The Civil Aviation Authority of
Singapore (CAAS) is a statutory board under the Ministry of
Transport in Singapore. It represents the government in the
negotiation of air services agreements as well as advises on matters
related to civil aviation. Besides ensuring smooth and efficient
airport operations, it also regulates and promotes the development
of air transport. One of its key roles is to anticipate and deal
effectively with the changing needs and demands of the aviation
industry. CAAS has also developed and transformed Changi Airport
into a major global, award winning air hub. Changi Airport is
currently served by more than 80 airlines connecting to over 180
cities in more than 50 countries, with more than 3,900 weekly
flights.
The Challenge
The Development & Engineering
Division at CAAS looks after the overall Infrastructure and airport
master planning, operations and maintenance of mechanical and
electrical systems and civil engineering facilities at Changi and
Seletar Airports as well as airport development projects such as the
building of the 3rd passenger terminal. Concise documentation of
all relevant paperwork is
fundamental. This meant that the division has to maintain an
extensive library of aviation systems engineering reports, concept
development plans,
test plans and procedures,
etc.
Recognizing the importance of
generating accurate eye-readable records for long term archival
storage, the division started sourcing for a more effective
document capture solution to meet the increasing needs of its
document management processes. The Canon DR5010C document scanner
(distributed by Pericom Imaging (S) Pte Ltd ) was decided after they had evaluated several options.
The Solution
 Using
Can’s DR5010C document scanner, the Development & Engineering
Division at CAAS scan their various category projects documents
double sided at 100 images per minutes for batch scanning. This
ranges from odd sizes to right up to A3 sizes. Skew detection also
prevents documents from tearing or jamming if large documents are
fed at an incorrect angle. Ultrasonic sensors also detect any gap
between overlapping pages to prevent the loss of images resulting
from multiple documents being fed at the same time. This ensures
that, even with large document batches, every images and page will
be scanned.
“By automating the rate in images
processing time, the end results is a more enhanced paper handling
which is efficient and easy to maintain, said Mr. Lim Hoe Boon,
Corporate Service Officer (Engineering), Development & Engineering
Division, CAAS. “This has also enable an increase in our document
capture processes and improves our productivity,”
The Results
Through the use of this solution,
the Development & Engineering Division at CAAS reaped the following
benefits:
