Kodak Alaris Launches Next-Gen Scanners and Software to Drive Business Efficiency and Customer Impact
Kodak Alaris today announced the launch of its next-generation KODAK S5000 Series production scanners and the latest version of its industry-leading 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 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 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.

Airport liquids rule lifted ... depending on where you fly from
The 100ml liquid rule has been lifted at two airports ahead of the summer holidays. Holidaymakers at Birmingham and Edinburgh airports will no longer be banned from packing liquids measuring more than 100ml into their hand luggage. The airports have installed next-generation scanners, meaning passengers may now carry up to two litres of liquids. The 100ml limit was first introduced in 2006 after a plot to blow up transatlantic airliners with liquid explosives was uncovered. The rules were set to be removed at every airport last year, but the plans were scrapped after a number of airports failed to install the scanners in time. The change meant Newcastle, Leeds Bradford, London City, Aberdeen, Southend and Teesside airports had to make an about-turn on their introduction of the new scanners. Now the Department for Transport has given the go-ahead for airports to start rolling them out one by one. However, there are fears that the piecemeal introduction of the new scanners could lead to confusion among holidaymakers uncertain of whether the airport they are travelling from allows larger amounts of liquids. Passengers will also no longer be required to take liquids out of their bags when they go through the scanner. The first to introduce the new scanners was Birmingham airport last Wednesday. A spokesman for the airport said it would 'enable a faster and more efficient processing of hand luggage'. 'We are pleased passengers can now benefit from this change in ruling, made by the Government in time for the summer peak,' he added. On Monday, Edinburgh airport followed suit. 'A whole generation of travellers have only known the 100ml rule to be the case, so it really is a momentous day as we become the first airport in Scotland to lift the rule since it was introduced in 2006,' said Gordon Dewar, its chief executive. 'The change allows more flexibility for passengers to take liquids through security, all while maintaining and improving our high safety levels through the use of 3D technology.' Lifting the 100ml liquids restriction was seen as one of the key post-pandemic improvements tempting families back to air travel. Amsterdam Schiphol, Helsinki, Frankfurt, Rome Fiumicino, Milan (both Linate and Malpensa), Cork and Shannon are among the European airports to have rolled out the new technology.

Hertz Is Using AI to Scan Your Rental Car for Damage, and It Might Cost You
Hertz is introducing scanners that use artificial intelligence software to scan cars before and after they are rented to more accurately and quickly assess damage. Hertz aims to add the equipment to 100 locations in the U.S. by the end of 2025. A report from The Drive said that a reader who experienced the system was asked to pay $190 in processing and administrative fees to repair a roughly one-inch scrape on a wheel. Returning a rental car can be nerve-wracking. Will the rental company discover a small ding? Did you remember to take photos of the car beforehand to prove your dent-related innocence? Hertz is trying to make the process more accurate and transparent with new scanners that use artificial intelligence to inspect vehicles before and after the rental period. The scanners are being rolled out across the country now, and while they will likely lead to improved accuracy, an anecdotal account from The Drive shows there still may be some teething issues. UVeye It's unclear if these fees would be the same if the car had been inspected manually by a human, or if the fees are there to cover the expense of Hertz's partnership with UVeye.

Trump's tariffs cloud the future of a medical wonder
FORCHHEIM, Germany — On the outskirts of this bucolic town, in a region known as 'das Medical Valley,' workers on a vast factory floor are assembling what they describe as the future: the game-changing scanners that can give doctors the most detailed images ever of what is happening inside the hearts, lungs and brains of their patients.
