Honestly, I used to hate dealing with old relay logic controllers. Spent a whole afternoon in a 1980s building in St. Louis last week tracing a single fault. Now I just take a quick video of the ladder diagram with my phone before I start. When did you guys switch from paper prints to digital?

Yeah, the video trick is smart... but what happens when you're in a spot with no service and your phone dies? I had that happen under an old conveyor belt last month. Had to walk all the way back to the truck just to check a print. Do you keep a backup, like a cheap tablet with just PDFs on it?

Tablets hold up okay around grease and grime?

Our 2007 retrofit finally convinced me to keep a tablet in the toolbox.
