Emerson Process Management Logbooks for DeltaV distributed control system

Click2Contact

Emerson Process Management’s Logbooks — an electronic database of operator log entries suitable for plant operators — can now be embedded in the DeltaV distributed control system interface.

They are designed to improve task management and enable more effective shift handovers with real-time visibility to active entries. Users can access the logbook system directly from their DeltaV workstations to view shift-based dashboards that highlight relevant log entries for the operations team.

Task management with the product helps operators respond more quickly to high-priority tasks. With event monitoring, logbook entries are automatically created from DeltaV events. These entries can then trigger additional tasks in the system or flag issues to raise attention. The shift dashboard displays task status and existing flags to ensure necessary work is not missed.

Operators can identify their priority tasks with a customised dashboard for each user. Relevant log entries and assigned tasks are displayed and responsibilities are clearly defined, allowing for more streamlined communication between operators and managers in order to more effectively plan and prioritise work.
