PlantLog-MERN

PlantLog-MERN is a full-stack industrial operations platform for asset registration, maintenance logging, and shift-level incident tracking. It packages a React frontend, Node/Express backend, and MongoDB deployment model into a portfolio-ready operations product.

Why this project exists

Many plants still split maintenance history, incident notes, and asset data across spreadsheets, paper logs, and disconnected internal tools. PlantLog-MERN demonstrates how a modern operations platform can centralize those workflows for supervisors, technicians, and plant managers.

What it does

• Maintains a centralized industrial asset registry.
• Tracks maintenance, operational, and incident logs in a structured workflow.
• Supports role-based access patterns for administrators and operators.
• Separates frontend and backend concerns for a realistic product architecture.
• Ships with Docker-based local orchestration for end-to-end evaluation.

Architecture snapshot

• Frontend: React, TypeScript, Vite, Zustand, Tailwind CSS
• Backend: Node.js, Express, TypeScript, Mongoose
• Data layer: MongoDB
• Infrastructure: Docker and Docker Compose

Repository highlights

• frontend/src/services/api.ts centralizes API access for the client.
• backend/src contains the Express and MongoDB application layer.
• docs/ contains UI captures and demo collateral.

Portfolio note

This repository is intended as a realistic B2B operations software concept. It demonstrates full-stack product structure and workflow design more than polished production hardening.
