ESL has enhanced its EventMan™ and DocumentMan™ products to include integrated support for a number of hardware devices, such as smart cards, digital cameras, RFID chips, multi-function printers, 3D scanning devices
and mobile phones.
Ricoh’s RDCi700 digital camera is supported and allows users in the field to take photos, annotate them with text and send them via a wireless link directly from the camera to DocumentMan or EventMan in order to trigger the creation of new work items, or to update and even sign-off and close existing work items.
Nokia’s 3650 mobile phone has a built-in digital VGA camera. ESL is currently integrating this model with its software, allowing the phone to be used to send images, video, SMS and multimedia messaging directly to EventMan and DocumentMan through a simple, friendly interface.
Hitachi’s new Blink Scan is a sophisticated 3D scanner, enabling users to make scans of three dimensional objects quickly and easily. The rostrum mounted camera can accommodate objects up to 297 x 216mm (base size) and 150mm
in height, scanning at resolutions between 200 and 400dpi, up to 12 million pixels. This device is ideal for bound documents, 3D objects and the rapid scanning of documents and can be accessed directly from within EventMan
and DocumentMan.
