OPEX Velo Series: A Strategic Bid to Redefine Document Scanning

MOORESTOWN, NJ – February 10, 2026 – OPEX Corporation, a global name in automation, has made a significant move to broaden its market footprint with the launch of the Velo™ Series, a new family of premium document scanners. Powered by technology from the renowned German manufacturer InoTec, the Velo Series marks a strategic expansion of OPEX's portfolio, aiming to provide solutions ranging from compact desktop units to high-volume production workhorses.

This launch positions OPEX to compete more aggressively across the entire document imaging landscape, offering what the company describes as exceptional performance, reliability, and image quality. With industry-standard TWAIN/ISIS connectivity, the Velo scanners are designed for seamless integration into the existing, complex IT ecosystems of service bureaus, government agencies, healthcare providers, and large enterprises.

“The Velo Series powered by InoTec introduces an entirely new class of scanners to the OPEX portfolio, expanding the options available to both our current customers and organizations considering OPEX for the first time,” said Dann Worrell, President of Document and Mail Automation at OPEX. “By broadening our offerings, we can better align the right solution with each client’s unique requirements.”

Expanding into a Competitive Arena

The document scanner market is a dynamic and highly competitive field, projected to grow to USD 5.7 billion by 2034. It is currently dominated by established players like Kodak Alaris, Fujitsu (now part of Ricoh Company, Ltd.), and Canon, all of whom have deep roots in imaging technology. OPEX's introduction of the Velo Series is a calculated maneuver to challenge this status quo by leveraging a partnership to fill out its product line and appeal to a wider customer base.

Market trends show a relentless push towards digital transformation, with organizations across all sectors digitizing records to enhance efficiency, support remote work, and comply with stringent regulations. The demand is no longer just for speed, but for intelligent, reliable, and secure capture solutions that integrate smoothly with cloud services and AI-driven data extraction platforms. OPEX’s new series appears engineered to meet these modern demands head-on, moving beyond its traditional high-end automation niche to offer scalable solutions for varying operational sizes.

German Engineering Meets Automation Leadership

The strategic partnership with Germany-based DATAWIN GmbH, the manufacturer of InoTec scanners, is a cornerstone of the Velo Series launch. InoTec has carved out a global reputation for building exceptionally robust and reliable scanners designed for continuous, high-throughput operation. Their emphasis on precision engineering, durable components, and superior image processing provides a powerful foundation for the Velo line.

By incorporating InoTec technology, OPEX is not just rebranding hardware; it is integrating a proven platform known for its longevity and performance in the most demanding environments. This infusion of German engineering is a critical selling point, promising maximum uptime and consistent image quality, which are non-negotiable requirements for organizations processing millions of documents annually. The partnership allows OPEX to confidently offer a product that stands up to the rigors of 24/7, multi-shift production scanning.

A Trio of Scanners for Every Scale

The Velo Series is not a one-size-fits-all solution. It comprises three distinct models, each tailored to a specific segment of the document capture market.

• OPEX Velo 3120: This model brings production-class reliability to the desktop. With a scan speed of 120 pages per minute (ppm) and a 500-sheet feeder, it is designed for mid-volume environments that require consistent throughput without the footprint of a larger production machine. Its unlimited daily duty cycle makes it a workhorse for departments in finance, healthcare, and government that need to digitize documents continuously throughout the day.

• OPEX Velo 6000 Series: Engineered for endurance and scalability, this series offers models with speeds up to 250 ppm and a 750-sheet feeder. Its continuous-duty design is built for long production days and demanding workloads. A key feature is its advanced media handling, which allows operators to process everything from fragile, historical records to heavy cardstock with confidence. Optional upgrades, such as four-tray sorting, enable organizations to expand the scanner's functionality as their business needs evolve.

• OPEX Velo 8000 Series: At the top of the line, the 8000 Series is built for nonstop, high-volume enterprise production. Designed for the most demanding 24/7 environments, it features dual 1,000-sheet feeders, automated output handling, and a high-speed stacker arm to keep documents orderly even at extreme throughput levels. With advanced onboard image processing and active sorting capabilities, this series is aimed squarely at large service bureaus and enterprise mailrooms where maximum uptime and document compliance are critical.

Addressing High-Stakes Industry Needs

The target markets for the Velo Series—service bureaus, government, and healthcare—face immense pressure to manage paper-based information efficiently and securely. The features across the Velo line directly address their specific pain points.

For healthcare providers, digitizing patient records requires scanners that can handle diverse paper types while ensuring pristine image quality for accurate integration into Electronic Health Record (EHR) systems, all while maintaining HIPAA compliance. In the government sector, agencies must digitize vast archives and daily paperwork in accordance with strict record-keeping standards like FADGI. The reliability and audit-readiness features of the Velo Series are designed to meet these stringent requirements.

Service bureaus, which live and die by their throughput and reliability, can leverage the speed and robust paper handling of the Velo 6000 and 8000 Series to process mixed-batch jobs from multiple clients without costly interruptions. The simplified TWAIN/ISIS integration across all models ensures that these powerful machines can be deployed into existing workflows with minimal disruption.

“OPEX is now uniquely positioned to offer the right scanning solution for every organization, regardless of workflow, volume or operational requirements,” stated Scott Maurer, President of OPEX’s International Division. “Whether customers are looking for a one-touch approach, or traditional prep-and-scan, we can match the appropriate technology to the job. And with multiple options available, we’re able to ensure each organization has a solution that fits today’s needs, while ready and able to scale to meet the needs of tomorrow.”
