Electronic Logbooks

While automation has vastly improved the gathering of process data on the plant floor during the last decade or two, operator logbook technology has not advanced past paper journals at most facilities!  AuditMatic, from Form Automation Solutions,  addresses this neglected aspect of plant operations, providing you with modern database tools to easily gather and disseminate important operations records throughout your facility or enterprise.  Whether installed on a computer at your facility, or hosted at our secure data center and accessed over the Internet, AuditMatic has you covered.

No software needed

Because users access AuditMatic using their desktop web browser, no software is needed to be installed at operator workstations. Operators use the Internet Explorer web browser at their workstation to login to the AuditMatic system to make logbook entries, run reports or administer users and forms.
