What is SCT ?
SCT (Shift Change Tracking System) is an innovative digital solution specifically designed to streamline your factory's shift handover operations. By utilizing systematic digital management, it liberates your team from shift handover concerns and effectively solves the chaos, tracking difficulties, and critical omissions commonly associated with traditional paper-based logs.
Operating seamlessly through a web browser, SCT automatically captures crucial events and alarms while proactively notifying the relevant personnel. This allows your team to easily access, update, and respond to shift handover records anytime and anywhere. SCT establishes a standardized management process that enhances efficiency and frees up valuable resources for higher-value tasks.

Customer story
Achieving Seamless Handovers and Alarm Tracking for a Major Petrochemical Plant via SCT.
The client is a major petrochemical enterprise in Taiwan. Their production processes rely on a hazard detection system acting as the first line of defense against potential leaks of hazardous liquids and gases, such as hydrofluoric acid. Field personnel must conduct frequent inspections and properly hand over follow-up tasks to ensure plant safety.
However, due to frequent issues like missing handover details and poor traceability, the client aimed to establish a structured work handover log system and fully digitalize their management process.
Before implementing a digital solution, the plant's management and field personnel faced several severe challenges :
-
Incomplete Information
Handover details from personnel inspecting hazardous pipelines were often inconsistent and unstandardized, leading to the loss of critical information.
-
Management Difficulties
Records were maintained solely on paper forms and Excel, making tracking difficult and lacking active notifications or case-closing mechanisms.
-
Time-Consuming & Labor-Intensive
Without a centralized system, managers had to manually contact various departments to piece together incident information.
To resolve these issues, the plant implemented SCT as the core solution to systematically improve the workflow :
-
Combined Automated & Manual Input
SCT allows personnel to manually enter handover details while automatically pulling critical alarm data from the SCADA system’s Alarm DB/File to generate follow-up items.
-
Proactive Notifications
The system actively alerts relevant personnel regarding important pending or overdue cases, ensuring no task is overlooked.
-
Centralized Web Platform
Managers can access the web interface anytime, anywhere to review contextualized information and write back instructions, streamlining team collaboration.
-
Efficient Management
The work handover log and task-tracking processes have become smooth and highly structured. With SCT's support, missing or overdue tasks have been nearly eliminated.
-
Reduced Decision-Making Time
Previously, managers spent significant time gathering incident context from multiple departments. Now, all contextualized information is instantly available on the web interface, drastically improving response speed and decision-making.
