Kodak Alaris announced the launch of its next-generation KODAK S5000 Series production scanners and the latest version of its capture software, KODAK Capture Pro 7.0. Delivering unmatched speed, accuracy and automation, the new scanners process up to 210 sheets per minute and are purpose-built to meet the exacting needs of high-volume, high-stakes industries across the Middle East, including banking, insurance, healthcare, and government.
“Across the Middle East, businesses are under intense pressure to digitise operations quickly and accurately to meet rising customer expectations and regulatory demands,” said Naji Kazak, VP EMEIA & APAC at Kodak Alaris. “By enabling organisations to scan, process and archive vast amounts of information with exceptional speed and precision, the new KODAK S5000 Series and Capture Pro 7.0 help ensure that no critical data is lost and that customer interactions, whether it’s a loan application, a medical record or an insurance claim, are handled seamlessly and securely.”
At the heart of the KODAK S5000 Series is a powerful 32-core image processor, enabling consistently high throughput even for complex, mixed-batch scan jobs. The scanners’ Dynamic Flow technology distributes computing load between hardware and software, maintaining full speed even when producing three simultaneous image outputs per page. This is ideal for organisations needing both archival and optimised files. For example, an insurance company can simultaneously capture a compliant image for audit purposes, an optimised file for workflow, and a colour copy for customer service, all in a single pass.
The scanners are also designed to handle sensitive and irregular documents with ease, thanks to advanced protection mechanisms including ultrasonic double-feed detection, metal and crease sensors, and intelligent slowdown to prevent jams or damage. This reliability is critical in finance and healthcare, where preserving original documents while maintaining processing efficiency can directly impact customer outcomes. The redesigned operator interface features an intuitive touchscreen for faster setup and issue resolution, while real-time monitoring of consumables minimises disruption to critical workflows.
KODAK Capture Pro 7.0 complements the new hardware with a fully 64-bit architecture and an adaptable tile-based user interface, built to manage even the largest and most complex capture jobs. In concert, the hardware and software provide an integrated solution that helps organisations streamline workflows, eliminate bottlenecks, and improve turnaround times, ultimately enhancing the customer experience.
“These scanners have been designed to unlock productivity at a time when Middle East businesses are under more pressure than ever to operate efficiently,” Kazak added. “By automating tedious manual steps and ensuring reliable, high-quality output, Kodak Alaris empowers organisations to focus on delivering better outcomes. Our customers are seeing tangible business value, whether that’s faster and more accurate claims processing in insurance, or more thorough vetting of loan applications in finance. All this goes a long way in improving customer trust and satisfaction.”
The KODAK S5000 Series is available in three models tailored to different performance needs: the S5160 processes up to 160 sheets per minute, the S5180 up to 180 sheets per minute, and the flagship S5210 up to 210 sheets per minute, with tri-stream mode delivering even higher image counts. The KODAK Capture Pro 7.0 software and the entire S5000 Series will be available in the Middle East starting August 2025.
