Task Management System

Overview

The LOGICAL SYSTEMS Task Management System (TMS) unifies electronic logbooks, operational journals, task scheduling and standardised shift handover in a single operator-first workspace. Built on Inductive Automation's Ignition Perspective platform, it replaces paper notebooks and scattered emails with auditable, searchable digital logbooks, and makes work planning shift-aware, with SLA timers and escalation workflows keeping tasks on track. Tasks and log entries can be generated automatically from Ignition tags, alarms or historian conditions the moment thresholds are breached.

Shift handovers are standardised through guided packs, roll-forward of open items and secure e-signatures, so no critical information is lost. Permit integration, mandatory fields, audit-ready packs and validated signatures strengthen safety and compliance, while combining human-entered context with historian, OEE and EMS data improves decision-making. Embedded SOPs, training videos and competency sign-offs build workforce knowledge, and cross-site governance with template libraries brings consistency across the enterprise.

TMS also includes our complete electronic forms capability. A drag-and-drop builder turns maintenance checklists, safety audits, shift reports and deviation logs into digital forms with conditional logic, validations, scoring, signatures and photo or document uploads. Forms are assigned to roles, users or workstations, work on touch tablets, phones and desktops, and can be saved and resumed; every submission is timestamped, tagged with its machine or batch and fully auditable. Built-in document management keeps SOPs, safety data sheets and specifications at hand, and reporting turns submissions into compliance and completion KPIs.
