Automated Batch Scanning with Filing Assist

 
How Filing Assist Works

Until recently scanning was only used to archive documents and filing and indexing was performed manually. Today scanning has become increasingly important as business requirements have evolved. Batches of documents need to be scanned in one go, automatically completed with file name and metadata before they are stored in different cloud services.

Canon can help accelerate your digital transition. Experience the great synergy of superb Canon imageRUNNER ADVANCE DX printers and uniFLOW Online, the market-leading cloud print and scan management solution.

Scanning at the device

Authentication at the device, batches of documents can be scanned silently in no time, by utilising pre-configured filing assist scan workflows. Scan jobs are sent to the cloud for further processing.

  • Processing in the cloud

    Once uploaded, documents are processed. Document types are automatically recognised, based on document structure and fixed text positions, and file name and metadata are pre-populated.

  • Validating at your desk

    Back at the desk, the scans are available in the uniFLOW Online Scan Center. The user is able to screen all scanned documents to check if the pre-populated file name and metadata are correct. If there are errors, the preview can be opened to edit the OCR-result or simply select a different OCR block which meets the metadata requirement. Changes are applied accordingly. Once done, documents are submitted to their final destination by hitting the ‘Send’- button.

Boost efficiency

Thanks to pre-populated file names and metadata, it is simple to search and retrieve documents.

  • Creating simplicity

    Intelligent forms recognition ensures that documents are recognised and pre-populated with the correct file name and metadata.

  • Increased accuracy

    Thanks to the automatic data population, time-consuming and error-prone manual filing and indexing are obsolete.
