UNSHREDDERtm
Automated Document Reconstruction
Legitimately used, the paper shredder is indispensable to the modern office. In the wrong hands though, shredders conceal:
like nobody’s business. And neither management nor law enforcement can stop the shredding. That’s why we’ve created a new technology called Unshredder.
Born in 1996, Unshredder is already revolutionizing investigative research, much to the chagrin of shredder manufacturers. That’s too bad for them, but it’s great for the rest of us, particularly:
- Corporations
- Counterterrorists
- Document examiners
- Elected officials
- Intelligence agencies
- Law firms
- Police laboratories
- Private investigators
In short, Unshredder is for everyone.
It’s not locked in a back room of some secret facility. Its export is not restricted by the State Department. It’s available today.
So if you’re tired of using Scotch tape and want to learn more about making Unshredder work for you, check out...
The Document Reconstruction Process
Step 1: Collection
The fragments are collected and evaluated to determine their suitability for reconstruction and the level of effort required. Factors to consider include the number of pages, fragment size, and fragment type.
Step 2: Preparation
The fragments are laminated against a transparent surface, allowing both sides of the fragments to be scanned and processed by powerful computers.
Step 3: Reconstruction
The fragments are reassembled by proprietary computer software developed by Wakefield Integrated Technologies, Inc. The reconstruction is examined by trained personnel to ensure that the correct results have been obtained.
