The Problem
Industrial sites often use inadequate data collection and sharing tools for crucial human procedures, with manual methods of data logging poorly connected to industrial software such as data historians and the CMMS. As poor shift handover processes can contribute to catastrophic incidents, these preventable risks to worker safety demand the need for consistent and detailed data management.

This comprises the j5 Operations Logbook, j5 Shift Handover, j5 Standing Orders, j5 Work Instructions and the j5 Event Manager. It also includes j5 IndustraForm® Templates and the j5 IndustraForm Designer. This digital platform enables personnel to document and manage the execution of key industrial processes such as shift handover and the capture of operator shift logs.
