Kodak Alaris

Kodak Alaris is a company that builds hardware and software to help organizations turn physical documents into usable digital data. Their main AI offering is the KODAK Info Input Solution, an intelligent document processing (IDP) platform that uses machine learning to read, classify, and extract information from invoices, forms, contracts, and other paperwork. Beyond the software, Kodak Alaris also manufactures a range of document scanners, from desktop models to high-speed production units, all designed to feed data into their capture pipeline.

What makes this setup interesting is how the AI extraction ties directly into scanning hardware. You load a stack of mixed documents into a KODAK scanner, and the Info Input software automatically identifies document types, pulls out key fields, and routes the data into your existing systems — no manual sorting or data entry needed. The company also offers professional services to customize workflows for specific industries like healthcare, government, and legal. The scanners themselves are built for heavy use, with features like unlimited document lengths and rugged construction.

This is a good fit for any organization that still handles a significant volume of paper — think accounts payable departments processing invoices, hospitals digitizing patient records, or government agencies managing forms. It's not a consumer app; it's a business tool that requires hardware investment and setup. But if your office is drowning in paper, Kodak Alaris gives you an AI-assisted way to swim back up.
