uniFLOW allows the multi-functional device
(MFD) to be used as a secure and seamless
entry point of paper into a back-end system.
Furthermore, uniFLOW allows documents
to capture the value of the contained
information rather than just allow
documents to be sent to an email or folder
as an image. For example, uniFLOW
contains an OCR engine that can recognise
text in 137 languages, allowing documents
to be stored in a document management
system as a fully searchable file.
Furthermore, uniFLOW can compress the
document to a fraction of its original size.
This allows them to be shared much more
easily via email. This smaller file not only
retains the quality of the original but also
includes the full text of the document.
The administrator can define precise
workflows for each document type, allowing
many different processes to take place.
These different workflows can either be
selected manually by the user
document type can be automatically
detected by uniFLOW and the appropriate
workflow applied.

Even with the growth of electronic communication,
managing information on paper remains a critical process
for every organisation. The problem in the past has always
been how to capture the information contained within the
paper document into an existing electronic workow.

Personal workflows can also follow the user
from device to device so no matter where
they choose to scan their documents, their
experience of the scanning process will be
the same
The user can be prompted to enter any
information required by the workflow directly
on the Canon Multi-Functional device panel
This could be a folder location, an email
address, a document management system
or any indexing data required by the
workflow. Index information can be taken
automatically from the scanned documents
via zone OCR or barcode recognition. For
example, a customer account number can
be automatically recognised when
processing an invoice to a document
management system.
