Microfiche

Microfiche

Here is a technology that’s stood the test of time. It’s still considered as a cost effective alternative for the distribution and archiving of report data. Zytron utilizes eight Datagraphix Mini Autocoms. Most all of our microfiche jobs are copied to our network and processed as online jobs. This is accomplished with Zytron proprietary software. Once input to the network job control is turned over to our software. This affords our clients significant flexibility in both input and output format. Once Zytron’s software has identified the job based on preset criteria it:

Feature:	Benefit:
Looks up copy and distribution instructions.	Clients need not prepare work orders.
Determines if reformatting of data is required and responds accordingly	Eliminates the need for second pass to create special ‘fiche tape’.
Creates labels for all jobs	Makes fiche distribution easier.
Allows for distributive billing	Allows management to charge back for service.
Sends the fiche report to an available camera, eliminating operator intervention.	Reduced cost and improved turnaround.

Zytron is always ready to run a test file for prospective clients so they can see the advantages first hand. Please see our page on data acquisition for a discussion on the flexibility we offer you on input media.
