Scanning

All types of large format documents, including engineering drawings can be scanned and converted to digital format.

Engineering or Architectural Drawings
IMR can also scan large format drawings to digital format for those customers that need this service. Once the document has been digitized, additional enhancement in the form of raster-to-vector (R2V) conversion is available to allow import into a CAD environment. (See Raster to Vector)

Aperture Card Scanning
While not document scanning in the strictest sense, another service that IMR offers is the scanning of aperture cards. Once popular as a means of storing and distributing engineering drawings, aperture cards can be scanned, and in many cases, treated similarly to scanned drawings.

IMR's specialized book scanner captures pages in any book as a single page or a double-page spread. Sophisticated software provides curvature correction on all pages.

Book Scanning
Often bound materials can not be disbound for scanning, due to their historical value, or in order to preserve their integrity as a record (such as laboratory notebooks). In this instance, IMR would use a book scanner to capture the image, either as a single page or a double-page spread. Sophisticated software allows for curvature correction of the pages, allowing the images to appear flat.

The benefits of the IMR scanning solution is that it will enable your organization to reduce storage expenses, provide fast access to your documents. Scanning documents combined with a comprehensive information management process will improve efficiencies, internal operations and workflow.

All documents to be scanned are carefully prepared to remove any creases to provide the best image result.

Business Documents
Digital conversion is another part of IMR's 360 approach to document conversion. We are a full imaging service bureau, capable of converting all of your documents to digital format, either on a day-forward basis, or as part of a large backfile project. We can output the images and index in a format compatible with your document management system. IMR can accommodate turnaround times to suit our customer's need for the information housed within the documents.

On-site Scanning
For those customers that can not allow their documents to leave their facility for conversion, IMR offers on-site scanning, also known as facilities management services. These services include document preparation, document scanning, administrative project management, any task defined by the customer's requirement relating to document conversion. We will place our highly skilled staff at your facility to do conversion work on-site, allowing you, and your staff to stay focused on the activities needed to keep your business running smoothly.

We offer secure storage of your documents during the conversion process. We have tight security procedures and have systems and processes in place to maintain all document confidentiality.
