How this helps your operations
The digital operations logbooks minimises time lost in data entry due to manual updation, and removes communication deficiencies during shift handovers. It increases accuracy by providing real-time data and eliminating unclear instructions, thus reducing operational risks. It also helps in accelerating and fine-tuning planning and decision-making, with precise and centralised shared knowledge. The digital logbooks replicate the offline activities like shift handover, checklists, comments, instructions, etc. in the digital form and give a clear edge to the panel and field operators to manage their day-to-day work. Digital is not just about moving away from paper, instead it gives valuable insights into the plant operations and help to make quick decisions.
Industrial project
Read on to understand how our digital operations logbooks is seamlessly integrated into our client's existing systems and processes, to enhance efficiency.
Logbooks installed at a leading refinery
The project comprised of around 100 logbooks configured and implemented on more than 60 hand-held devices. The solutions was Integrated with client’s existing Historian & other MES systems, covering around 15 units. Both manual & automated data capture was implemented.
Core features
Digital Operations Logbooks provides a consolidated platform with specific features and sub-features for managing the logbooks of the entire plant.
The digital operations logbooks collect, store, visualize, and analyze process information while allowing seamless integration with Interlock Bypass and Safe Limits Db.
- Secure role-based management of logbooks with flexible layout, auto-filled logsheets and versioning, sharing and approval capabilities
- Summarization of information for the shift or day
- Generation of operator attendance report and comparison of logsheets, with deviation reports
These logbooks collect data from DCS, LIMS, EMS, TMS (Tank Farm Management System), SAP ( through RFCs) and provide data analytics, trends, dashboards, report and notifications.
- Connects to control systems and provide real-time visibility and trend of equipment operating data to operators
- Automatic synchronization of data from field logbook into Historian for immediate reference
- Optional auto-filling of log sheets for reviews, validations and updates
The logbooks review key points and minimize communication errors while carrying out effective and safe shift handovers.
- Tracking of handover timestamps and outgoing and incoming operator information
- Capture of relevant information by the operator such as handover comments and log-sheet review status
- Approval workflow from operator to Shift engineer / In-charge
- Option for Shift-in-charge to reject a logbook with relevant comments
The digital operations logbooks ensure delegation of operational instructions to respective teams.
- Handles both temporary and permanent instructions
- Engineers/Managers can pass instructions to the operators and operators can acknowledge
- Tracks instructions until completion
These logbooks can be accessed and viewed from anywhere in the plant and from the headquarters. The digital logbooks facilitate quick search of data, events and activities.
- Operator can enter notes or comments against specific assets
- Simple, quick and easy management of comments at all levels with notifications and alerts
- Quick Search of comments by operator name, by asset name, by unit (between selected dates)
- Discussion style threads for effective response to the comments
The data analytics capability of the digital operations logbooks helps you to analyze the data and gain meaningful insights for optimized operations.
- Realtime visibility of data, availability of historical data for analysis
- Self-configurable SmarTrend views
- Visualisation of critical information through charts and dashboards, notifications and reports
How it works
• One of the key components of the digitization journey is data capture through the Digital Operations Logbooks.
• Data capture can be done in online, offline, or auto mode, as the situation demands.
• This data integrates with feeds from sources like DCS, Historian, SAP, LIMS, and MES, making it comprehensive and accurate for further analysis.
• The solution captures logsheet data, comments, instructions, activity details, critical information, and shift details. It also compares logsheets for scenario analysis.
• Additionally, it provides hourly, shift-wise, and daily summary views for different levels of stakeholders, highlighting trends, deviations, and anomalies with easily understandable reports, graphs, and charts.
