Published

on

Launches flagship and compact devices to renew the product lineup

SINGAPORE, Oct. 3, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — FUJIFILM Business Innovation Asia Pacific today announces the launch of three new devices*1 for the Apeos series- all of which are A3 digital colour multifunction printers with features that enhance integration with business solutions, further strengthening the 21-year leadership position in A3 Colour Laser multifunction printers across a total of 11 Asian markets*2.

The flagship Apeos C7071 series redefines the product lineup of A3 digital colour multifunction printers, while the Apeos C3567 series and Apeos C3061 series are compact devices for small and medium-sized businesses. These three devices are specially tailored according to customer applications and by this launch, FUJIFILM Business Innovation shows its commitment to support the digital transformation of offices.

All three devices support office DX by connecting information collected through scanning and printing with various cloud services, including document management and accounting systems. For example, linking with the company’s cloud service FUJIFILM IWpro*3 can improve operational efficiency in the following ways:

Enable automatic file naming and sorting when importing scanned or faxed data. This reduces the workload after digitisation, improving operational efficiency in a digital environment.Enable integration with other companies’ cloud services*4 in a workspace during the process of data creation, checking, processing, outputting, and transmitting information needed for business operations. This facilitates the smooth transfer and utilization of data between different systems.

【Main Features】

Apeos C7071 series:

This series*5 of multifunction printers will serve as a central machine in the office-acting as a hub for the execution of business operations. The lineup includes models*1 with printing speeds up to 70 pages per minute, including high- and mid-speed models such as the Apeos C7071*6, capable of high-speed scanning at 270 pages per minute with single-pass duplex auto scanning. It can smoothly convert paper documents into electronic format in a variety of office environments, regardless of the type of business.Mid- and low-speed models such as the Apeos C5571*7 are equipped with a scanner that can automatically scan multiple business cards or receipt-sized papers in succession, in addition to automatic single-pass duplex scanning at 160 pages per minute, enabling efficient in-house information sharing and expense processing tasks.Furthermore, the Apeos C7071 series*5 supports various post-processing steps such as staple-free staple*8, Z-fold half sheet*9 and Tri-fold*9 during output.

Apeos C3567 series and C3061 series:

The Apeos C3567*10 series and C3061 series*11 are multifunction printers designed for small and medium-sized businesses in pursuit of compactness.By redesigning the bypass tray and paper transport path, the width of the main unit has been reduced by 13 mm compared to previous series*12, resulting in a more compact machine that can be installed in small offices. Paper handling has also been enhanced, enabling the output of thin 52 gsm paper to thick 300 gsm paper, as well as long 297 x 1,200 mm paper*13 for in-house production of promotional materials.In addition, by adopting a new, industry-leading*14 low-temperature fusing toner, it has further reduced the fusing temperature by 15°C compared to toners used in previous series*12. The process of fusing toner to paper is the most power-consuming process in multifunction printers, but the use of a new toner and other features have reduced TEC values*15 and warm-up times*16. Furthermore, the shape and structure of parts have been reconsidered with future recycling in mind, with new product design introduced for easier disassembly, cleaning, and sorting, which will help address climate change and promote resource circulation.

Apeos C3567 series:

Apeos C3567 series features a 10.1-inch operation panel comparable to that of higher-end models*7 and a scanner offering 160-page-per-minute single-pass duplex scanning.Two applications for multifunction printers are installed as standard: Scan Delivery Light, which improves the efficiency of frequently used scanning operations, and Paperless Fax Delivery, designed for digitising, automatically sorting and forwarding documents received via fax*17. Furthermore, one-touch operation of the multifunction printer streamlines a range of tasks associated with digitising paper information, such as setting the scanning method, specifying the data storage location, and renaming files – thereby reducing the burden of digitisation. These applications broaden the use of digitised information and support the first step towards greater operational efficiency in small and medium-sized businesses.

Apeos C3061 series:

A compact device that can be flexibly configured to suit customer’s usage with a variety of tray configurations in addition to the basic functions of the multifunction printer.The Apeos C3061 series comes with the basic functions of copying, printing, and scanning, capable of supporting wide range of paper, even though the main unit has become smaller and lighter*18 compared to our previous series*12. The series allows customers to choose from a total of four tray configurations, from one-tray to four-tray. With the addition of the newly developed Finisher-A3, customers can have two-way output in the main unit. Therefore, customers can freely combine them to suit the location where the multifunction device is installed and the customer’s usage.

[Other Notable Features]

Common to all three devices of Apeos C7071 series, Apeos C3567 series, Apeos C3061 seriesCustomers can operate the device remotely by logging in to the Remote Operation Panel as the multifunction printer’s device administrator and displaying its operation screen on a computer. The device administrator can change the settings without having to go to the location where the multifunction printer is installed.FUJIFILM Business Innovation has acquired third-party certification under ISO/IEC 20243, including the new three devices, which is the supply chain security standard for ensuring product safety throughout the product lifecycle.

Apeos C7071 seriesSupports high-capacity paper feeding. The Apeos C7071 / C6571 / C5571 (Tandem Tray) / C4571 (Tandem Tray) can feed 3,200 sheets as standard and up to 5,200 sheets with the optional paper feed tray*19.

Lotus Wins for Groundbreaking Wearable Innovation Empowering Individuals with Disabilities at Vista Center’s Accessibility-Focused Startup Pitch Competition

Published

on

By

Vista Center for the Blind and Visually Impaired, a nonprofit supporting individuals with vision loss for over 75 years, recently held its inaugural Startup Pitch Competition to showcase innovations in the underserved accessibility area. Lotus won the competition with its wearable device, the Lotus Ring, which allows users to control home environments with simple point-and-click gestures. Founded by former Apple engineer Dhaval Patel, Lotus empowers individuals with disabilities. The company will present at Sight Tech Global in December 2024 and receive Harvard Business School Alumni Angels mentorship.

SAN JOSE, Calif., Oct. 3, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — Vista Center for the Blind and Visually Impaired successfully hosted its inaugural Pitch Competition, where over 15 startups showcased breakthrough innovations to enhance accessibility for visually impaired and disabled users. Lotus emerged as the competition winner for its pioneering wearable solution. Finalists Equivalent and Lighthouse Tech were also recognized for their innovative contributions, each demonstrating significant potential to drive change.

“Being recognized by the accessibility community reinforces our commitment to innovative technology,” said Dhaval Patel, CEO of Lotus. “The Lotus Ring has a profound impact on daily life, and we’re excited to continue pushing accessibility forward and make this product widely available.”

Leading the Charge in Accessibility Innovation

According to the CDC, one in four adults in the U.S. lives with a disability, driving a growing demand for innovative accessibility solutions. Vista Center’s event highlighted this urgent need in a market that often operates in isolation, showcasing cutting-edge technologies designed to enhance independence and improve the quality of life for individuals with disabilities. This event is part of Vista Center’s ongoing commitment to raising awareness and advancing assistive technologies that promote inclusion.

“We were truly inspired by the diverse range of cutting-edge solutions presented at our inaugural innovation event,” said Karae Lisle, CEO of Vista Center. “Discovering companies pushing the boundaries of accessibility technology gives us hope for a future where independence is accessible to all.”

About LOTUS (Event Winner):

Founded in 2021 by a team of experts from top tech companies such as Apple, Google, and Nest, Lotus is revolutionizing assistive technology with its groundbreaking Lotus Ring. This wearable device empowers individuals with limited mobility to control their home environment through simple point-and-click gestures, providing new levels of independence and ease. Its versatility also extends to individuals with vision impairments, offering an intuitive alternative to traditional home automation systems.

This groundbreaking technology earned Lotus a speaking engagement at Sight Tech Global 2024 and a pro bono HBS/MIT Advisor Mentoring Session sponsored by Harvard Business School Alumni Angels.

Developed using a combination of universal design and inclusive design, the Lotus Ring requires no rewiring or complex setup—users can snap the Lotus Switch Cover onto an existing wall switch and start using it immediately. This feature makes home automation affordable and accessible, eliminating the hassle of traditional smart home systems.

The inspiration for Lotus came from founder and CEO Dhaval Patel, who developed the idea after struggling with mobility. Following a night when he couldn’t easily turn off the lights while using crutches, Patel was driven to create technology that could benefit others facing similar challenges. “If I, as an Apple engineer, didn’t have accessible smart home tech, who else is struggling?” Patel asked himself. His experience laid the foundation for Lotus’ mission: to build technology that everybody can use by optimizing for disability first.

“Being recognized by the accessibility community reinforces our commitment to innovative technology,” said Dhaval Patel, CEO of Lotus. “The Lotus Ring has a profound impact on daily life, and we’re excited to continue pushing accessibility forward and make this product widely available.”

Vista Center’s Startup Pitch event is part of a broader initiative to promote innovation in accessibility technology.

“Our goal is to support companies creating technologies that improve independence for the visually impaired community. The recognition of Lotus is well-deserved, and we are excited to have them take the stage at our Sight Tech Global (STG) conference in December.”

Sight Tech Global, now in its fourth year, is a premier global virtual conference that brings together technology pioneers who are creating new approaches to barrier-free navigation, human interaction, and equitable access to information. Free for anyone to attend, STG advances technologies supporting accessibility.

About Vista Center for the Blind and Visually Impaired

With low-vision clinics in Palo Alto and San Jose, California, Vista Center provides essential support through various comprehensive rehabilitation programs and services. By fostering collaboration with technology companies. Vista Center continues to champion innovations that enhance the independence and quality of life for people with vision loss.
