JAKARTA The demand for scanner devices is increasing in various industrial sectors, ranging from health, education, to government. This cannot be separated from the acceleration of digital transformation which demands efficiency, security, and convenience in document management.

PFU Asia Pacific President and CEO Pte. Ltd., Mitsuo Kubota, explained that the need for digitalization in various sectors is increasingly urgent. One of the main tools that support this process is the scanner.

"In the health sector, scanners are used to manage digital medical records safely and quickly," said Mitsuo, when met in the Menteng area, Central Jakarta on Tuesday, July 29, 2025.

Not only health, but the world of education is also encouraged to take advantage of scanner technology.

"In the education sector, scanners are used to convert physical documents into digital formats for easy access and management," he said.

In addition, digitalization is also the focus of the banking sector. Mitsuo said the banking sector needed a scanner to accelerate document digitization and increase customer service efficiency. Meanwhile, in the government sector, the use of scanners continues to increase in order to support transparency and administrative acceleration.

"The government is starting to adopt scanner technology to accelerate the administrative process and increase document transparency," he said.

Mitsuo also highlighted the increasingly competitive dynamics of the industry.

"The scanner industry faces stiff competition, so product innovation is very important to remain relevant in the global market," he explained.

"Innovation is also needed to answer the growing need for digitalization in various sectors," he added.

He added that the opportunity for digitalization in Indonesia is very large.

"Increasing the need for digitization opens up great opportunities for the scanner industry to grow rapidly," he continued.

One of the important achievements that PFU Asia Pacific has just achieved is the success of the RICOH image scanner in obtaining Domestic Component Level (TKDN) certification in Indonesia. This certification indicates that their products have met the local content requirements set by the Indonesian government.

"Getting TKDN certification is certainly an important milestone for us in strengthening our presence in the Indonesian market," said Mitsuo.

The TKDN certification includes 12 RICOH image scanner models, namely fi-7460, fi-7600, fi-700, fi-8150, fi-8250, fi-8170, fi-8270, fi-8190, fi-8290, fi-800R, and ScanSnap iX2500 and iX1300.

PFU Asia Pacific Pte. Ltd., a subsidiary of PFU Limited, is committed to continuing to support technology growth in Indonesia through strategic partnerships and world-class imaging solutions.

With the presence of an RICOH image scanner, the company offers cutting-edge solutions in various categories, ranging from work group scanners, departments, to production and networks. These products are not only superior in image speed and quality, but also in easy integration with various document applications.

Digital transformation that continues to grow opens up great opportunities for scanner technology to be an important part of increasing efficiency and cross-sectoral productivity in Indonesia.
