A SE England based energy utility has purchased eleven SmartLF* large format scanners to scan many different document types including engineering drawings and site plans. Over a quarter of the UK population benefit from the utility’s distribution of electricity. They are also a major generator and supply electricity and gas through a number of regional brands.

SmartLF is a high performance color and monochrome large format scanner range with innovative contact image sensor technology that delivers fast yet cost-effective large format image capture. The scanners are designed to provide the semi-professional and office scanning market with a future-proofed solution via hardware and software enhancement options. Whether it is maps or monochrome line drawings, SmartLF delivers accuracy and quality with maximum workflow at an affordable cost.

A major factor in the purchase decision was SmartLF’s very affordable cost – less than £5,000 for an A0+ color scanner. The UK distributor commented “SmartLF has had a considerable impact on the market by creating opportunities for customers who previously were prohibited from owning a scanner due to high prices.”
