Transform aging aperture cards into network accessible files
Microsystems brings decades of aperture card scanning experience, just as with microfilm and microfiche scanning.
We perform high-resolution scanning of your engineering drawings into either Tiff or PDF formats. We ensure precise filenames or generate multiple profiles by extracting information from the title block details.
The process of aperture card scanning
Upon receiving your aperture cards, we will ready them, conduct the scanning process, and transform your film into PDF, TIFF, or JPEG formats. Subsequently, we will transfer these images to the most appropriate media or through FTP, making them ready for uploading into your server environment.
Advantages of aperture card scanning
When your engineering drawings solely exist on aperture cards, there’s a risk of cards being lost, misplaced, or damaged by water or fire. Retrieving drawings becomes a laborious, entirely manual task. By entrusting Microsystems with the scanning of your aperture cards, you will enjoy the following advantages:
- Instant network accessibility of all drawings stored on aperture cards for all users.
- Assurance of disaster prevention and business continuity.
- Elimination of the need to maintain an aging aperture card reader-printer.
- Reclamation of office space occupied by reader printers and aperture card cabinets.

Microsystems possesses high-speed equipment and skilled operators to swiftly establish your digital archive. We are equipped to manage all your scanning needs, including microfilm, microfiche, paper documents, and engineering drawings/plans.
