Automated Machine for Scanning Paper Documents, Books, Archives, etc.
Year: 2016 – 2017
Project
Technological development is already noticeably visible in different branches, industries, productions and service types. All this further stimulates the need for digitization of information. The paper carrier will become more and more rare until it disappears completely. A “digitization machine” is a development that can benefit the smooth transition from paper to digitization. The project is aimed at an automated system whose function is to digitize – archives, documents, books and magazines that are suitable for scanning. The designing of the machine went through intensive communication with other types of specialists – hardware engineer and programmer. The goal of the project is to build a functioning structure of an automated machine, and then to develop hardware equipment combined with appropriate software management.

Development
Development focused on the basic structure and overall layout of the automated system; the individual devices, their operation and all the details from which they are built; choice of materials, basic details and the elements from which the entire machine is made. Upgrading the devices, designing exoskeleton and external hardware housing panels, as well as assembling a functional prototype. The machine is made up of several devices with different functions and a certain sequence of operations. Adapted automation has linear guides, bearings and bearers. The goal is to achieve the assembly of the overall structure and the individual hardware components, and then to develop software for machine control.
