E-Log

E-Log is an electronic equipment logbook module from Pharmasoft, designed for pharmaceutical and biotech manufacturing operations. It replaces conventional paper-based logbooks with secure, searchable electronic records that cover equipment usage, cleaning, maintenance, sanitization, calibration, and operational parameter logging. The module is intended for teams operating under GMP requirements, including QA, production, and engineering functions.

Each log entry is authenticated with user credentials, automatic timestamps, and electronic signatures, producing a tamper-proof audit trail. Integration with Pharmasoft's Electronic Batch Manufacturing Records (EBMR) and Manufacturing Execution System (MES) modules enables automatic capture of batch numbers, product names, lot numbers, and equipment operating times, removing the need for manual cross-referencing between batch records and equipment logs.

Digital Logbook Entry and Approval

• Fully electronic replacement for paper-based logbooks
• Configurable log templates for equipment, cleaning, and shift logs, adaptable per equipment category and approved SOPs

• Electronic signatures compliant with 21 CFR Part 11

Real-Time Tracking and Operational Traceability

• Time-stamped entries for all activities performed on equipment
• Complete traceability of equipment usage and cleaning history
• Real-time equipment status visibility (Cleaned / Under Maintenance / Ready for Use / In Use) accessible to all authorized users, supporting controlled changeover management
• Automated reminders for overdue or pending log entries
• Real-time dashboards available to QA, production, and engineering teams

Compliance, Audit Trails, and Data Integrity

• Tamper-proof audit trails covering every entry, edit, and approval action
• Data integrity enforcement based on ALCOA+ principles
• Configurable review and escalation workflows
• Inspection-ready electronic records for regulatory audits, with log histories retrievable in under five minutes

Types of Equipment Logs Supported
