OPEREX · Shift LogLive

Record what happens in your plant — and the work each shift completes

In one auditable place: structured shift handover, event and incident log, and an append-only audit trail. For any shift-based operation — offline and on your own servers, too.

The module

Built for the daily rhythm of a multi-shift plant

OPEREX runs the operating rhythm of a multi-shift operation: the right people record the right things, every shift's log opens and closes on schedule, and nothing — an instruction, a recurring task, an event — slips between shifts.

Multi-shift by design

Handles your full rota — continuous or batch, any number of shifts and crews. The system knows which shift is on from the time of day.

Roles you assign

Operator, shift supervisor, plant manager, data steward… — you decide who records, sees and finalises what (role-based access).

Logs open and close on their own

Each shift's log is generated and closed automatically, on schedule — nobody has to remember to open or finalise it.

Standing orders & shift instructions

Push standing orders to the floor; every shift acknowledges what's active — with a trace of who saw what.

Recurring & carried-over tasks

Assign one-off and recurring tasks; unfinished ones carry over to the next shift, recurring ones reappear on schedule.

Events, incidents & audit trail

Capture events and near-misses, escalate to incidents, and keep an append-only audit trail — who recorded what, and when.

Everything the shift log takes care of

One auditable system for the daily rhythm of a shift-based plant — from role to report, in one place.

Role assignment

Operator, supervisor, plant manager, data steward — you decide who records, sees and finalises what, with custom roles too.

Multiple plants

Several plants in one organisation, with quick switching, per-plant log setup and access.

Multiple sites

Geographically separate sites under one account — each with its own plants, logs and roster.

Automatic log lifecycle

The system opens and closes logs on their own, from your rota and timezone — no manual start.

Instructions and tasks

Standing orders and one-off or recurring tasks; unfinished ones carry over to the next shift.

Events and incidents

Capture with HSE severity and an open→investigating→closed lifecycle, tied to the log.

Shift attendance

Record who worked the shift — from a managed roster, with name and position.

Customisable log

A drag-and-drop builder and ready templates: text, numbers, lists, tables, images — your log.

Archive and search

Filterable, searchable past logs — by status, date, who finalised, and plant.

PDF report

A tamper-proof PDF for every closed shift — saved to the server, downloadable and previewable.

Automatic delivery

The end-of-shift report emailed to your contacts on schedule — no login required.

Audit trail

Every change is recorded (append-only, ISO 45001 §10.2) — nothing can be rewritten silently.

Data export

Any datapoint into a CSV/Excel report with a point-and-click builder; saved definitions re-run anytime.

EU data residency

Your data stays in the EU (GDPR); self-hosted or on-premise on request.

Multilingual interface

Interface language is configurable per organisation — Hungarian and English today, extendable to more; dates and formats follow the locale.

Excel isn't auditable. Paper gets lost.

Same shift, two worlds. Toggle and see the difference.

  • Scattered Excel tabs — everyone on a different version.
  • Handwritten log: “who changed it, and when?”
  • The near-miss gets lost between shifts.
  • At audit time you hunt for evidence for days.
Who it's for

Built for any operation that runs in shifts

Continuous or batch, hazardous or not, from a single production unit to large multi-site organisations. Common settings:

  • Chemical & process plants
  • Food production
  • Energy & utilities
  • Pharmaceuticals
  • Manufacturing
  • Oil & gas

Works for a single production unit too — a few shifts, no IT department.

Where the asset team pulls in one direction

Operations, process technology, maintenance and HSE all see the same log. When goals are aligned the team's rope pulls together (1+1+1+1=4); when they aren't, the effort cancels out (1+1+1−1=2). The shift log is where that daily alignment lives.

One auditable workflow

Shift log

The shift's events and handover in one place.

Event

An entry becomes an incident or near-miss record.

CMMS trigger

A maintenance-relevant event raises a task.

Report

An auditable, finalized shift report.

Try it: the audit trail can't be rewritten after the fact.

The audit log is append-only: you can add a new row, but you can't rewrite or delete an existing one. Click the lock on a row and see.

Immutable log
  1. 06:14B. KovácsShift start, systems in normal operation.
  2. 09:02K. NagyPump P-204 vibration near the upper limit.
  3. 11:37K. NagyGasket leak at the heat exchanger — near-miss, escalated.

The audit trail is the immutable, timestamped history of the shift log and its events: who recorded what, and when. You can only append — never rewrite or delete an existing entry. That's what gives an ISO 45001 §10.2 investigation trustworthy, tamper-evident evidence.

This demo illustrates the idea: in production it's enforced server-side by an append-only database policy (FORCE RLS — inserts only); even the app can't rewrite an existing row.

How much time can you free up in a year?

Set your own numbers — the calculator gives a conservative estimate. Illustration, not an offer.

Illustrative estimate
Documentation hours saved / year
Audit hours saved / year
Total hours freed up / year

This freed-up time can go to autonomous maintenance, preventive work, or other value-creating activity — not lost hours, but recovered capacity.

Assumptions (tunable): 40% of documentation time and 50% of audit prep can be saved; documentation time is counted per person per shift. This is an illustration, not a contractual promise.

Frequently asked questions

What is a digital shift log?

A shift log is the official handover document for shift changes at any operation that runs in shifts (continuous or batch): what happened during the shift, and what the next team needs to know. OPEREX digitizes it — with immutable, timestamped entries.

How does OPEREX support the ISO 45001 §10.2 audit?

Every entry and status change gets an append-only audit trail (who, what, when) that cannot be altered afterwards. The shift log and incident handling thus provide auditable evidence.

Which operations is it for?

Any operation that runs in shifts — continuous or batch, hazardous or not, from a single production unit to large multi-site organisations. Common settings include chemical and process plants, food production, energy, utilities and manufacturing — oil & gas among them.

Where is the data stored?

In the EU, under GDPR. On request, a dedicated project or on-premise (air-gapped) deployment in the Business and Enterprise plans.

How long does it take to roll out the shift log?

The shift log is the lowest-risk entry point: structured shift handover can go live for one unit within days to weeks via a pilot. We fit the rollout to the team's pace.

Who can access it, and with what role?

Role-based access (RBAC): operator, shift supervisor, plant manager, data steward, etc. — who sees, records and finalises what. Every change leaves an audit trail.

How does the shift log relate to operational excellence?

The shift log is the daily execution layer of operational excellence — its 'last meter'. The top-down OE framework (process safety, reliability, efficiency) becomes a concrete, auditable datapoint here: the KPI fact, the gap to target and the triggered action are recorded shift by shift.

The platform

Part of the OPEREX system

One module among several — all built around operational excellence, sharing data with each other.

The shift log is the daily execution layer of operational excellence — where the KPI fact, the gap to target and the triggered action are recorded shift by shift, auditably.
