| To guarantee the thorough execution of crucial manual processes, UniversalDialoger provides user-friendly interfaces for tracking tasks like cleaning, thermal treatment, and repair measures, among other carrier-specific preparatory actions. This ensures that carriers are optimally prepared for digitization, and all undertaken steps are comprehensively recorded. |
UniversalDialoger is designed to eliminate confusion between the existing descriptive metadata and the actual content of a carrier by validating the two against each other. This can be done using either pre-existing information (for instance, from an existing database) or data generated at the start of a digitization workflow. Such information is then utilized at several key stages throughout the process to ensure consistency and accuracy. | Attaching an optical scanner to UniversalDialoger enables the creation of multi-page PDFs from scans of the carrier, its container, and accompanying documents. This information is crucial for the later, in-depth annotation of content in Archive or Media Asset Management (AAM/MAM) systems, where all gathered information is used to create the final archival asset. |
actLINE product family
UniversalDialoger is a vital component of actLINE, the family of highly specialized processors and interfaces that power all the workflows in NOA systems...
jobDB framework
As part of an industrial digitization facility based on jobDB, UniversalDialoger provides the base for versatile applications and operations, able to easily adapt to individual workflows.
mediARC framework
UniversalDialoger is irreplacable when it comes to managing manual user tasks in large digitization projects or day-to-day vault management tasks...
UniversalDialoger, like all NOA solutions, is designed to run on commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) hardware and to operate seamlessly on standard Windows operating systems. This approach guarantees that the hardware underlying NOA's solutions is not only easily maintainable and accessible but also highly reliable, offering users peace of mind with its long-term stability and dependability.
For optimal operation, NOA provides:
As a client application, UniversalDialoger operates under a per-workstation licensing model. Within an industrial digitization facility, conducting a precise analysis of necessary work steps is crucial for determining the anticipated job throughput and the corresponding time requirements each day. This analysis enables the precise specification of the required number of workstations for the project, ensuring seamless operations and the elimination of production bottlenecks.
