Need better shift hand-overs? 


So many factories still use paper line log books, but these are difficult to share and don’t facilitate communications between teams. Use the Line Log Book software module to:


    

  • Replace paper line log books 
    • 

  • Improve visibility and communication 
    • 

  • Ensure all shift events are recorded, such as set up conditions, tool changes, material changes and process adjustments
    • 

  • Provide traceability with shift records being available to all on the plant
    • 



  


  
  


  

                    


					
 

					
											
										
    

  • All information is time-stamped and automatically related to the production run, product being made, process and equipment
    • 

  • Allow operatives to record comments and information at any time
    • 

  • Provide a readily available list of user-defined events to record: shift handovers comments, tool changes, cleaning, issues, etc.
    • 



					
    

  • Go paperless – no more paper distribution, collation and filing
    • 

  • Learn lessons – what were the difficult production runs – what were the issues?
    • 

  • Avoid mistakes – get easy access to the log book where all issues are recorded
    • 

  • Improve effectiveness –save operators’ time and make it easy for everyone to access and read the log
    •

    • 

  • Traceability – quickly trace issues on shifts in the production record 
    • 

  • Cost savings –  cut costs of filing and handling paper records
    •
