TheINDUS WAYhas been deeply rooted over the past 27 years of business and is engrained in the way we operate on a day-to-day basis. A creed of unmatched customer service has led to unparallel customer loyalty and satisfaction. A privately held business since 1985, Indus has its roots entrenched in the micrographics industry. Dating back to the 1960's and earlier the facility that Indus presently occupies was previously operated by NCR which headed their micrographics division out of the West Salem, WI location.
During the 1970's early 1980's the micrographics industry thrived and NCR flourished. However, in 1985, NCR decided to exit the micrographics industry and close their West Salem, Wisconsin plant. Twenty-five jobs were retained because of the establishment of a new company,Indus International, Inc.whose founder and President is Ameen Ayoob. Indus International, Inc. is a Minority Owned business as certified by the State of Wisconsin and is classified as a Small Business as defined by the U.S. Department of Commerce.

Advanced Automatic Microfiche Scanner
The Technology
Fully Automatic Digitization
Many microfilm archives encompass very large quantities of individual microfiches. With the fully automatic digitization technology of the DRS DIGITIZER, they can be recorded problem-free and saved as a file. Every file can be edited, digitally archived, and analyzed with an image processing program.
CCD Full Frame Chip Technology
Unlike other conventional systems, the DRS DIGITIZER uses a high-resolution CCD full frame chip camera in order to create an image with up to 256 grayscales. Optimal illumination occurs via a non-wearing LED lighting technology specially designed for DRS. Every document on a microfilm is automatically recorded and digitized with high quality. Even sophisticated originals are perfectly readable.
Gentle Feed System
The antistatic repository contains several hundred microfiches in all prevalent sizes. By means of a pneumatic feed system developed by us, the originals are transported to the light table with the utmost care. Even electrostatically charged fiche and jackets are reliably separated by an air current.
Powerful Software
The image recognition and processing software of the DRS DIGITIZER determine the precise position of every individual document on the microfiche. Every document is individually surveyed, aligned and cropped. The image file can be stored for processing in different file formats according to the customer's desire.
