What is a digital checklist in the EZ-GO platform?

A digital checklist in EZ-GO is a step-by-step procedure, such as a changeover, startup, shutdown, or shift handover, that operators carry out on the floor through the app, with photos, videos, and work instructions at every step. Operators and team leads sign off digitally, deviations are reported immediately, and everyone always has the latest version of the standard on hand through the content management system (CMS).

A checked box doesn't prove a step was actually carried out

Do you recognize the blind check marks on the shop floor? Vertical lines drawn straight through the checkboxes and a scribbled signature at the bottom, just to be done. Or five different colored pens on a half-filled form, quickly touched up right before the audit.

That turns standardization into a paperwork exercise, and you have no idea whether a changeover, startup, or shutdown was actually carried out according to the standard, until the moment it goes wrong.

Why does one changeover take twenty minutes, and another take thirty?

Without a fixed, digital standard, execution depends on who happens to be on the line that day.

  • That difference costs you
  • Unpredictable startup time
  • Missed quality checks
  • In the worst case, a safety incident because a step got skipped

How do we know standardization on the floor really works?

EZ-GO was built by people who spent years working with operators on the shop floor themselves, and saw how a paper checklist became a formality within a few weeks instead of a real safeguard. That's why the Checklist Module was built to be used, not just checked off.

How you go from paper forms to a standard you can trust

  1. 1

    Build your checklist to fit your process.

    Changeover, startup, shutdown, shift handover, or LOTOTO, with photos, videos, and work instructions at every step.

  2. 2

    Have operators and team leads sign off digitally.

    At every location and every shift, without paper or a scanner.

  3. 3

    See deviations immediately.

    Share the correct, up-to-date standard across all your production lines and locations.

What it gets you

Safety that doesn't depend on who's on shift

Everyone works to the same, up-to-date standard, with safety steps like LOTOTO that can't be skipped.

Quality you can prove

Prevent critical steps from being skipped during changeover, startup, or shutdown, and see a deviation the moment it occurs.

More control, less hassle

A reliable startup that always takes the same amount of time, instead of one operator needing twenty minutes and another needing thirty.

Knowledge that sticks

New operators see exactly what to do, with photos and videos instead of a paper binder.

Finally, a changeover that doesn't depend on the operator

You no longer have to guess why one line finishes a changeover in twenty minutes and another takes thirty. With a digital checklist, the standard is fixed, including photos and videos, so every operator carries out the same steps the same way.

One standard, rolled out across the whole plant

Build a checklist once, and share the correct, up-to-date version across every shift, team, and production line. No more scattered spreadsheets or outdated paper versions floating around.

How other plants use checklists in EZ-GO

Every industry starts from a different pain point. These are the results customers use the module for:

DairyAutonomous maintenance carried out consistently, even with a changing workforce.
Food & BeverageHigh standards that stay consistent across every shift.
ChemicalQuality that's demonstrably assured per batch.
Steel & ConstructionMore control over checks and housekeeping, resulting in better safety for your people.
Pharma & HealthcareHigher productivity and operators who are trained faster.

This is how we future-proof our processes and make them scalable.

What checklists in EZ-GO are and aren't

Yes

  • ✓Digital checklists
  • ✓Changeover, startup, shutdown, and shift handover
  • ✓Digital sign-off by operator and team lead
  • ✓Turning a deviation found during a step into an action, with an owner and a date
  • ✓Building and sharing templates across locations

No

  • –Verification and after-the-fact compliance checks; that's the audits page
  • –Long-running task follow-up across multiple days; that's task management
  • –Recurring autonomous maintenance tasks on a fixed rhythm; that's task management
  • –Standalone follow-up of a deviation or improvement idea; that's the actions module

A checklist records that the step was taken. If an operator runs into something during that step, it becomes an action with a name and a date attached, instead of a comment left at handover.

The questions you're asking, answered in advance

Does it take a lot of time to set up a checklist?

No. You can easily build a template yourself, with photos, videos, and work instructions, and update it whenever the process changes.

Does this work across multiple shifts and locations?

Yes. You share the same, up-to-date standard across multiple production lines and locations, and everyone works from the latest version.

What does it actually deliver?

You can calculate your savings on checklists in the savings calculator.
