The reality of paperless manufacturing: Why are 70% of companies halfway there?

A survey of 96 manufacturing companies revealed that about 70% of the manufacturing industry is "currently working on or considering" digitalization, explaining the facts and breakthroughs.

In a survey conducted by our company in 2025 involving 96 manufacturing companies, only about 30% reported having completed their digitization, while approximately 70% were either "in progress" or "under consideration." Why is digitization progressing so slowly? The main reasons include constraints unique to the manufacturing industry, such as "drawings are easier to read on paper" and "clients require paper documentation." However, there is a solution. It is a hybrid approach of "keeping paper while digitizing for storage." This guide provides detailed examples of achieving the digitization of 13,000 documents per month without changing on-site operations, as well as methods for achieving "zero manual work" digitization through the use of QR codes. *For more details, please download the catalog or feel free to contact us.*
