Unisys Corporation (NYSE:UIS) today announced the new SmartSource®
Adaptive series, a next generation family of image capture devices that
allow banks and corporate clients to process checks and other payment
items remotely at faster speeds and more efficiently and securely than
earlier generations of its image capture devices. The announcement was
made at The Association for Work Process Improvement’s TAWPI
2009 Forum & Expo.
The Adaptive series extends the SmartSource product line to provide
greater levels of flexibility in check and full-page image capture. The
new series combines the industry-proven SmartSource technology for check
processing with full-page image capture capabilities to enable clients
to capture and convert all processed items, regardless of size, to high
quality images.
“Large multi-national financial institutions are looking for flexible
payment technology that will allow them to meet their business needs
across varied country specific regulatory environments,” said Alan
Howard, president of Unisys Payment Systems. “This new series of scanner
provides that flexibility; with a full complement of inbuilt check
processing capabilities, and the added benefit of intermixed full-page
processing in a single compact footprint that is tailored to the bank
branch and back office environment.”
The Adaptive series leverages industry leading, check processing
technology present in the current SmartSource Professional series.
Standard features include an auto-sensing (CMC7 and E13B) MICR reader,
as well as early front image capture for quality validation, along with
variable image renditions (black & white and grey scale) and resolutions
(100 dpi up to 240 dpi). Also available with the new series are options
for optical character recognition, one to four lines of
height-adjustable endorsement with graphics, and a franking capability.
The new Unisys technology captures full-page documents at high (300 dpi)
resolution, to enable easy integration with industry leading full-page
intelligent character recognition engines. Check-sized and full-page
documents can be intermixed for processing, with detection of document
size, so the appropriate processing rules can be applied.
All these features are provided at a throughput rate of up to 70
check-sized documents per minute or 30 full page documents per minute.
Volume shipments for the SmartSource Adaptive series are expected to
begin in the fourth quarter of this year. More information can be found
