Plustek SmartOffice SN8016U A3 Document Scanner

This is a departmental-class A3 document scanner built for high-volume batch scanning. It features a 100-sheet ADF, dual CIS sensors for simultaneous duplex scanning, and dual connectivity (USB and Ethernet). The trade-off is that it's a specialized piece of office equipment—large, heavy, and strictly for documents—but if you need to digitize stacks of paper quickly and reliably, it's a serious workhorse.
