Central execution, on-site digitisation and a hybrid model can exist alongside one another.
On site
On-site digitisation, work in your own scanning environment, or a hybrid model
Not every trajectory needs to be handled fully off site. Sometimes working on site is the most logical choice, for example because of logistics, fragility, privacy or the immediate availability of material. In other situations, an organisation wants to make better use of its existing scanners and staff. 2dA supports both.

When this is logical
Close to the collection and everyday users
Working on site is especially relevant when material cannot easily be moved or when an organisation deliberately chooses to work close to its own collection.
Own scanning environment
Strengthen rather than replace
2dA can also support process design, quality control, metadata, exceptions and further development inside an existing client environment.
The choice of operating model also determines privacy, quality, speed and scalability.
A local environment can later grow into bulk digitisation, scanning on demand, metadata enrichment or AI support.
In practice
The right operating model makes the whole trajectory calmer
2dA does not only bring equipment or production capacity, but above all structure. That is reflected in scanning instructions, quality control, exception routes, naming, metadata and the connection to follow-on processes.
Why this works
A client environment only becomes strong when quality and workflow mature with it
That is how a local scanning environment grows into a mature service instead of remaining a loose process step.
Three operating models that can coexist
- central execution in 2dA's scanning lines
- on-site digitisation at the client's location
- hybrid models with in-house scanners and support from 2dA
Also relevant for scanning on demand
A scanning-on-demand service often works best when it stays close to the collection and the daily user context. Especially for clients with their own scanner fleet or an existing request flow, this is a strong route.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions about on-site digitisation
When is on site better?
When logistics, fragility, privacy or immediate availability require execution in the organisation's own environment.
Can 2dA also support only part of the work?
Yes. 2dA can also provide process design, quality control, metadata and specialist support inside your own scanning environment.
