I have a Windows network (Win 2008 server) and would like to use a touch screen tablet...cont..?

I need to gather QC data on the production floor. On the users' standpoint, it would make it simple for them to use a touch screen device to gather data, perhaps running a menu selection generated by an Access database. I have hear a lot about Android applications, but I am unsure about compatibility with the Windows apps I already run. As it is now, the user is writing notes down on a paper tablet and keying the data in on the computer. Very inefficient. I am looking for ideas that might help to automate the data gathering process and the data will be processed to find trends in quality issues. The industry is in automotive, the company builds fiberglass truck bodies and interiors on cab chassis such as those used in RV and custom commercial market.|||I am not one to recommend; my skills at this are not that great, but it seems you have a plan well mapped out here. Stick with what you are familiar with. Use a wireless notepad...ASUS seems to have some reasonably priced ones that will work with Windows and should have a wireless adapter as well. Keep it simple.
