of data capture is collecting information from paper documents and saving it into databases (CMS, ECM, and other systems). There are several types of basic technologies used for data capture according to the data type: OCR – for printed text recognition ICR – for hand-printed text recognition OMR – for marks recognition OBR – for barcodes recognition BCR – for bar code recognition DLR – for document layer recognition These basic technologies allow extracting information from paper documents for further processing in the enterprise information systems such as ERP, CRM, and others. The documents for data capture can be divided into 3 groups: structured, semi-structured, and unstructured. Structured documents (questionnaires, tests, insurance forms, tax returns, ballots, etc.) have completely the same structure and appearance. It is the easiest type for data capture because every data field is located at the same place for all documents. Semi-structured documents (invoices, purchase orders, waybills, etc.) have the same structure, but their appearance depends on several items and other parameters. Capturing data from these documents is a complex, but solvable task. Unstructured documents (letters, contracts, articles, etc.) could be flexible with structure and appearance. The Internet and the future Advocates for the growth of AIDC systems argue that AIDC has the potential to greatly increase industrial efficiency and general quality of life. If widely implemented, the technology could reduce or eliminate counterfeiting, theft, and product waste, while improving the efficiency of supply chains. However, others have voiced criticisms of the potential expansion of AIDC systems into everyday life, citing concerns over personal privacy, consent, and security. The global association Auto-ID Labs was founded in 1999 and is made up of 100 of the largest companies in the world such as Walmart, Coca-Cola, Gillette, Johnson & Johnson, Pfizer, Procter & Gamble, Unilever, UPS, companies working in the sector of technology such as SAP, Alien, Sun as well as five academic research centers. These are based at the following Universities; Massachusetts Institute of Technology in the USA, the University of Cambridge in the UK, the University of Adelaide in Australia, Keio University in Japan, and ETH Zurich, as well as the University of St. Gallen in Switzerland. The Auto-ID Labs suggests a concept of a future supply chain that is based on the Internet of objects, i.e., a global application of RFID. They try to harmonize technology, processes, and organization. Research is focused on miniaturization (aiming
