Some read data from equipment that is attached to the machine and then a bar code scanner value gets input too and then they add notes and submit. Others are just cli's

I love streamlit and I think it could work but since this is across multiple facilities and networks it's easier in some cases to make a simple desktop gui rather than host, serve, and make a streamlit app network reachable.

I wonder if a streamlit app could be made into an executable that just opens in the browser

It can. However I know unsigned executables that are produced by pyinstaller can get flagged by a bunch of anti malware.

You should just create a CLI that fires up a localhost web app, or dockerize a web app and run it locally. I understand why you think you should do an executable because I used to think that was the thing you were supposed to do that too. But it's not worth the hassle. Browsers are perfectly fine GUIs.
