Electronic Logbook Software 

Challenges with manual paper-based logbooks

Lifesciences companies like Pharmaceutical, Biotech, Contract Research Organization (CRO), Medical Devices and Contract Development and Manufacturing Organization (CDMO), API (Active Pharmaceutical Ingredient) Manufacturers and other drug manufacturing companies use manual paper-based logbooks, they face numerous recurring impediments. With a manual paper-based system, it is difficult to record specifics like equipment calibration, stability schedules, granulation, packing, tableting, area cleaning, maintenance, weighing and dispensing, and equipment usage logs. Manual data entry in the logbook has been shown to decrease productivity, contain unnecessary information, inaccuracies, and contain incorrect estimates of production quantities, deviation, and so on.

The usage of a paper-based logbook has a history of causing compliance problems. Additionally, it affects operational processes, which are prone to inaccuracy when capturing the contents of individual logs with user signatures, date and time stamps, test and product specifications, and batch numbers. The validation process is also complicated by the fact that each batch’s lot numbers are handled in multiple places.

Additionally, it is essential to evaluate logbook entries regularly to ensure that data has been appropriately compiled over time following SOP standards. Using a different logbook for each phase makes the process more time-consuming, resulting in an accumulation of many logbooks. This has a knock-on effect on document verification.

Documents in the logbook may need to be corrected. A record of the procedure is retained, together with a signed and dated statement from all parties involved, explaining why a revision was made. When these records are transferred to different departments, tracing or tracking them manually becomes complex and demanding.

We at AmpleLogic developed the Electronic Logbook (eLogs) as a solution to the problems encountered during data entry and the capture of all usage log details across facilities to avoid these issues. This is purposely created for FDA-regulated (GMP/cGMP) manufacturing facilities to overcome the numerous difficulties encountered in the various departments of an organization during log entry.
