Introduction

In a move set to revolutionize document management, AIRC Co., Ltd., a subsidiary of InfoDio Corporation, has announced the launch of "Smart OCR for FUJIFILM IWpro". This cutting-edge service, based on high-precision AI-OCR technology, is expected to significantly improve how organizations process and manage documents. The service will be officially available from September 22, 2025.

The Need for Enhanced Document Processing

Organizations face numerous challenges in managing paperwork, including invoices, purchase orders, and various document formats received through paper, fax, and email. The manual entry of data into systems creates a burden of duplicate efforts, while the searchability of archived documents remains a significant pain point.

The new integration with FUJIFILM IWpro aims to simplify these challenges. Users can now upload relevant documents to Smart OCR, where AI processes and recognizes the text, allowing for effortless registration and storage within FUJIFILM IWpro. The extracted information is then categorized as attributes, greatly enhancing the searchability of stored documents.

Transforming Business Operations with Smart OCR

This collaboration will usher in a range of operational reforms, characterized by:

1. High-precision Reading Performance: The Smart OCR solution has been designed to read blurred text, including handwritten notes, with remarkable accuracy. It has a proven track record of being adopted by governmental agencies and financial institutions.

2. Versatility Across Formats: Unlike traditional OCR systems that require predefined areas for text recognition, Smart OCR identifies keywords within entire documents. This approach allows it to efficiently process documents of varying formats with just a few templates.

3. Accurate Table Recognition: Complicated tables, including those without gridlines or those with merged cells, can be structurally converted into CSV data. Smart OCR can automatically recognize and extract tables, regardless of size, simplifying template management.

4. Integration with Product Master Data: The ability to link with master data ensures that even unlisted items on documents can be outputted. This feature aids in seamlessly preparing data for subsequent operations and absorbing discrepancies in product naming to produce accurate codes.

Integration Process Overview

The integration starts with users attaching relevant documents in FUJIFILM IWpro to execute AI-OCR processing. Smart OCR’s AI technology reads data from FAX and PDF documents, converting text into machine-readable data. The extracted CSV data is then reflected as attributes in FUJIFILM IWpro, enabling advanced search capabilities within archived documents.

This bi-directional integration allows for unified management of document AI-OCR, storage, and retrieval, while also facilitating integration with ordering systems. As a result, users will be liberated from the cumbersome task of manually inputting information from fax documents into systems.

Service Launch Date

The "Smart OCR for FUJIFILM IWpro" service will be available starting September 22, 2025. Users will need a subscription to both the FUJIFILM IWpro and Smart OCR services to take advantage of these advanced features.
