The Challenge
Improving the Vision X - the most successful desktop scanner of all times - was no easy task... but an American Banker had told Ugo Panini:
"If you find a way to align checks right in the feeder, you will dominate the market."
And that's where it started: the Vision neXt's unique and patented vertical AND horizontal advanced auto-alignment ("3A") mechanism eliminates the need for manual check jogging, even when different sizes are present, and allows tellers to focus on their customers instead of on the device in charge of the deposit operation.
That was a WINNNER, and it still is. Today many Financial Institutions all over the world are safisfied users of the Vision neXt, even in countries where checks are used in only one size!
The result
In addition to that, here's what else we built into the Vision neXt, back in 2013:
- High throughput - 100 or 160 dpm
- Dual-sided ID card scanner, usable for identity verification and customer authentication
- Advanced Graphics Printer with up to 14 lines for endorsement, cut sheet receipts, cashiers' check filling
- Multi-purpose single-item pocket for misplaced documents and other exceptions
- Full track with swing-open covers, and a single replaceable consumable roller
- Minimized true device footprint within an elegant and modern design, in sharp contrast with the boxy, ordinary scanners of other brand.
Today
Panini is now putting this glorious product in end-of-life - please check the Marketing Bulletin with all relevant details here - while all its winning features, and much more, are available in its intelligent version, the EverneXt, This new flagship product is interfaced via HTTPS protocol with no need for API or driver installation, creating unprecedented flexibility and opening up a much wider range of use cases.
EverneXt is also available in Hybrid mode, which works with applications written for the Vision neXt and still using the Vision API - allowing for later upgrade to full EverneXt when the bank feels ready for the new opportunities it brings.
