DIGITAL SHIFT BOOK
From One Shift to the Next Without Missing a Beat
How many hours does your team spend compiling shift reports and later searching through them to determine whether a problem has occurred before and what actions were taken? The answer is often "too many." It's not just about time; a missed handoff or an unlogged fault can lead to safety incidents, compliance issues, or recurring problems because no one noticed the pattern. The Digital Shift Book can significantly reduce the time spent on shift handovers and information retrieval, with some teams reporting reductions of up to 90%.
Benefits » Complete shift handovers and find past information faster, cutting both by up to 90% » Standardize the capture of events, instructions, and tasks across every shift with consistent, mandatory fields » Achieve audit-proof compliance through time-stamped records and role-based access control » Connect seamlessly to SAP PM, Aveva PI, Aspen InfoPlus.21, and Honeywell PHD » Extend easily with modules such as shift and staff scheduling, and checklists » Trusted by over 100 production companies worldwide

Seamless Information Flow, Built In Traditional shift handovers rely on scattered notes, disconnected logs, and information that gets lost between shifts. The Digital Shift Book replaces that with a single, standardized system that captures events and information from shift operations, documents them, and automatically hands off only the relevant open items, not the entire log, to the next shift. Problems captured in the field are immediately visible in the office, without waiting for a report to be compiled or for a shift to end. Information is captured locally, usually via mobile devices. Every worker sees what's relevant to their role and authorization level, while management gets a real-time overview, along with the instructions and tasks driving the team's work.
What Makes Logility Digital Shift Book Different • One standardized shift book: Uniform recording of information, instructions, and tasks in a central shift book and plant logbook, available at the touch of a button. • Consistent event capture: Every shift event uses the same standardized form, with mandatory fields to ensure nothing critical is missed. • Role-based access: Every worker sees the information and tasks relevant to their role and authorization level. • Configurable filtering: Search and filter by shift, facility, production line, plant, category, priority, or asset, and generate summary reports on the events that matter.

How It Works in Daily Operations • Information captured continuously: Events and data from the shop floor are captured locally and documented as they occur, so the information is ready and accurate by the time the shift handover takes place. • Instructions reach the right people: System-specific tasks, instructions, and important changes are visible to the workers who need them, based on their role. • Data syncs across systems automatically: Standardized interfaces pass information, such as error reports with photos and commentary, directly into SAP PM and other connected systems. • Capabilities grow with your operation: Add modules such as shift and staff scheduling and checklists as needs evolve.
Key Features • Certified security and compliance: All data is stored in an audit-compliant central database with timestamps and an electronic signature. Access is governed by a role-based authorization model with single sign-on support, and retrospective changes or additions to the shift book are not possible. • Always current, less IT overhead: Built on a modern, cloud-ready platform, so updates roll out without disrupting your operations and securely connect to the systems you already use. • Event categorization: Categorize information and events by fault type or cause of stoppage to make patterns easy to spot and analyze. • Reporting and investigation: Search the web frontend for historical information at the shift, facility, or site level, with summary views of events available at the click of a button. • Works with what you already run: Connects to systems already running on your floor, including SAP PM, Aveva PI, Aspen InfoPlus.21, Honeywell PHD, LIMS, MES, and BI tools, with modules and plugins you can add as needs grow. For select deployments, shift events can be created automatically when process values from Aveva PI or IP21 exceed defined thresholds.
Built for Modern Shift Operations The gap between what happens on the shop floor and what makes it into the record is where faults go unnoticed, compliance slips, and time is lost. The Digital Shift Book closes that gap by combining standardized capture and seamless system integration in a single platform. The result is a shift operation where information moves as fast as the work itself; every handover is complete from the start, and your team stays focused on what matters most.
