Welcome to a different kind of operational logging software. It forges people-communication and information-use within process manufacturing sites to maintain smooth, safe and compliant operations:
Lifetrack is the result of a two-year industrial research program sponsored by BP, Honeywell Control and Cambridge University to model the social, communication and information dimensions of operations logging.
With Lifetrack, operational staff systematically record and track the details of events and actions as they happen so their colleagues - whenever or wherever they are - can quickly read about them and know what is going on.
Lifetrack makes a positive impact on operational efficiency, regulatory compliance and plant integrity by enabling:
- Situational Awareness: Serious problems at plants have been traced back to inconsistent views of the same operation. With Lifetrack, everyone gets the same consistent view of plant operations. This reduces the chance of misunderstandings.
- Information Accessibility: Events, fixes, experience and know-how are retained and immediately available to all layers of staff. Decision-making and agility are improved.
- Organizational Learning: By providing an un-forgetting memory for storing everyone's operational experience as it occurs, knowledge can be re-used and so a natural 'learning loop' is established that engenders continuous improvement and operational excellence.
Built on sound knowledge management principles, Lifetrack is designed to be straightforward, easy-to-use, to require no formal training and avoid the complexity or expense of large-scale IT systems whilst providing the range of functionality necessary for most manufacturing operations for this type of application.
Lifetrack is a shared resource and customized to the way each plant operates. Customization takes hours not weeks or months.
Lifetrack complements existing manufacturing ERP systems.
