Hi! We have a lot of clients both new and old within our eLogger Family. So we thought we’d try something new and introduce ourselves in the case you haven’t met us yet! Since I’m one of the first people that will be contacting you once you’ve purchased eLogger—I’ll start!

I’m AJ Cawcutt, eLogger’s Client Relations Manager. When I started with eLogger in April 2019, this was a new role. From project management to business relations, my goal is to build and sustain strong relationships with our clients. It is in my best interest to ensure they are getting the most from the product and our incredible team! Chances are, I have already reached out to you, maybe even a couple of times. I know a lot of you work closely with our team already and I promise to not bombard you with “another call from eLogger” because your time is valuable. I will be reaching out a couple times throughout the year so that I can stay up to date with any changes and updates in hopes to make a connection. If we haven’t yet directly connected yet, feel free to reach out to me—I’d love to meet you!

Aside from my CRM role, I am a wife and mother. For a better part of the year, you’ll find us at hockey rinks cheering on our boys or soaking up the best of Minnesota rays on the lake. In addition, we tend to pile on house projects like they’re going out of style. I often get the look when I say “So… I was thinking…”. In a nutshell, we like to do all the things, staying as active as possible. It’s safe to say, my life and my career go hand in hand.

I look forward to meeting you—you can reach me at acawcutt@eLogger.com or find me on LinkedIn!

Don’t forget to show some kindness today…here are some more ideas.

1. Support a local business.
2. Pay for a stranger’s layaway purchase.
3. Babysit for free for a friend.
4. Just smile…smile at everyone!
5. During your commute, let another car go in front of you.

Today is Day Four of Minnesota United Acts of Kindness Week and eLogger is pulling out the checkbook.  Today, Life House, Against Malaria, CASDA, PAVSA, and Safe Haven are getting checks from us. Feel free to join us!

Here are some more options to show kindness today.  Like before, comment below and let us know what’s happening!

1.      Help someone on the side of the road when they need it.
2.      Write a thank you note to someone that has helped you.
3.      High five children who are behaving well in stores.
4.      Send out cards to people who are making an impact on your life—at this moment.
5.      Take a family (or your coworkers) a home cooked meal or baked goodies.

Today is Day Three of Minnesota United Acts of Kindness Week and the eLogger crew is showing some love for Second Harvest Food Bank. It’s easy to stand outside and help direct traffic and hand out food like we did this summer, but do you have what it takes to stand outside in the winter and do the same thing?  The eLogger crew is volunteering on December 19^th and we’re dressing up warm and getting it done.  Want to join us?  They’re looking for volunteers.

Again, if you’d prefer to show your kindness in another way, here are some additional options.  Be sure to comment below and let us know what’s happening!

1.      Donate outgrown clothes.
2.      Shovel or plow for your neighbor.
3.      Make a homemade gift for someone.
4.      Tell a manager how good your service was.
5.      Send a card to a service member.

This is Day Two of Minnesota United Acts of Kindness Week and with the holidays fast approaching, eLogger is stepping it up to help a couple of local families who have fallen on tough times through no fault of their own to have their Best Christmas Ever. By helping us out with this, you can change the projection of a family’s life. Let’s be unreasonably generous this holiday season because as everyone knows, alone we can do so little…together we can do so much”. SO LET’S DO IT!! You can donate by clicking on one of the links below. If you’d rather supply a gift, write a comment below and we can get you a list.

1.      Buy some school supplies for a teacher.

This week is Minnesota United Acts of Kindness Week and eLogger is kicking it off with a bang!  This is a week dedicated to promoting kindness, generosity, and love through acts of kindness toward friends, neighbors, and strangers alike. A simple act of kindness can change someone’s day and can spark a chain reaction.

The effort is the work of 40 United Ways across the state of Minnesota. So, every day this week, eLogger will post something and we’re hoping you all will step up and join us! Today we’re supporting the United Way with a cash donation. If you want to join us, donations can be made here.  That said, it doesn’t take much and most of the time no money to be kind, so each day this week, we’ll add a few options for you to try.  Today, let’s all do one of the following and comment below when you’re done!

1.      Hold the door open for someone
2.      Return someone’s grocery cart.
3.      Go to your local school and pay for someone’s past due lunch tickets.
4.      Donate to your local food shelf.
5.      Buy coffee or a meal for the person in line behind you.

The holiday season brings expected and unexpected things. For those of us fortunate enough to have homes full of warmth, family, and food, this time of year is one of contentment and revitalization. But for many, this is a time of need rather than abundance. Many of our neighbors – locally, nationally, and internationally- are struggling.

Thankfully, there are incredible, devoted organizations working to help those in need, both around the holidays, and all year long. In honor of those organizations, we at eLogger encourage you to believe that you don’t have to be a millionaire to help.

Today is Give to the Max Day in Minnesota, a day when we’re all called to offer whatever we can to help those who are struggling. Every single penny counts. eLogger partners with Best Christmas Ever, United Way of Carlton County, the Against Malaria Foundation, PAVSA, Young Life Outreach Center, Kingdom Builders Ministries, and Feed My Starving Children. If you can join us in supporting either one of these organizations, or an organization you’ve found that speaks to your heart for giving, we’ll be working together to do any part we can in making this season a little bit brighter.

Mother, Referee, Gardner, Chef, and Event Planner…just to name a few. Her flexibility, work ethic, and loyalty are second to none and we are extremely grateful to have her.

eLogger’s Jane Fitzpatrick and BJ Lingren attended the Western Turbine Users Inc. Conference in Las Vegas, NV, for the sixth time.  This is a great opportunity to visit with eLogger users, WTUI Board Members, and other WTUI members.  eLogger’s booth featured a Whac-a-Mole game this year and definitely took the prize for noisiest booth!  Once again, it was a privilege to participate in such a well-organized event!

BJ and Jane are on their way tomorrow to the Western Turbine User Inc. (WTUI) Conference. The 2019 WTUI conference is being held in Las Vegas, Nevada, March 17th thru the 20th at the South Point Hotel and Casino.

One might ask why do BJ and Jane go to a conference that exists solely to provide their members a forum for the exchange of technical, operations and maintenance information, and the experience to improve reliability and economic viability of GE LM series power facilities. What do they know about that?  If we’re being honest, that’s not our area of expertise.  BUT, LOGBOOKS ARE.  Roughly 60% of our client base is either in the generation, transmission, or distribution of power and that means we have a lot of experience implementing eLogger in this industry…so we need to be there.

Of course, it’s really not a hardship to leave this brutal winter behind and visit a sunny state.  Stop by and visit us at Booth #723…we’d love to talk to you about LOGBOOKS!

We promise it’s not an April Fool’s Day joke. We are releasing eLogger 2019.2 on April 1st and thought we’d share a quick sneak peek! Further details coming soon!

It’s that time again! eLogger’s BJ and Jane are off to the Western Turbine User Inc. (WTUI) Conference. The  2019 WTUI conference will be held in Las Vegas, Nevada, March 17th thru the 20th at the Southpoint Hotel and Casino. Stop by and visit us at Booth #723.

WTUI is a membership organization of GE LM2500, LM5000, LM6000, and LMS100 users, manufacturers, and suppliers. The organization is a California corporation funded through annual membership and conference fees. WTUI was founded in 1990 and has approximately 80 power plant facilities and represents over 100 suppliers and more than 1,100 members spread over 20 countries. OEMs and suppliers support WTUI through their participation in the annual conference and in technical discussions.

We hear there’s going to be a Vegas Spectacular this year and we’ll get to experience all the glitz and glam that Vegas has to offer at our very own Revue.  Stay tuned for pictures! Not sure how they’ll beat last year’s event.

A big eLogger welcome goes out to Klickitat Public Utilities District, serving all of Klickitat County in the state of Washington. Klickitat PUD contacted eLogger to assist them with operational record and log keeping for their renewable natural gas project.  They will begin producing and selling renewable natural gas, which is the currently used to generate electricity at the landfill in Roosevelt.  With current and forecasted market prices for renewable electricity, there is more value in selling the renewable fuel than using it for power generation.

Klickitat PUD was formed in 1938 to provide electrical services in the county, and has grown from the original 2,800 customers to 12,377 as of 12/31/2014.  Their main office is located in Goldendale with a branch office in White Salmon.  Klickitat PUD provides service to several communities throughout their wide-spread county including Roosevelt, Bickleton, Alderdale, Maryhill, Dallesport, Klickitat, Lyle, Snowden, Trout Lake, Glenwood, Centerville, White Salmon, Bingen, High Prairie, Appleton, Husum, Wishram, and Goldendale.  Klickitat PUD also manages water and wastewater systems in several of these smaller communities.

Our eLogger Staff was thrilled to help the Carlton County United Way by helping to paint the sidewalk for the new Born Learning Trail at Hilltop.

It helps parents, caregivers and communities create quality engagement opportunities when out on a stroll or visiting a local playground.

What a privilege it was for BJ and Anna to speak and exhibit at the 69th Annual AREGC Conference, hosted by Oglethorpe Power Corporation, with the Technical Program managed by PowerSouth Energy Cooperative. This national event was designed to provide electric cooperative power plant operations, maintenance and engineering personnel with the skills and education needed to enhance the effectiveness of electric generating cooperatives nationwide. We had the opportunity to meet with industry experts, collaborate with peers, and gain knowledge and insight into new practices and technologies to help direct the future of cooperatives.

This year’s conference was held at Lanier Islands Resort in Buford, GA, just north of Atlanta. Not only a great conference, but an absolute beautiful location.

Work, work, work is ALL WE EVER DO. Sigh. For example, from June 24-27, 2018 we’ll be laboring away at the 69^th annual Association of Rural Electric Generating Cooperatives (AREGC) Conference, held in Georgia’s famously gorgeous Lanier Islands. And to make matters worse, we’ll be surrounded by some of the power industry’s leading experts and professionals, learning more about how to better serve our power clients, and showcasing how we’ve been able to help our power clients make the leap from paper to electronic logkeeping. It’s a hard life, but we keep our chins up. If you’re stuck attending this backbreaking (awesome, beautiful) event, too, stop by and visit with Anna and BJ at booth #26. Meantime, just look at what we’ll have to endure (and put it in your budget for next year!):

We are so proud to be counted in this incredible group of entrepreneurs who have “followed their dreams, taken risks, and found success,” and eager to raise our glasses to all who win. Thank you, UMD Center for Economic Development, for the incredible privilege to be included in such an impressive and reputable group of nominees!

For many of you in highly regulated industries, such as power generation, water and wastewater, natural gas, government, and others, using electronic logbooks is a best practice.  But there are a number of myths floating around about electronic logbooks that might make it seem like they are too big a leap for your organization. While it’s certainly good to carefully review the possible downsides of any big business decision, it’s also good to know what information is real, and what isn’t.

(And P.S., We’re not sure if any of this will actually blow your mind – we got that off the internet.)
Myth #1: We’ll have to change how we do business to use an electronic logbook.

eLogger is designed to group your information into specific areas for intelligible narrative and compliance, but what those areas include, who can view them, and what they can do in them is really up to you. At the end of the day, we want every operator to feel like an electronic logbook makes their job easier. To do that, your electronic logbook needs to conform to the way you do business, not the other way around. It should work how you work. (We don’t want your operators to hate you, either.)

Myth #2: Electronic logbooks are going to be too hard to learn.

eLogger is built by operators, for operators. And with thousands of operators making new logs every day, we speak with some authority when we say it won’t be too hard to learn. The system is intuitive, prompting your operators to organize your information the way it makes sense for your operation. Training is a hands-on process, in which your administrative users will learn by doing, and configure your logbook while they do it. And afterward, if they ever get hung up, they can always reach out for help, or more advanced training.

The worst complaint we routinely get is that now, operators never have a pen in their pocket anymore.

Myth #3: We don’t have time for a big change like migrating to electronic logbooks.

Installing electronic logbook software doesn’t have to take months. Deploying it doesn’t, either. The truth is, you’re already keeping logs, and those can be recreated in eLogger (likely, with some improvements) as you’re ready to add them. Start off by making eLogger a logbook. Add the fancier stuff (connect your logs to PI, or SCADA, for example) later, or on an as-needed basis. For most of our clients, being up and running within just a few weeks of installation is a completely reasonable expectation.

Ask the folks in purchasing: it probably takes longer to requisition a new coffee vendor.

Myth #4: Electronic logbooks will require too much from our IT department.

At eLogger, every single company we’ve spoken to is worried that their IT department will struggle with an electronic log. We have to assume this is based on experience. But eLogger’s electronic logbook software doesn’t require much intervention from IT, and even less ongoing assistance from IT. Moreover, most of the systems and hardware necessary are industry standards- you probably have them already. At eLogger, most of our system administrators are operators. The rule generally is that if you’re good at being an operator, you’ll be good at building eLogger. No IT required.

Myth #5: We already have Excel, PI, or other systems- why do we need one more?

If you have any or all of these systems, we applaud you. And in fact, eLogger can create some pretty awesome combined reports, using those systems. But what our clients tell us is missing with these systems alone is narrative. The daily doings of the facility- rounds reporting, manual checks, personal accounts of the day’s activities. Your CMMS might tell you that a pump has been replaced three times in the last year, but not that one of those times was because Tom (or Tonya) ran into it with a forklift. Combining those activities with the data retrieved from other, automated systems can provide an unprecedented vista from which to view your operation. eLogger can fill in the gaps between disjointed systems as one place where your information and your operators meet to tell the story of how your facility is operating. Automatic data readings aren’t logbooks: If our dads taught us anything, it’s that when your job calls for a hammer, you don’t use a crescent wrench.

Myth #6: Our IT can just build an electronic logbook for us.

We don’t doubt the incredible talent and creativity of your IT department, but – not to put too fine a point on it – we’ve been doing this for 20 years. Creating a stable, effective platform that grows easily with changing regulations and actual operational needs (so the software works like you work, not the other way around) is a full-time job. Several, in fact- eLogger has a full staff of programmers whose focus is divided between what our clients are saying they need and how to make that happen in the software in ways everyone can benefit from. We release an updated version every 12 months, on average. We’re not doing that to see if people are paying attention- we’re doing it because that’s the pace that software/regulations change. Not to mention our team of support staff, here to help you solve difficult problems and make sure you stay up and running, all the time.

See, at elogger, logbook software is all we do. We’re not burdened by other IT issues, along with the demands of all the departments of the whole facility. We just do this one thing, with the intention of doing it better than anyone else.

If it’s any consolation, we’re lousy at generating power, treating water, or anything aerospace.

Myth #7: An electronic logbook will only be good for one part of my business.

Guess how many times we’ve heard, “but we only use logbooks in our (INSERT NAME OF DEPARTMENT HERE.)” Okay, we don’t have an exact tally, but seriously, SO MANY TIMES. And generally, we believe what our clients tell us about their businesses. After all, like we said, we’re good at electronic logbooks, but we’re just terrible at power generation (or water treatment). But on this one thing, we’re sure: you’ll be amazed by how many places you can use eLogger.  The bigger issue will be how best to carefully roll eLogger out to all of the applications you’ve found for it, so you don’t overwhelm yourself. But whether it’s safety, inventory, lab, management of change (MOC), deliveries, scheduling, production, payroll, ticketing, security, visitors, or even the annual recipe contest, you can build it in eLogger.

Myth #8: Electronic logbooks are too expensive.

If you’re comparing the cost of electronic logbook software to, say, a physical green ledger logbook, then yes. It’s definitely more (those things cost like fifteen bucks). But it pays you back in some interesting ways:

• You’ll save time. Like the old adage goes, “you have money, people, and time, and time is the only one you can’t get more of.” While it’s hard to put a value on opportunity cost, think of all the projects you’d do right now, with a few more hours in the day. Every day. Of every year, for as long as you use eLogger. It adds up. What will you do with all of that time? We’re willing to bet you can think of a few things.
• You’ll know more. Maybe that will help you save money on equipment, staffing hours, audit penalties, or other costly reporting glitches. (More than one eLogger user has paid for their eLogger installation with defrayed penalties from regulators- easier access to information is worth money, for many of our clients.) How much would be that be worth to your organization? How quickly would you recover your costs? Now imagine those benefits, compounded over one year, or five.
• You’ll streamline your operation for your operators. Using eLogger will certainly make your shift turnover smoother and less prone to omissions and oversights, improving shift-to-shift communication, and making life easier for the people who make your facility run smoothly. Many eLogger clients have reported back that eLogger made them better operators. It’s hard to put a price on that.
• You’ll make proactive, informed decisions. “Hey, why is that bearing 10 degrees hotter all of a sudden? Has this bearing ever run this hot before? How many times and how recently?” Being able to search, query and trend data from a month, year or even 5 years ago, based on various criteria, can help you best plan for upgrades and repairs and/or avoid costly outages and shutdowns.  Dealing with small problems before they develop into bigger problems saves money that can be used for many other things – perhaps purchasing a new piece of equipment that increases efficiency, which will have a long-term impact on profit margin and ultimately competitiveness.  Ask the former smart-phone leader, BlackBerry; proactivity pays.
• You’ll impress your managers, owners, and other stakeholders in measurable ways. Electronic logbooks allow you to easily and quickly send information to whoever it is you’re most concerned about impressing, or with whom you’d like to communicate better.

eLogger recently participated in a hotdish cook-off fund raiser to help the Imagination Library Program through the United Way of Carlton County.  An unexpected thing happened: WE WON! So just in case you want to know what a WINNING hotdish tastes like…we’re attaching the recipe for you.

eLogger attends the Western Turbine Users Inc. (WTUI) conference in Las Vegas which brings together some of the best and brightest plant operators, gas turbine specialists, and others who support this industry.  The WTUI Board once again outdid themselves coordinating the event.

At eLogger, a lot of arguments end up as dares. (This might explain a few other posts we’ve put out, over the years.) We should really know better. What great ideas have EVER come from that?

Here’s what happened. Tracy said we should slide down a hill in a fish-house bottom. Anna said it would break everyone’s necks. BJ and Kevin said you could do it, no problem. Brittany and Jane stirred the pot. Andrew had no comment.  Naturally, the only way to find out for sure was to TRY IT

We are so excited to announce that we are taking eLogger offline with the release of our new product, eLogger Anywhere, available April 3rd. It’s a fully offline version of your electronic logs. You can access the features and flexibility of eLogger anytime and anywhere.

It connects to your eLogger database with the click of a button. You can sync and save the entries when you’re back in network range.

Alameda Health System is using eLogger in their maintenance/engineering operations.

Alameda Health System (AHS), is an integrated public health care system with over 800 beds and 1000 physicians across nine major facilities throughout Alameda County. Founded in 1864 as Alameda County Infirmary, the System has a legacy of commitment to its communities that still serves as its foundation for growth.

As the Twenties roared on, County Supervisors recognized the need for an acute care hospital for the growing community of Oakland. In 1927, Highland Hospital opened its doors with comprehensive services for every resident. Highland even pioneered its own school of nursing, establishing a mission to teach that exists today as a highly competitive graduate-level nursing program on the Highland campus.  The hospital’s clinic building was constructed in 1954, with the acute care building added in 1969.

In the 1990s, Alameda County Medical Center was formed as the result of consolidation among Fairmont Hospital, Highland Hospital, John George Psychiatric Pavilion and the community Wellness Centers. Authority over the Medical Center passed from Alameda County Supervisors in 1998 to an independent Board of Trustees.
