Affordable, Easy-to-Use
Inbound Ballot Processing Solution
The Runbeck Agilis is an innovative inbound sorting solution that makes inbound ballot processing, quick,
easy and affordable. It handles all standard letters and flats and adheres to USPS automation standards for
the handling of mailing including thickness and rigidity requirements. The system can scan and extract
signature images for use in verification processes that depend on original voter signatures. It processes up
to 18,000 pieces per hour and can sort to any supplied routing information (e.g. precinct number). The
basic configuration starts with four bins with additional pockets available in banks of four.
Portable and Small
It plugs into any 110V outlet. The Agilis is surprisingly small for as much capability as it offers. Measuring just 5 ft long (plus pockets) by
3 ft wide, it is ideal for small counties with limited space. Roll it out of storage and into production - the Agilis
lets you automate jobs you’re manually sorting today and internalize jobs that are currently outsourced. You
now have an affordable, portable option to bring ballot sorting into your own secure facility.
Multiple Verification Options
Cameras on the Agilis capture the entire front side of the ballot envelope (up to approximately 10" X 10")
and extract the signature image in order to verify that each envelope has been signed by the registered
voter and received by the county. Each image can be archived for use by county personnel in on-site or
off-site verification processes. Questioned ballots, such as envelopes with no signature, are identified and
separated for manual review.
Signature verification can take place via these methods:
- Onsite/Offsite with the Runbeck Agilis. Using this approach, the extracted signature image is displayed on an
Agilis terminal screen and compared with the archived image.
- Automated Review & Compare. Using third-party software and processes the Agilis can be configured to
automatically compare and match extracted signature images against a valid archive source of voter
signatures.
