Kodak Alaris honored with BLI 2022 Scanner Line of the Year Award

The Buyers Lab (BLI) 2022 Scanner Line of the Year Award was given to Kodak Alaris by Keypoint Intelligence. In the last seven years, the worldwide information capture specialist has won this coveted award six times.

The BLI Line of the Year Awards honour firms that offer a diverse variety of hardware or software solutions that out perform competitors in Keypoint Intelligence’s rigorous lab testing. Analysts evaluate a vendor’s whole portfolio for simplicity of use, features, performance, and value, and award the Line of the Year award to the vendor whose product line is deemed to be the best overall.

“After another rigorous year of scanner testing, Kodak Alaris still reigns supreme, taking home their sixth BLI Scanner Line of the Year Award in the last seven years,” said Lee Davis, Associate Director of Software/Scanners at Keypoint Intelligence. 

He added,“No matter which segment you look at, you’ll find scanners from Kodak Alaris are among the top performers in each category that Keypoint Intelligence evaluates, including in the critical areas of reliability, media handling, productivity, and OCR accuracy.”

“Earning this prestigious title is a great honor. We are very proud that our portfolio of smart and powerful scanning solutions, powered by decades of image science innovation, has again been independently validated by Keypoint Intelligence,” said Don Lofstrom, President & General Manager at Kodak Alaris. “To retain our status as the most awarded scanner manufacturer in Keypoint Intelligence’s 60-year history is hugely rewarding and humbling.”

This award comes after Kodak Alaris was announced as the winner of the first-ever BLI 2021-2022PaceSetter Award in Distributed Capture. This award honours the OEM with the most comprehensive distributed capture technology portfolio, which includes single-function scanners, capture software, and professional services. It is based on research conducted in the North American market.

Analysts at Keypoint Intelligence recognised the Kodak S3000 Series Scanner as the winner of the Winter 2021 Pick Award for Outstanding Departmental Scanner. The S3000 Series was praised by Keypoint Intelligence for its exceptional value, high reliability and OCR read rates, superior media handling capabilities, and software integration (including Kodak Capture Pro and Kodak Info Input Solution) to help businesses extend digital automation to the point of capture.
