Forgital FMDL — automatic report reading with neural networks

Inspection reports were received in printed form and then re-keyed manually into the information system.

Re-keying consumed time and introduced transcription errors on quality control documents, where accuracy is not negotiable.

Automatic report reading algorithm based on convolutional neural networks.

A convolutional neural network reads the inspection reports automatically and feeds data entry, removing the manual transcription step.

The processing flow for control documents is shortened as a result.
