Data Capture Solutions for the Logistics Industry

Cost-effective document management solution for Van Gend & Loos

Van Gend & Loos, one of the largest Dutch

logistics and cargo companies, turned to

EasyData for a solution to automate its document

processing through OCR technology. The goal

was to extract certain text and graphical information from an incoming

stream of printed forms. Having considered the prohibitive cost of

purchasing and operating a full-scale form-processing system, EasyData

and ATAPY offered and implemented a customized solution. It only

works with the documents received by Van Gend & Loos and does a

better job at a fraction of the cost of any off-the-shelf product.

In 2004 the customer returned to EasyData with a request to further develop the program. The input documents were 2 double-sided pages and sometimes, due to scanning mistakes (doublefeeds, face-down feeds), the data was getting mixed up. The new version of the program watches the page order and corrects it when possible, or warns the user of a non-recoverable situation.

Both parts of the project were implemented quickly and to the full satisfaction of the customer. The program is currently working on the customer's site backing up an important part of its business process.

About Van Gend & Loos:Van Gend & Loos was a Dutch distribution company. It was established in 1809 by the Antwerp-based innkeeper and carriage driver J.B. van Gend.

Customizing ABBYY FineReader for processing construction shipping forms in Belgium

The Fernand Georges company (Belgium), a construction and industrial equipment dealer, was looking for means to automate its document flow processing. The task was to detect specific spots on shipping forms, read the data at these spots and export it for further processing. In addition the forms had to be re-grouped into multi-page TIFF files, each file representing one form with its attachments.

EasyData and ATAPY proposed ABBYY FineReader 6.0 Engine as the OCR basis. This choice was additionally justified by the fact that the forms were being prepared with a matrix printer, for which FineReader provides the special recognition mode to

increase OCR quality. The solution was successfully implemented and is now participating in heavy-duty production at Fernand Georges.
