The intelligent and rational utilisation of microfilm demands an inclusion of the storage medium microfilm in the general electronic information processing landscape. Thus, the medium microfilm has progressed from its original function of data security and space reduction medium, to being an active information storage and access medium.

With the aid of the microfiche, work flows can be organized more efficiently and costs can be reduced. Interconnecting microfilm into electronic
information processing demands that certain criteria be met. Many microfilm cameras
do not meet this demands. The codufidex art of Staude is a micro processor controlled camera meeting all the demands of EDP integration.
