Recent Successful Projects:

Removing Printing from a Print to Scan Project
Problem: The customer was printing documents that were then input to a scanning system and then on to a Content Manager. The final step was manually keying in the index information.
Solution: APWI provided a Print stream to a Content Manager format converter and an indexer that harvested the information from the original document eliminating the printing, scanning and manual keying of the index information.

Connecting a Content Manager to a Production Printing System
Problem: This customer needed to take the output from multiple instances of a Content Manager and make it suitable for input to a production printing system. The content manager uses an older print stream format and the print production system has all the bells and whistles of a modern security concerned document production facility. The corporate auditors check the print logs regularly.
Solution: APWI provided a solution that allowed the documents to come in all day from multiple Content Managers and be placed in a consolidated file. All of the documents were provided with new document control barcodes. The printer meter reading controls were added as well as a quality control page. The document security file is generated and the MRDF for the inserting process is also generated.

Providing Production Printing Controls and Automatic Reprints
Problem: The customer had a high speed printing facility with multiple printers and a large inserting system. The problem was to generate the barcode to control the sorting system and to provide reprints of missing pages detected by the inserting system.
Solution: APWI provided a system that harvested information from the documents, encoded this with additional inserting control information into barcodes placed on the documents. These barcode are also utilized to store the documents in a database system. This allows the exception file provided by the inserting system to be used as a reprinting command file to regenerate any lost pages.
