Designing a Custom Logbook Application for Improved Record Keeping

Capturing critical operational data shouldn’t be a bottleneck—even for assets lacking instrumentation or processes requiring lab measurements. Manual data recording and disconnected software systems create inefficiencies and increase compliance risks. IOTA VUE empowers operators to create a lightweight, custom digital logbook solution, streamlining data entry, improving visibility, and enabling teams to document and act on key insights in real time—with minimal IT support for solution design and maintenance.

Operators in pharmaceutical and life sciences manufacturing struggle with disparate data sources in both print and digital formats, leading to inefficient logbook workflows. Key information is stored across multiple systems, making it timeconsuming to analyze, record, and retrieve critical operational data. Additionally, IT intervention is often required to implement an improved system, deterring businesses from pursuing alternatives and limiting flexibility in workflow management.

IOTA VUE enables creation of custom, integrated logbook application that streamlines data entry, improves decisionmaking, and centralizes the knowledge captured by operators. By leveraging native components, manual entry capabilities, and write-back functionality, operators and engineers gain a flexible and scalable solution without needing IT resources to write an application from scratch.

  • Simplify logbook management, reducing reliance on manual data recording and retrieval for analysis.
  • Increase operational efficiency with faster and more accurate data entry.
  • Improve situational awareness by giving teams real-time access to historical and live records.
  • Standardize workflows, making it easier to scale processes across manufacturing processes.
  • Unified Data Entry & Visualization: Enable the creation of flexible manual data entry applications within our visualization platform, seamlessly writing data to AVEVA PI System, LIMS, and work order management systems. Eliminate the need for separate applications for each use case, consolidating logbook data into a single, easy-to-use platform.
  • Rapid Application Development: Enable power users and engineers to build and customize dashboards using IOTA’s native components, reducing costly reliance on IT for updates and modifications.
  • Manual Data Entry & Write-Back Functionality: Provide an intuitive interface for operators to record critical data and comments, storing them alongside raw data to preserve context and enable faster historical analysis.
  • Scalability & Replication: Leverage IOTA’s templatization capabilities to quickly scale from a single logbook prototype to a deployed solution across various batch processes, ensuring standardized and repeatable workflows.
