e-Notebook is a database application supporting the management of equipment documentation. The application has proven to be very effective in foundries, but the system can be successfully used in other production sectors that use complex and expensive equipment whose documentation stores information about modifications and periodic inspections (or other maintenance standards).
The application was created to replace traditional methods of keeping equipment documentation into electronic form.
By transferring the documentation to a computer's memory, it became centralized. It is available to many people at once without the risk of loss or destruction. The program can be used using desktop computers and mobile devices, e.g. tablets, which can act as terminals available in the plant's production areas.
The electronic form allows for proper organization of data, performing searches, preparing analytical reports, as well as supervising the equipment livetime process (e.g. required approval path).
