Gerber Technology today introduced AccuScan, an automated, high-speed pattern digitizing system that eliminates the need to digitize patterns manually. This new scanning technology digitizes multiple patterns simultaneously and outputs AccuMark pattern pieces. AccuScan is typically 20-50 percent faster than manual digitizing, depending on the complexity of the pieces being digitized.

AccuScan scans pattern board, oak-tag or paper plots at accuracies within 1.5 mm providing a much higher level of accuracy over manual digitizing. The system automatically detects notches, grain lines, internal lines, drill holes and the part perimeter, ensuring that the patterns are digitized exactly as submitted by the pattern maker.

Easy to integrate into operations, AccuScan may be added to an existing AccuMark workstation or installed on a standalone PC without AccuMark software. The graphical user interface is straightforward and easy to use which dramatically reduces operator training when compared to manual digitizing.  The scanner control panel is just as easy to use with only a few buttons to learn.

G&M Services of Dallas, Texas, a grading and marking service provider to apparel and other sewn goods industries, conducted an in-depth evaluation of AccuScan and were impressed with the results they received. Gary Kay, Manager of G&M Service stated, “We believe Gerber’s AccuScan could easily replace manual digitizing.”

“AccuScan fulfills the need for quick, accurate digitizing required in demanding production environments,” said Ron Ellis, product manager, Plotter/Peripherals and Control Systems. “It is easy to learn and easy to use and is more ergonomic than manual digitizing. Customers will experience immediate improvements in productivity and a reduction in digitizing costs.”
