Fuji Xerox has a well-established know-how of improving businesses’ entire work process through its BPO (business process outsourcing) service. By combining those skills with Ripcord’s advanced robotics technology and AI (artificial intelligence) which transforms paper records to digital in high speed, FUJIFILM RIPCORD will enable the digitalization of previously unmanageable large quantities of paper reports, vouchers, contracts and other kinds of documents in a reduced amount of time.
Overview of the services flow by FUJIFILM RIPCORD:
- Ripcord’s state of the art Robotics utilize computer vision and high quality sensor technology to elevate the scanning quality; the robotics automatically create image data quickly from large quantities of paper documents that are stored in banks, insurance companies, government, energy-related and other businesses which use large quantities of paper
- AI automatically adds tags using optical character recognition (OCR) technology and classifies the digitalized data using Canopy, the integrated digitization and content services platform to facilitate storage, search, and utilization
- Canopy allows for management and extraction of digitalized data enhancing work process efficiency
