Cruncher & Git

Hey, I've been thinking about a way to keep track of every part change on those rigs and make sure we don't miss a scheduled tune‑up. Got any ideas on how we could structure that so it's both precise and easy to roll out on a team?
Cruncher
Sure thing. Keep a paper log for each rig and put a barcode or RFID tag on every part. When you pull a part out, scan it, note the date, the replacement number and the crew that did it. Then have a simple spreadsheet or a cloud sheet that pulls those scans and flags when the next tune‑up is due. Add a checklist for the crew to tick off each scheduled service, and set a reminder in the system a week before the date. That way nobody can skip a tune‑up and every change is in the records.

Sounds solid, but I’d add a version column in the sheet so we can see exactly which firmware or software version each part runs. That way if something breaks we can trace it back to a specific update. Also, a quick audit log that flags entries made outside of shift hours might catch any accidental skips. Keep it tight, no fluff.

Nice touch, adding the version column keeps us locked in. And an audit flag for off‑shift entries? That’s a good guard. Just keep the sheet light – no extra fields that slow the crew down. Make it a one‑page spreadsheet, pull in the scans, and let the system do the flagging. Easy to roll out and hard to miss a change.

Glad that hits the mark—just keep the sheet as streamlined as possible. A single tab, the barcode, date, crew, part ID, firmware version, and the auto‑flag columns will do. If we ever need to tweak the format, we’ll do it in a separate branch and merge once the crew is comfortable. Easy to maintain, hard to miss.

Sounds good. Keep it tight, no extra columns. That way the crew can scan and fill it out in a minute, and the system will catch any off‑shift slips. Easy to keep track and hard to miss.
