ElarScan Presented at IFLA WLIC 2025 in Astana

ElarScan scanners were showcased at the 89th International Federation of Library Associations and Institutions World Library and Information Congress (IFLA WLIC 2025), held in Astana, Kazakhstan, from August 18 to 22.

IFLA WLIC is the world’s largest international event in the library and information sector, bringing together professionals from across the globe. The congress serves as a key platform for presenting cutting-edge library technologies and exchanging professional expertise.

ElarScan was presented as a modern, innovative scanning solution offering advanced capabilities for non-contact digitization with maximum detail preservation of historical archives, rare artifacts, manuscripts, antique books, and other originals — including large-format materials. This approach ensures the safety of fragile originals while enabling the creation of high-quality digital collections.

ElarScan scanners are equipped with a high-resolution camera, delivering optical resolution from 400 to 1000 dpi. The special UltraHQ mode (400 MP) generates master files with exceptional detail, compliant with international imaging standards including ISO 19264-1, FADGI, and Metamorfoze. Thanks to FreeFrame technology, up to 20 individual images can be captured in a single scan, significantly increasing efficiency. The built-in Anti-Glare function effectively eliminates reflections and overexposure on glossy or reflective surfaces.

Notably, ElarScan scanners operate as a standalone system. Pre-installed SDI-basic software allows images to be saved directly to internal storage, USB drives, or over Gigabit Ethernet to a network. For professional, high-volume digitization projects, the advanced SDI-full software suite provides extended functionality and workflow automation.

Thus, ElarScan took a prominent place among the key solutions presented at IFLA WLIC 2025, attracting well-deserved interest from library professionals and cultural heritage experts from around the world.
