What exactly is a digital shift book?

A digital shift book is a software-based solution for the complete documentation of all shift processes, tasks, events, handovers and instructions in real time. It replaces conventional, paper-based shift protocols by centralised data records available at any time, audit trails and automatic time stamps
Across all industries, there are a variety of application areas in production, logistics, chemicals, the food industry, automotive manufacturing, energy and water management, as well as in the facility and service management.

 

What are the benefits of a digital shift book for its user?

In production, automatic time stamps, audit trails and complete protocols provide more transparent shift changes, faster error cause analysis and better traceability of batches and qualifications.

Advantages for the production: reduced process times, fewer downtimes, improved resource planning, faster audits and higher product quality due to clear instructions and consistent processes.

Staff benefit from transparent handovers, less duplication of work, less paperwork and mobile, location-independent data entry, which leads to fewer errors. Managers receive real-time reports, better KPI transparency, optimised shift planning, greater compliance and faster response times in the event of deviations.

Overall, productivity, safety and employee motivation are increased due to clear processes and simple documentation.
