Case Studies
Objective: Efficiently automate the storage and retrieval of documents, ensuring accuracy and speed for educational institutions.
Introduction: A prominent institution in the academic landscape sought to revolutionize its document management. Specializing in offering diverse courses, the university faced a daunting challenge in accurately and swiftly retrieving a large volume of documents scattered across locations. As the demand for efficient processes increased, the need for a sophisticated solution became evident. This drove the implementation of VStore, a customized Automated Vertical Storage Solution, aiming to automate storage and retrieval processes seamlessly, ensuring precision and speed.
Problem Statement:
Vast Volume Challenge: Retrieving answer sheets accurately and rapidly from a colossal pool of over 60 lakhs stored across diverse locations posed a significant operational challenge.
Timeliness and Accuracy: The existing methods struggled to meet the stringent timelines for retrieval, impacting the speed and accuracy required for efficient evaluation processes.
Complex Tracking: Tracking answer sheets manually across multiple locations proved complex and time-consuming, hampering the overall efficiency of the evaluation workflow.
Operational Inefficiencies: Manual retrieval methods were prone to errors, leading to operational inefficiencies and potential delays in the evaluation and result declaration.
Solution:
To tackle these challenges, the institution deployed VStore, a comprehensive Automated Vertical Storage Solution:
38 Integrated Systems: Integration of 38 automated vertical storage solutions through a unified interface, ensuring centralized and efficient document management.
Rapid Retrieval Time: VStore guarantees the accurate retrieval of an answer sheet within 1 minute from the entire network of storage systems, optimizing evaluation timelines.
Barcode Integration: Seamless integration with barcodes streamlines tracking, reducing errors and enhancing accuracy in the retrieval process.
Virtual and Physical Integration: VStore seamlessly integrates virtual and physical storage, enabling easy store, search, view, and retrieval of documents with a single click.
Secure Storage Environment: The system ensures a completely dust-free, fire-retardant, and leak-proof environment, preserving the integrity of answer sheets.
