The Advantages of Scanning
ARCHIVAL
- SPACE SAVING - Paper storage typically costs £45-£95 per m2. One single CD-Rom will store 1000+ A0 drawings.
- DATA INTEGRITY - No more lost or misplaced drawings. Stops drawing degradation through copying of drawings.
- DATA SECURITY - Allowing multiple copies of electronic drawing archives to be made and kept off-site for protection against fire, flood and other disasters affecting paper and microfiche archives.
- SHARED ACCESS - Through networking a document/drawing may be viewed by workshops, Production Managers, Accounts and Sales/Marketing without the need to get copy documents/drawings made up from the print room.
EDITING
- TIME SAVING - Fast easy changes can be made to paper drawings using the power of CAD but without the need to spend time converting the drawing fully to CAD.
- ESTIMATING - Bills of materials can be produced for your services without the expense of having to produce the client's drawings in CAD first.
- DRAWING REVISION - Special client requirements can be made in CAD without having to re-design the drawing or carry out small revision details that do not warrant the conversion of the drawing fully into a CAD format.
