Scanning / Digitization / Cadding
Introduction
Scanning blueprints, mechanical drawings, aerial photos etc. have redefined the use of archives. Once scanned, the images are in a digital format and can be saved on to CDs. One CD stores up to 650 MB (possibly over 1000 drawings).
Shimi Designs has backward integrated to provide CAD services. We have 3 professional scanners to handle bulk volumes of scanning work.
We use latest software for noise / dirt removal and cleaning of drawings.
Scanning and Digitization work is handled by experience manpower.
We pay utmost importance on Quality of the drawings scanned and digitized. All documents / drawings are thoroughly checked before forwarding to client for their comments and finalization.
We assure full confidentiality of customer's documents and property by signing confidentiality agreement.

- Preservation of data
- Large reduction in storage area
- Better trace ability & faster retrieval of documents
- Faster & cheaper transfer of data
- Saves valuable searching time
- Intelligent CAD files can be used with Cost estimation, Area calculation, Inventory tracking & Engineering Design software
- Rescaling, Revision of CAD drawings is 2-8 times faster than paper drawing
- Architectural drawings once converted to CAD ,may be viewed in 3D.This could be further extended to provide walk-thru facility to enhance visualization.
- Data extraction from CAD files becomes faster and easier for direct input into databases for maintenance and material control,project management,quality assurance attributes with symbols.
- Digital data is easier and cheaper to replicate than paper based data.
- Digital data can be uploaded onto the Internet for world wide access.Websites providing access to digitized archives of newspapers,manuscripts,patents,magazines,books etc have a large number of visitors.
