SIWA^CIS PAS eOD (electronic Operation Diary) is a software package that can be integrated into an existing control system and provides the functionality of an operations log. Based on an internal database, it is the modern alternative to paper-based operations logs or shift logs.

Our solution

Since data entries are centrally stored on the Microsoft SQL Server, the SIWA^CIS PAS eOD operations log can be easily installed in all PCs connected to the server, whether in the control room, office or laboratory.

As a result, SIWA^CIS PAS eOD supports transparent communications between the departments involved in operational processes – such as operations, laboratory, management and services – and ensures uniform, up-to-date information about operational events.

More systematic efficiency and transparency
SIWA^CIS PAS eOD eliminates tedious searches for entries concerning previously recorded processes. An easy-to-use search screen makes you find the desired processes fast, precisely and consistently.

With SIWA^CIS PAS eOD you can also track individual processes and their history. And the ability of visualizing a process from its beginning to its current status makes it possible to retrace the sequence of events at any time. This ensures unproblematic documentation of maintenance actions. The Storing of an equipment-specific history also facilitates fast fault identification.

Consistent information improves safety
In addition to improving the quality of operational processes, the use of SIWA^CIS PAS eOD also improves the safety of the process sequence. The operator can enter notes, instructions or comments at any work station in the control system via a commentary window directly at the aggregate or at a measuring point.

When notes or instructions are entered, the symbol for the particular aggregate or measuring point is marked in the plant diagram. This marking can be viewed at all work stations. As a result, all users have access to the same information, and thus operation errors can be avoided. By giving all users access to the same information and by storing appropriate instructions in the control system, SIWA^CIS PAS eOD reduces errors.

Good reasons for SIWA^CIS PAS eOD

• Increased reliability in operational communications because of a shared information base
• Convenient tracking of processes by filter or search functions
• Orderly transfer during shift changes based on traceable information
• Documentation of operational history as a basis for potential improvements
• Integration into the existing control system saves hardware investment
