jLogBook

Just how configurable can an electronic LogBook be?


  • My requirements are different!
  • So how can a prepackaged logbook application meet my needs?
  • We look at the requirements of 7 very different customers.
  • Just how configurable is an electronic logbook?
  • Can it be so configurable that it handles all these conditions without having to write a single line of code?

  1. I want the technical and managerial staff to see first hand (without having to bother the operators in the control room) what is going on in the process and what the kinds of problems the operations division are encountering. I want the system to create logs that report the information to the Intranet to keep all the relevant people informed. I want these logs attached to the daily report.
  2. I need to record Environmental Emission exceedences, operator reasons for the emission, get figures for analysis, create correlation graphs of operator versus emission and also reason code versus emission in Excel using the Pearson correlation function. (jLogBook and jWorkBook would be required.)
  3. I want to use the LogBook to keep a track of the tasks being issued from the control room to the various operators in the field. Later I want to be able to verify how quickly operators have completed the tasks.    
  4. I want operators to use the LogBook as a shift changeover log where they record 10 key values at the beginning of the shift and then also at the end of the shift and make notes as to what actions have been taken to improve them.
  5. The LogBook must manage operator notes with regard to the batch management of the chemical process. A special field must be created to show the batch number and this key will be used to attach the relevant logs to the batch information report.    
  6. I want to see the operator logs next to the hourly averages of the production history. I want the log table to be joined to the history table and a report to be created. (jWorkBook is used to create a join)
  7. We have to monitor the reasons why there are fluctuations in the distribution of material in our chemical processing plant. Because the process is a circuit, any stoppage in one area causes a problem in the next. I want the operators to enter reason codes for stoppages in four different control rooms which will provide the information for a group of central engineers to steadily improve the system.(One jLogBook in each control room would be required.)    


What about your requirements? Do some of these requirements sound similar to your operation? Or is there possibly some new requirements you would like fulfilled on your site? Give us a call and we will implement your system or..... download a copy of the jLogBook and try it out for yourself.
