Request: Scanning ActiveX control or java applet

I'm not sure where to post this, sorry of this is the wrong place.

We require storing many scanned documents with various records and transactions.  For example, when we build an assembly, there is a traveler and a checklist that needs to be filled out during the build process.  The checklist needs a wet signature so we must use a hard copy.  Once we are finished with the build, we scan the docs, save them somewhere on the disk, then add to the file cabinet and store them with the Assembly Build record via a custom document field. 

This is a slow and tedious process.
