Digital Shift Log
ShiftLog lets you control operations directly at the machine and record every entry live: from shift start through setup and production to downtime, with shift reports and batch reports at the push of a button.
Optimize your production documentation
ShiftLog replaces handwritten notes and paperwork on the line with a touch application that combines instructions, operation and data capture.
Is your production facing these challenges too?
Is your shift log still kept on paper and typed up later? Handwritten notes take time, get lost and are hard to evaluate. By the time the figures are in the system, the next shift has long since started.
Do you always know which line is running which order, how far along it is and when it will be finished? Without live data, delivery date estimates depend on asking around in the plant rather than on actual progress.
Are downtimes, setup times and quality notes only partly recorded? Then you are missing exactly the data you need to identify and eliminate recurring faults. And evidence for customers and auditors has to be pieced together after the fact.
Would you like to digitize your production but worry about complicated operation at the machine, long training or a system that creates extra work for your staff? And are you looking for a solution that reflects how work really happens on the line instead of just asking for data?
Processes at a glance
Shift and order start
The shift starts right at the machine, without detours via paper or the office:
- Trigger shift start and order start on the line
- Manage several sites in one application
- Login per employee, interface in their language
Operator guidance and work steps
The system shows what needs to be done and documents every step with the time spent:
- Standard process with cleaning, setup, production, downtime and completion
- Suitable actions are offered for each step
- Critical steps secured by barcode scan or shift supervisor confirmation
Process setting card and actual values
The dashboard also serves as the digital process setting card for the machine:
- All process parameters specified, with confirmation of the setting
- Any combination of target and actual values, such as temperatures or dosages
- Work documents and visualization displayed directly on the line
Progress and forecast
The status of the current order is visible at all times, not only at the end of the shift:
- Actual and target quantity of the current order
- Production progress compared with the time spent so far
- Forecast of the expected end time for operation and order
Downtime and live logging
Faults and special events are recorded where they occur:
- Downtime recording with reason and duration
- Live logging of events during the shift
- Notes on earlier quality issues for the article
Live view and reports
The recorded data provides an overview and evidence without any additional entry:
- Live view showing the status of all lines in a unit
- Shift report with the operations and special events of the shift
- Batch report bringing together all details of a batch
More transparency and less paper in production
ShiftLog improves efficiency, data quality and process reliability in production. The system maps all activities on the line digitally: shift start, order start, setup, production, downtime and completion, each with start, end and time spent.
On the machine dashboard, operators see at a glance which order is running, which operation is due and which comes next. At the same time, the live view shows the status of all lines in a unit with work and time progress. Planning and shift management work with the same figures as the machine itself.
Because actual values, downtimes and quality notes are captured directly on the line, handwritten records and transcription errors disappear. Shift reports and batch reports are generated from the same data and are ready as evidence.
In short: ShiftLog connects machine, shift and evaluation into one continuous digital production process.
