The old shop I worked at in Toledo still used paper tool lists, but the new place has everything on tablets
That was five years ago, and the switch happened about two years after I left. The owner told me they went digital because they kept losing sheets and ordering the wrong inserts. Now the setup sheet and tool list pop up right on the machine's screen. Has anyone else's shop made a jump like that, and did it actually cut down on mistakes?

Absolutely, and @parkera61 is right, our switch to tablets finally stopped those coffee-stained blueprint disasters.

Our floor in Dayton went from those big three-ring binder books to QR codes on each machine about three years back. Guys would scan the code with a shop tablet and pull up the current setup sheet and tool list. It cut our tooling mistakes by half, easy. The old books always had pages stuck together or coffee spills on the critical dimensions. What was the biggest headache your old paper system caused?
