Digitalized data, actionable insights

The Digital Operations Logbooks is a cloud-based or on-premise system that digitalizes and manages crucial operational data. It replaces paper logbooks, aids shift handovers and provides real-time insights for efficient decision-making. The newly introduced Generative AI backed Small Language Model enables us to meet the challenge of summarizing the comments from digital logbooks in a way that mirrors human summaries. We are excited to partner with your organization and provide you with relevant information - both current and historical - to achieve and sustain high levels of efficiency and safety in your operations. Transform your company to the next level !

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 human as well as AI summarized comments, thereby eliminating unclear instructions, and 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 helps 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.

Location: Gujarat, India

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

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

Apart from the human generated comments, the new advanced, AI based concise digital summaries provide enhanced operational efficiency, ensuring easy access to critical information and overcoming the traditional challenges of paper logbooks and manual summarization.

  • Small Language Model leverages NLP and Generative AI technologies to summarize the comments from digital logbooks in a way that mirrors human summaries
  • 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

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.

• Apart from the human generated comments, the new advanced, Generative AI & NLP based concise digital summaries that mirror human comments, ensure timely access to critical information and helps in overcoming the traditional challenges of paper logbooks and manual summarization.
