    3. eMDI Delivers Real Value Improves cash flow for LTL carriers by reducing the time between delivery of shipments and invoicing the shipper eMDI enables processing after each stop versus the end of the day or after leaving with a drop off service Trip envelopes have to be processed before customers can be billed. Point & Capture user experience reduces variability in image quality between individual users Laser framer (no more “estimating” with a view finder) Image enhancement that can’t be provided by using camera only Keystone correction (perspective), brightness, flattening, contrast Works in indoor, outdoor and cab lighting conditions Easy integration with existing mobile applications and popular document management systems Compatible with major document management systems. Supports common document indexing schemes (doc #, PRO #, invoice #, date/time stamp, etc.) Creates images in native formats that are accepted by document management companies. Use eMDI software “out of the box”. Integrates directly with existing mobile applications. APIs available to customize user experience. Mobile imagers give workers a fast and reliable way to convert paper documents into electronic forms. Electronic document capture streamlines back office operations and reduces data entry time, because document images can be transmitted from the field directly to back office applications over wireless networks. Customer service and other staff gain real-time access to document images, via the enterprise systems, which can be used to answer customer queries, issue invoices, and update records.

    4. Improves Cash Flow eMDI enables processing after each stop vs. the end of the day Document images are immediately transmitted from the field directly to back office applications over wireless networks Reduces data entry time and streamlines back office operations Customer service and other staff gain real-time access to document images, via the enterprise systems Real-time ability to answer customer queries, issue invoices, and update records

    5. Point & Capture User Experience Easy-to-use point & capture user experience reduces variability in image quality between individual users Image capture from ~1 foot above document Works in outdoor, indoor and cab lighting conditions Laser framer (no fiddling with viewfinder) Image correction Keystone correction, brightening, flattening, contrast Up to 10 degrees of rotation, up to 35 degrees off of vertical Images in file sizes reasonable for mobile environments

    6. Easy to Integrate Compatible with common document management systems TMW Create native TIFF images No image format conversion required to import images into a document mgmt system TIFF is most common format supported by document mgmt systems Motorola currently produces JPEG TIFF files are smaller than JPEG (4x more compression) Support for common document indexing schemes doc #, PRO #, invoice #, date/time stamp, GPS geo code, meta data into image User Options Use EMDI software out-of-the-box Integrate directly with your existing mobile application Shorten development Proven user experience APIs available to customize the user experience

    7. How To Use eMDI Place document on a flat surface with a dark background in an environment with good lighting Depress the scan button and hold it down to project the laser framer onto the document Starting from a few inches away slowly raise the mobile computer straight up. The laser framer will spread beyond the edges of the document. The image will be captured and the computer should beep to indicate a good read.

    8. Current Performance – Set The Right Expectation Intermec is the first to market with full size document imaging. In the coming years, eMDI will receive continued product development investment. However, the initial offering will support only human readable applications. Constraints Full size documents 8.5” x 11” and A4 Documents need good print contrast and good lighting environments Image capture is limited to only jpeg grayscale images Half size documents can be captured to TIFF monochrome images if they have good print contrast with good lighting Current version does not support OCR or decoding embedded barcodes

    9. Target Markets and Applications Transportation & Logistics--primary Transportation processes still very paper intensive (ex. Bills of Lading) Less-than-Truckload carriers Courier Express Package Postal Carrier Last Mile Delivery Field Service --secondary Paperless service delivery confirmation from the field Signature capture Proof of service Include the mention that there may be other markets that are interested in this product.Include the mention that there may be other markets that are interested in this product.

    10. Competitive Positioning – eMDI Advantages Document Service ~$10/truck/month eMDI has 1 year ROI when compared to document service Flatbed Scanner eMDI expedites billing process eMDI eliminates clerical labor Scanner + SW = ~$1,300 Mobile Scanners NeatReceipts $100 list IT departments greatly resist deploying secondary mobile devices Mobile Computer with Camera Document Capture versus Document Photography Point & Capture user experience No image enhancement

    11. Pricing: Competitive Offerings Document Collection / Imaging Service $10/ truck / month (medium-sized fleet; discounted rate; ~800 trucks) Examples: Pegasus Flying J Flatbed Scanner Prices vary based on scanner features. Kodak i30 desktop Scanner $650 With Kofax VRS software $650 Total $1300 High-end scanners can cost quite a bit more Also requires clerical labor to scan documents

    14. eMDI Delivers a Superior Solution For in-field document imaging For business purposes, cameras cannot be used as imagers Getting usable document images from a digital camera is very challenging Photographs can’t be printed on paper to clearly resemble the original document eMDI includes image control and correction features so scanned documents can be clearly read, faxed, archived and used Brightness correction, removal of any keystone image effect (perspective), and sharpening of the image to prepare it for entry into document management systems eMDI gives mobile workers a fast and reliable way to convert paper documents into electronic forms No extra equipment or services to fund or maintain Compatibility and easy integration with common document management systems Part of a powerful mobile computing solution Imagers are not digital cameras. Area imagers developed for commercial use include sophisticated image control and enhancement software. Generally,. A picture of a document looks like just that - a picture of a document., but imagers can be used as cameras. Electronic document capture streamlines back office operations and reduces data entry time, because document images can be transmitted from the field directly to back office applications over wireless networks.
