How-to use - Autostore Knowledge Package Builder

The Knowledge Package Builder (KPB) is designed to significantly enhance workflow efficiency within AutoStore environments. Key features include the ability to distribute and parallelize tasks across multiple servers, which is particularly useful for CPU-intensive operations such as Optical Character Recognition (OCR). Instead of processing all incoming scan tasks sequentially—which can create frustrating bottlenecks when a large job holds up smaller ones—the KPB splits workloads so multiple tasks can be processed in parallel. This is achieved by routing scan jobs to different shared folders monitored by several processes; for example, small and large jobs can be handled simultaneously without one delaying the other. The builder is highly configurable, allowing routing based on user input (such as whether OCR is required), and supports flexible integrations with various destinations and additional processes like barcode or watermark addition.

By leveraging the Knowledge Package Builder, organizations can dramatically reduce processing times for document workflows, resulting in faster turnaround and improved user satisfaction. This parallelized approach eliminates bottlenecks and ensures that even small, quick jobs are not delayed by larger, more complex ones. Businesses benefit from optimal server utilization, increased throughput, and the agility to customize workflows for different document processing needs (e.g., OCR, email distribution, further integrations). Ultimately, this leads to higher productivity, more efficient use of IT resources, and greater adaptability to evolving document management requirements.
