Loading Log
A guided checklist system for loading products into transport vehicles, ensuring built-in quality and standardized inspection procedures.
What It Does
Loading Log manages each carrier visit as a live transaction through six defined stages, from carrier arrival to departure with a signed BOL. The desktop application runs on a local plant-floor database with continuous background sync — designed for dock environments where network reliability to a central server cannot be guaranteed.
Six-Stage Lifecycle
Each transaction moves through New → Carrier Ready → Loading → Loaded → CoA → Completed, every transition timestamped and user-attributed. The operator enters the carrier number; the system pulls the full order from SSM automatically — customer, products, quantities, lots, and shipping instructions.
Configurable Carrier Inspections
Tank Wagons complete the TWIF form, Railcars the RCIF, Box Trucks the BTIF — each covering before/after loading sections with prior cargo compatibility validation. Inspection blocking is configurable per carrier type: operators cannot advance to Loading until the pre-load section is started if TWIFBlockBeforeLoading is set.
Pre-Completion Validation
Before a transaction closes, a validation screen checks every required condition simultaneously: BOL generated, weights entered, seals recorded, lots assigned, CoA attached, all co-ship samples logged. Co-ship samples flow to the QCM lab queue automatically. The driver signs the BOL electronically; the transaction closes with an immutable departure record.
Additive Calculator & Web Visibility
For products with additive BOM parameters, the calculator reads formulas from PDM and computes required quantities against the actual net weight being loaded — the same formula driving upstream planning in PDM and SSM. Six Loading Log web screens give supervisors real-time transaction status, weights, and lot numbers without accessing the desktop application.
