High-Volume Scanning

High-Volume/Production Scanning



There are many different types of scanning processes, types, hardware and procedures out there. What they are, how they work and the potential benefits or issues of those different types of scanning is something you can learn here on this page and the rest of the scanning resources.

What Is Production Scanning

Definition of Production Scanning
Production scanning digitizes large volumes of paper documents quickly and efficiently. It involves high-speed document scanners that can process thousands of pages per hour.

Who uses Production Scanning
Production scanning is typically used by organizations that need to convert large volumes of paper records into digital formats, such as government agencies, financial institutions, and healthcare providers.


How does it work
During production scanning, documents are loaded into a feeder, which pulls them through the scanner. The scanner captures an image of each page, which is then processed and stored in a digital format, such as a PDF or TIFF file. Production scanning can be automated to a large extent, with features such as double-feed detection, blank page removal, and auto-rotation of pages to ensure that all documents are captured accurately.


Benefits of Production Scanning
Production scanning can significantly improve document management efficiency, eliminating manual data entry and allowing for quick and easy retrieval of digital records. It also reduces the risk of document loss or damage, as digital records can be backed up and stored securely in the cloud or a server.


Difference Production Scanning and High-Volume Scanning

Production scanning and high-volume scanning are very similar, both include the process of scanning large quantities  of documents in an effective manner. High-volume scanning is an overall term used in any situation that involves large volumes of documents being scanned. Production scanning is when there is a process and hardware specifically included in for example a business to accomodate the high volume scanning.


Benefits of High-Volume Scanning

Definition of High-Volume Scanning
High-volume, or bulk scanning, refers to digitizing many physical documents quickly and efficiently.


Benefits of High-Volume Scanning for organizations

  • Reduced storage space: By converting paper documents into digital format, organizations can reduce the amount of physical storage required for document storage, freeing up valuable office space and eliminating the need for expensive off-site storage.
  • Improved document access: With digital documents, organizations can quickly and easily search for and retrieve documents, reducing the time and effort required to find information.
  • Increased productivity: High-volume scanning can improve productivity by reducing the time and effort required to manage paper documents. Employees can spend less time searching for and handling physical documents and more time on value-added tasks.
  • Enhanced security: Digital documents can be encrypted and password protected, reducing the risk of unauthorized access or loss of sensitive information.
  • Cost savings: By reducing the need for physical storage and streamlining document management processes, organizations can save on storage and administrative costs.
  • Compliance: Digital documents can be stored and managed in compliance with regulatory and legal requirements, reducing the risk of fines or legal action.
