From Paper to Productivity: Eliminate Data Silos on the Shop Floor

September 30, 2025 Sean Smith

According to the National Association of Manufacturers (NAM), approximately 70% of manufactuers still collect data manually and rely on paper forms. Disconnected systems and manual reporting ultimately results in slower production, higher risk of errors and limited decision making capabilities. 

Paper-based processes cause:

  • Delayed access to critical data
  • Risk of lost or incomplete forms
  • Increased data entry errors
  • Missed opportunities for process improvement
