Abstract
Eliminating the paperwork not only saves trees, but also saves money. The accuracy of the shop floor data will increase, allowing you to make better business decisions. Quality will go up because the correct documentation will always be where it needs to be and extensive data analysis can be easily done to look for defect trends and trouble spots. Productivity will increase because the tools to perform an operation are delivered right to the operator. Whether it is assembly prints, test procedures, data sheets, or material flow, information is power
