Document Conversion

DPS has a unique capability for converting documents from books in our robotic book scanning. With that capability along with planetary and loose sheet scanning, we can handle hundreds of thousands of pages per month.

Our robotic book scanner is a radically innovative machine that enables the rapid digitization of content locked away in bound documents. These book scanners automate the process of turning pages while assuring preservation of fragile materials and capturing two pages at a time with two high-image-quality digital cameras. This makes the process of bound book scanning capable of up to 1,500 pages an hour.
