The Digital Mailroom Solution

By combining mail extraction with image capture, it is no longer necessary to route paper outside of the mailroom to be processed. In just one step, the AS3690i operator can open, extract, identify, capture, orient, sort, print an audit trail, and output mail contents.

Optimal Workflow

The AS3690i sets the standard for workflow efficiency. Simply load your mail onto the extraction desk and drop the extracted documents onto the conveyor. The AS3690i will then capture, process, sort, and output contents and data. This eliminates the need to transport, batch prep, sort, or add separator sheets between extraction and scanning.

With only one operator, the AS3690i can handle a variety of mail including checks, forms, claims, accountable mail, correspondence, and most other documents. Unlike most high-speed scanners, the AS3690i is able to scan a wide range of irregular, folded, and damaged media - without the need for careful stacking or jogging.

Innovative Features

The AS3690i offers several advanced image enhancements as well as in-line recognition of barcodes, optical character recognition (OCR), optical mark-sense recognition (OMR), magnetic ink character recognition (MICR), and document type classification. The wide MICR head provides enhanced MICR read for business checks.

There are three quick and convenient ways to identify documents that are difficult to classify. The operator can trigger sensors on the conveyer to activate IdAssist™, tap a key on the KeyAssist™ module, or simply touch the display screen.

Other features include a dual core PC controller with exceptional processing speed, a 17” LCD touch screen for operator controls and information, and six output sort bins.

OPEX Solution

Eliminating prep, paper handling, and other costly tasks not only improves efficiency, but also results in superior transaction integrity. As documents are removed from envelopes on the AS3690i, operators have an opportunity to ensure every item is properly captured and identified. The display shows each image as it is scanned and color-codes documents for easy transaction verification.

The AS3690i’s exclusive single-pass process eliminates the additional costs associated with traditional image capture. It is simply the fastest way to go from sealed envelope to usable data. The OPEX AS3690i makes quick work of all kinds of mail, providing efficient workflows and superior cost savings.

Results

With the OPEX solution, financial services companies have increased productivity by 300% using 10% fewer resources within a two year payback period. With this new solution, mail is opened, documents are scanned and sorted, and data is captured from various documents all from the OPEX AS3690i. The functions that used to be performed in three separate workstations have now been combined into one.
