Hi Maciej,
What are your expectations/requirements in terms of daily throughput?
I would always take the promises of automated book scanner manufacturers
with a pinch of salt. In my experience, their figures are based on very
small sample sizes, and when it comes to real world projects, the
numbers you can realistically expect are significantly lower.
I would also invite a member of your conservation team with you when
reviewing potential machines - if only to keep them in the loop.
I have always favoured multiple (significantly cheaper) manual machines
over single automated ones. We've had several projects with more than a
million pages, and I find it's easier to manage the work and hit
production targets when the risk is spread over multiple machines.
