Kodak Alaris and iFLYTEK header

Background

Kodak Alaris and iFLYTEK have been working together for eight years. As a well-known listed company in the Asia-Pacific region for intelligent voice and artificial intelligence, iFLYTEK has always adhered to using artificial intelligence to build a better world, continuously expanding industry tracks and actively promoting application implementation. In the in-depth application of the field of intelligent education, iFLYTEK has continued to make breakthroughs in core technologies. Taking online marking of exam papers as an example, the related products and services have been widely recognized by the market. At the same time, in response to constantly updating and changing needs and to meet specific business functions, iFLYTEK urgently needed an excellent and efficient scanner product on the hardware side to complete the upgrade and iteration of the product support, demonstrate outstanding performance, and effectively improve work efficiency.

Goal

Combining iFLYTEK's functional advantages in the field of smart education, especially online marking of exams, with a focus on usage scenarios, pain points and practical application requirements, Kodak Alaris, with its excellent product performance and in-depth insights, has significantly improved and improved the pressure button adjustment, LCD screen operation, feeder capacity and other aspects of the device, starting from the user's needs, efficiently completing the product update iteration and solving the pain points in the customer's actual application.

Solution

By purchasing and using the Kodak S3000 series scanner, iFLYTEK directly accesses powerful intelligent connected scanning solutions, which easily enable efficient office work.

Results

After using the Kodak S3000 series scanners, customers are supported in their operations more conveniently, and the efficiency of the processes of feeding paper, batch scanning, data extraction and analysis during online marking has been significantly improved, achieving automated processing and real-time information provision.

Adding quality and detail to empower application scenarios

With the continuous expansion of iFLYTEK's business in the field of smart education, new requirements have been placed on the solution product portfolio, and the standards for hardware are also constantly changing. With the Kodak S3000 series scanner, for example, in the setting of the pressure buckle, considering that the standards for domestic educational examination papers are not uniform and each region has its own characteristics, and the paper alone covers a range of 60 grams to 120 grams or even higher, so the paper feeding channel of the scanner is put forward high requirements. The S3000 series scanner has developed a brand new pressure buckle, which can produce different pressures on different types of paper through adjustment, so as to facilitate the smooth entry of the paper. In addition, the feeder capacity has been maximized, which means that the number of sheets that can be processed in each batch has increased, and the number of times the paper needs to be fed has also been reduced for the same amount of batches scanned.

Compared with the previous scanner products, which only had a single selection setting on the display screen, the S3000 series scanner from Keda Xunfei has added a paper correction function, which allows users to simply and directly operate the device through the display screen. At the same time, users can understand the operating status of the device and the usage of consumables in real time through the LCD screen, which provides users with intuitive feedback. It is worth mentioning that because users in the field of smart education often have a large amount of scanning, real-time tracking of the device status facilitates timely replacement of consumables, which will better ensure the smooth progress of daily work.

Based on the good foundation of past cooperation, Kodak Alaris has not only maintained a high standard of continuous business optimization, but has also explored the development of the market demand for the network marking business sector and the accompanying software improvement of iFLYTEK, and improved the relevant equipment by obtaining key information in a timely manner. At the same time, Kodak Alaris has combined the industry background and model changes of smart education, broken through the routine, demonstrated strong plasticity, output targeted products, and provided users with more valuable services.

iFLYTEK Co., Ltd

As a powerful, connected solution that meets the growing needs of customers, Kodak S3000 series scanners offer many advantages, including:

  • Improved quality and efficiency: Perfect Page technology converts poor-quality originals into clear images, intelligently evaluating and improving each image while scanning at rated speeds; minimizing the cost and time spent on data entry while turning important information from paper into actionable data and insights.
  • Simple and intuitive: a larger, more intuitive color touchscreen and personalized work tasks can be completed with one click using Smart Touch technology; direct scanning to applications, i.e. scanning via TWAIN, ISIS or RESTful API-based scanning, imports information directly into the application.
  • More intelligence: Thanks to Intelligent Document Protection (IDP) and a multifeed detector, potential productivity-robbing issues are identified before they cause jams or misfeeds. The straight or U-turn paper path with adjustable feeder pressure ensures smooth, secure document handling. A larger 300-sheet feeder and controlled paper output stacking smoothly handle a wide range of paper weights and sizes in a single batch, achieving mixed batch processing accuracy.
  • Hassle-free service: Kodak S3000 series scanners are EPEAT® Gold certified and meet ENERGY STAR® standards for energy efficiency and hazardous waste reduction.

Crafting high quality and enhancing customer satisfaction with product performance

Kodak Alaris has been deeply involved in the scanner industry for many years, and its mature product operation system can create efficient and appropriate service solutions for customers. After thoroughly understanding the customer's upgrade needs, Kodak Alaris starts from the industry scenario and selects the most suitable products for customers to choose from.

During the product testing process, the Kodak S3000 series stood out from the crowd after three consecutive days of stress testing. The outstanding stability of the S3000 series was demonstrated through batch scanning of different gram weights of paper, such as 60g, 70g, 80g, 90g, 100g, etc. At the same time, the device also performed well in terms of paper jam rate, paper tearing, and content processing data. This strength is proven by the fact that in the same amount of time, the same standard scanner, the S3000 series can process 210,000 pieces of data in three days, while other similar products are significantly inferior.

From customer needs to breakthroughs in the realization of “high customization” attributes of the product, the “vast ocean of stars” is already on the way
