Digital operator rounds for process plants

Paper logsheets, gone. Every reading, accounted for.

Operators log rounds on any phone, even with no signal. Abnormal readings alert supervisors the moment they're entered. Managers see every round live and pull audit reports in one click.

Why plants switch

A logsheet can't tell anyone a reading is wrong.

On paper, a high discharge pressure sits on a clipboard until someone types it up. In PlantIQ, it is flagged on the spot and the supervisor knows within seconds.

What one reading carries in PlantIQ (example data).

How it works

From the field to the manager's screen in four steps.

STEP 1 · SET UP ONCE

Map your plant and build your checklists

Your team sets up the plant itself: no consultants needed.

  • Site › area › unit › tag hierarchy, importable from Excel
  • Drag-and-drop forms with normal ranges per reading
  • Rounds scheduled by shift, created automatically
PlantIQ form builder with readings, tags and range settings
STEP 2 · OPERATORS DO ROUNDS

Rounds arrive on the operator's phone

Scan the QR tag on the instrument, read the gauge, enter the value. One field at a time with big buttons, easy with gloves on.

STEP 3 · EXCEPTIONS SURFACE

Abnormal readings can't be missed

A value outside its range turns red, asks for a photo and a note, and alerts the supervisor by app, email, WhatsApp or SMS.

STEP 4 · MANAGERS SEE IT LIVE

Dashboards, trends and reports

See every round as it happens, spot equipment drifting days before a trip, and export audit-ready PDF or Excel reports.

Built for the plant floor

No signal in the pump room? Keep working.

Basements, compressor houses and tank farms often have no coverage. PlantIQ saves every reading, photo and signature on the phone and uploads it the moment the operator is back in range.

Questions

Common questions from plant teams

Do operators need special devices?

No. PlantIQ runs on ordinary Android phones and iPhones, and supervisors use any web browser. Rugged phones work too if your site requires them.

What happens when there's no internet?

Operators keep working. Readings, photos and signatures are stored securely on the phone and sync automatically when the phone is back in coverage, keeping the time each reading was actually taken.

Does it replace our DCS or SAP?

No. It covers the manual field rounds your DCS doesn't see. Data can be exported for your existing systems.

How long does setup take?

A pilot area is usually live within a week. Your team can import the plant hierarchy from Excel and build forms without coding.

Is our data secure?

Access is role-based and every action is recorded in an audit trail. On-premise installation is available for sites that need it.

How is it priced?

Simple monthly plans based on users and sites, starting with a free 30-day pilot. Ask us for a quote for your plant.
