About Infotechnics

Specialists in operational information for 24/7 process industries

When your plant runs around the clock, every shift needs a clear picture. We work with teams in complex, often hazardous environments to keep operating information connected across people, departments and shifts.

Who we are

Infotechnics is a UK software company. We develop Opralog for operational logging and digital shift handover, and Mobilog for mobile operator rounds and inspections.

Behind the software is a team you can get to know and call on. We work closely with our customers from the first setup through years of everyday use.

01 / Customers

Trusted by operators worldwide

We work with some of the world’s largest energy, oil and gas operators, helping their teams manage operational information across sites and shifts.

A maintenance update, a field observation or a decision made overnight can matter well beyond the team that recorded it. Our software keeps that information available to the people who need to act on it.

02 / History

Working on the next handover since 1999

Infotechnics was established in 1999. We started with electronic logbooks that operators used to record what happened during their shift and pass it to the next team.

The software has grown from there. Opralog now brings together operational logbooks, handovers, registers, actions and reporting. Mobilog extends that record to rounds and inspections in the field.

Some of our customers have been with us since the early 2000s. We’ve continued working with them as their operations and requirements have changed. Those relationships give us a practical understanding of what teams need from the software, and from the people supporting it.

03 / What we do

More than a logbook. Focused on plant operations.

A record of events is useful. It becomes more useful when teams can see the context, follow up the work and carry it through to the next handover.

That’s where Opralog fits. It combines the structure of an enterprise system with a specific focus on day-to-day operational work. It sits alongside your plant systems, bringing together the observations, decisions and operating information your teams need to share.

One record for the people running your site

Operations, maintenance, lab, commercial, HSE and management teams can all use Opralog. A lab result or a maintenance update belongs in the wider operating picture, where other teams can find it and understand what it means for their work.

Field information belongs there too

Mobilog is our mobile app for operator rounds and inspections on iOS and Android. It connects field readings, observations, defects and photographs with the operational record in Opralog. It works online and offline: records are synchronised immediately when connected, or kept on the device until a connection returns.

Configure it around the work you do

Your trained superusers can configure logbooks, forms and workflows. Set up a handover template for each operating area, a register of long-term inhibits or a form for equipment checks. Use common standards across sites, with room for local requirements.

Bring in the plant data you need

Opralog can bring information from plant historians such as AVEVA PI, maintenance systems and permit-to-work systems into the operational record. We agree what needs to be exchanged and how it will work with your systems. Tell us which systems you use and what information you need, and we’ll work out the best approach with you.

04 / The people behind Infotechnics

People you can get to know. Support you can count on.

You’ll work directly with people who know the software and take the time to understand your operation. Our core team has been with Infotechnics for many years. That experience stays with the business and with the customers we support.

We’re easy to reach. When you have a question, need help or want to change how you use the system, you can talk it through with someone who knows the product. We listen, work through the detail and follow through on what we agree.

Most of our business comes through word of mouth. We work hard to earn those recommendations through useful software, close working relationships and support that continues long after go-live.

08 / Next step

What would you like to improve?

Perhaps your handovers take too long to prepare. Field observations are hard to follow up. Or each site records the same information differently.

Tell us what’s getting in the way. We’ll discuss whether Opralog fits your requirements and show you how it could work for your team.
