QR Codes for Registration and Distribution in Universities
Original article: https://cli.im/article/detail/1846
We are gradually exploring QR code applications, and the forms feature works exceptionally well. Currently, we use it for various statistical purposes. The next step will be implementing printed QR code labels on hazardous chemicals after receiving the stickers.
Our forms integrate multiple elements: MSDS (Material Safety Data Sheets), recipient information, contact details, activation dates, gross weights, etc. The forms functionality also records each usage quantity of hazardous chemicals. The signature feature ensures accurate user identification. After form submission, two administrators can approve requests via Mini Program, saving significant time compared to manual tracking.
For large equipment management, we integrate usage request forms and maintenance application forms into QR codes. This enables mobile approval processes and real-time equipment inspections. Any malfunctions trigger immediate engineer notifications.
Custom-developed management systems with these capabilities would cost tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands RMB. By purchasing the Flagship Edition (supporting 20 collaborators) for just over 10,000 RMB, we fully meet our requirements while saving substantial institutional funds. Leadership particularly appreciates the cost-effectiveness reflected in approval documents.
Suggested Improvement:
Implement group-based QR code management where each professor has a master code, with subordinate codes for their specific hazardous chemicals. This hierarchical structure would enhance management efficiency.
User Feedback:
While most solutions can be found through official website searches, adding explanatory videos accessible via QR code scanning would significantly assist users with reading difficulties. A brief audio-visual guide could convey key information more effectively than lengthy text descriptions, while maintaining optional access for different user needs.
