Quality Data Entry with Paper Forms and Scanning

There doesn’t exist any other economical alternative to enter quality data than paper and scanning. Typical applications are inspection charts filled out by the machine operator or notifications of machine break downs with duration and cause for monitoring the machine availability.
Up to now paper forms were practised by using the classical OMR technique (optical mark reader). This kind of data entering has a lot of disadvantages and is mostly out of use.
