The business cases have been presented by two Anoto Digital pen users at Anoto Consortium meeting which has been held on May 27th in Tokyo Japan.
  

The one speaker is West Nippon Expressway Company Limited, that constructs and maintains whole expressway in west Japan. One year has passed since they adopted Anoto Digital Pen in order to maintain and inspect the lighting illumination in all tunnels and expressway. Previously field workers used to be required to see, touch and check the lighting illumination one by one, and fill in the paper form. A decisive factor to adopt Anoto Digital Pen was "paper", which enables them to keep an existing way of maintenance work. Also even if something wrong has happened with a pen, the data can be secured in paper. As handwritten data can be automatically digitized and uploaded to the database, consequently they reduced 600 hours per year for data-input.

Another case was introduced by Sumisho Inax Corporation. They have the largest market share in Japan of laundry machines which is used by dry-cleaners shops. Their field engineers use DP&P to write the maintenance report of machine when they visit customers (i.e. dry-cleaners shops). Previously they had to re-input handwritten data after they go back to the office. But now the data stored in a digital pen can be immediately sent to internal system via USB, and also additional written data written in a same form is also uploaded without mixup. 

"We succeeded in curtailing 15 minutes per day for data-input, that is worthy of 10 million yen per year. Additionally, their maintenance activities reported from all branches all over the country can be easily seen on the system by management people of headquarters.", says Mr. Nakao, Sumisho Inax.
