Data Collection and Management

InfoLog™ is a data entry application that automates data collection in a centrally managed environment based on a Microsoft SQL Server database engine. InfoLog is suitable for a wide range of input tasks including laboratory test data, machine logs, and downtime recording.

Benefits of collecting and managing data electronically
As manufacturing facilities continually look for more efficient ways to run their facilities, many are re-evaluating the way data is collected, stored and analyzed. If you are currently using paper records or spreadsheets to organize data, you are probably aware of the challenges and limitations involved. Switching to a system that electronically and automatically collects data minimizes issues involved with accuracy, security, accessibility, reporting and more.

Paper vs. Spreadsheets vs. Electronic Log Sheets:

Common Data Concerns	Paper/Manual Records	Spreadsheets	Electronic Log Sheets
Accuracy	Prone to human error and omissions	Limited provision for checking integrity of entered data	Input verification ensures accurate and complete data
Accessibility	Difficult to organize/locate paper records	No multi-user access	Network-based, multi-user database application
Security	No provision for authentication	No provision for electronic signatures	Rigorous security with option for Windows authentication
Traceability	No means for accountability	No audit trail	Every change written to audit trail
Reporting/Analysis	Data must be re-keyed into analytical software	Difficult to aggregate data for long-term analysis	All data archived in a central database with option for web-based reporting
