Question 1

What is LineSide packaging troubleshooting?

Accepted Answer

A shop-floor first-pass aid for bottle, blister, and encapsulation equipment. Techs walk a yes/no tree from a jam, no print, seal leak, or torque fail instead of guessing.

Question 2

Does LineSide automatically create a LOTO procedure?

Accepted Answer

No. The site types isolation notes (SOP number, lockbox, lock points). Catalog energy reminders are typical only. Posted lockout tagout SOP still owns the isolation list.

Question 3

Can a plant upload its own SOPs, manuals, and schematics?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Engineer and Admin put this plant’s controlled SOP copies, equipment manuals, licensed OEM PDFs, and site schematics in the vault and on the machine card. Other companies cannot see them.

Question 4

How much does a LineSide site license cost?

Accepted Answer

$1,490 / year per plant. 40-day trial to upload materials and test. After that, pay to keep uploading. Diagnose, Safety, and reading Docs still work if you do not.

Question 5

Is LineSide a 21 CFR Part 11 or CMMS system?

Accepted Answer

No. Training aid only. Not 21 CFR Part 11, not official LOTO, not a CMMS or work-order system, not the executed batch record.
