Digital Log Sheets

Introduction

Production log sheets are an integral part of manufacturing culture and operational processes — used to record key events on the shop floor and to capture the related explanations provided by production staff.

Today, despite the availability of various automation systems (such as SCADA, MES, APS, and AI advisors), more than 80% of production sites still maintain at least some of their log sheets manually, on paper.

Problems with Paper-Based Log Sheets

Although keeping paper logs may seem simple, it comes with a number of significant drawbacks:

• the information is practically inaccessible and is typically only consulted when investigating serious incidents;
• very often, the person filling in the log is not the same person who originally holds the information that should be recorded there. For example — a dispatcher has to call around the various sites to collect shift results;
• there are frequent concerns about staff discipline and the quality of how logs are kept.

What Information Is Typically Recorded in Log Sheets

Depending on the type of production and the events that need to be recorded, production log sheets may contain very different kinds of information, such as:

• daily / shift production volume summaries
• maintenance and repair logs
• inspection and walk-around logs
• HSE logs (Occupational Health and Industrial Safety)
• instrument and meter reading logs
• permit-to-work and access authorization logs
• transport logs
• inventory and auxiliary equipment issue logs

Industries That Use Production Log Sheets

How the Log Sheet System Is Designed

AI Voice Assistant and Voice Bot

There are two possible scenarios for voice-driven log keeping: voice-based entry using Voice Assistant and voice-based outbound calls using Voice Bot.

Voice-Based Log Entry Using Voice Assistant

When filling in a log (either from a workstation or a mobile device), an employee can select the “Voice Assistant” option and, through a voice dialogue with our AI Voice Assistant, provide all the necessary information. It is then automatically converted into a log record and saved.

Automated Voice Outbound Calls Using Voice Bot

In the alternative scenario, the AI Voice Bot automatically calls responsible employees on their mobile phones and requests a work summary, which is then entered into the log automatically.

This scenario is especially well-suited to production sites where internet access is unavailable or unreliable, but regular mobile coverage is in place.

GPT Chat to Your Log Sheets — the Easiest Way to Search and Analyze Data

You can “chat” with your log sheets in much the same way as with ChatGPT, which makes accessing and analyzing this information as simple as possible.

Export Log Sheet Data

You can choose from several export options for further processing or analysis of your production log data: JSON, XML, CSV, XLS, PDF, or API access.
