FREDERICK, Md., Feb. 8, 2021 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- The Crowley Company (Crowley) announces that Image Quality Specialist and Senior Field Engineer Corin Van de Griek has received special recognition from production document scanner manufacturer InoTec GmbH Organisationssysteme (InoTec). The award – a surprise delivery from Germany – came in the form of an engraved plaque and was in honor of Van de Grieks' efforts to help the manufacturer achieve image quality in line with the Federal Agencies Digital Guidelines Initiative (FADGI).
According to Gerhard Weinfurtner, InoTec international sales manager, "This is not an award that we give annually, but a special presentation that we hope expresses our appreciation and gratitude to Corin for his extraordinary efforts in helping us to achieve a three-star FADGI standard for our scanners. This rating is not yet very common in our scanner segment and reinforces the use of InoTec document scanners for the capture of cultural heritage archives as well as for its more standard high-volume records capture." He continues, "Corin's deep technical knowledge, ideas and continuous intensive efforts were critical in helping to lift InoTec scanners to the next quality level. This award is intended for extraordinary achievements from partner companies or their employees to push forward our common goals in an outstanding way."
Patrick Crowley, president of The Crowley Company, notes that this award reinforces the partnership that Crowley has with its manufacturers as a distributor. "With each of our international partners – InoTec, Zeutschel, Qidenus and others – we strive to be a part of their research and development process. As the 'feet on the ground' with scanner end-users, our ability to effectively convey what is needed from the field can often lead to next steps in scanner technology. As a scanner manufacturer ourselves [Crowley, Mekel Technology and Wicks and Wilson brands], we're fortunate to have expertise on staff that complements our partners and vice versa. The example of Corin working together with InoTec to successfully achieve the meeting of a new imaging guideline is just one of many. The fact that InoTec created an award to specifically honor Corin's efforts underscores the deep mutual respect we have for each other."
