Notebook and pen, iPad diary, whiteboard marker on the ute window: everyone has a system for recording what they saw and remembering what they need to check. What if you had a personal assistant to take care of it instead? Say it or type it. MyShift.Expert tracks your notes, plus where and when you said them. It can alert you as you approach an area where there's something you need to check, and it will even ask you about the things you've missed before you leave the area. Towards the end of shift, it helps you draft your reports from the notes you made throughout the shift.
A typical day at the mine.
The last OCE's handover is already on your device: everything they left open, with pins and photos. Steve's sump pump and the south ramp windrow are on the map before you leave the go-line. It knows the equipment, the areas and what still needs a look. The mine record still gets your signature, same as before. Now you know what you're looking for.
Press to start, talk, press to stop. Or type it. "Crack on the north wall still there, about 1 m long." As little as you want or the whole story, it's up to you. Add a photo or two if it helps, whatever you think you'll need for your end-of-shift inspection report later. Your location when you make the observation is recorded, so you can see it on a map later. Works from the ute, standing on the blast pattern or in the equipment seat, with or without coverage, wearing gloves, a truck idling beside you.
Device in the cradle, app open. Come within range of something flagged and it alerts you. If you're interested, one tap and it reads you a summary of the known hazard. Want to know more? Ask it. It will read you the previous inspection notes: who first found the hazard, how long it has been around, what has changed recently. Maybe you've inspected this hazard before? Do you want to see the photos taken previously? Once you're satisfied and have made your inspection today, record what you find. Add a new photo, make a note of what actions need to happen, confident the app will remind you when it's time to write your report.
Leaving an area, your assistant alerts you and grabs your attention. Your choice: do you want to know what it's got to say? Yes. Press a button. The assistant reminds you there's a known hazard close by, you haven't made a comment about it, and you're leaving the area. Conveyor CV101, noisy roller reported last shift. Should you go and take a look?
You're driving to a new area. Your assistant wants your attention. If you've got time, find out what it wants. It's 3:15 pm, only a few hours left in your shift. At the start of shift you made some notes of what you wanted to inspect. There are a few items you haven't talked about yet. Do you want to hear them as a reminder? There may be time to get a final inspection in. Perhaps you did complete some of those inspections but were too busy at the time to make a comment. Now might be a great time to talk it through and make a record of what you saw, ready for inclusion in the shift-end report.
Time to write the inspection report. What did I do? Where did I go? What did I see, and what actions do I need to let someone know about? The app prompts you: one final check of what's still missing. Then you write the report. It's still yours to write. You just don't write it from memory, and nothing is forgotten.
The handover goes to your swap, and you pick what's in it. Separately, every note has a switch at the top: private or shared. If other OCEs on site are using it, a shared note, with its photos and pin, reaches whoever is keeping an eye on the machine or place it mentions. You choose, note by note. Keep the rest for yourself: personal reminders, projects you're working on, observations that aren't serious enough to be reported as a hazard yet, that sort of thing.
The pump that isn't right, the delivery that turned up, the part on order, the wall you want to look at again. MyShift.Expert is for all of that. The statutory records stay exactly where they are.
Fair question. You already feed the inspection report, the mine record, and the site's production and hazard systems. MyShift.Expert doesn't add a fifth. It collects what you see once, in the ute, while you're looking at it. At the end of the shift everything you said, photographed and pinned is laid out by where it needs to go, so writing each of those reports is quick. If you want, let your AI take a first pass at it and you check it. Think of it as intelligent data collection for the systems you already have: better notes going in, better reports coming out, and less of your evening spent rebuilding the day from a window, a notebook and memory.
One note at 10:42 is on hand for the inspection report, the production system, the next OCE's handover and your own reminder for tomorrow. Said once, ready for each.
No site install, no integration project, no admin console. It's an app on your device and a button. Delete it tomorrow and every system on site is exactly as it was.
The end-of-shift sit-down gets shorter. Instead of reconstructing the day, you have every note, photo and location in front of you, sorted by where it goes, and you write from that. The only new job is pressing a button when you see something, and you were writing that on the window anyway.
Which truck? Flag that for tomorrow? It never asks twice, "not now" waits until end of shift, and you can turn it off altogether.
Private or shared, by tap or by saying so. Share your note on DOZ101 and anyone on site keeping an eye on DOZ101 hears about it. Notes about a person start private, and the app never shares them for you.
Everything is captured on the device and synced when it finds a signal. Usually on the way out of the pit.
It's yours, not the site's. Your device, your account, your recordings. Nothing goes anywhere until you send it.
