How to Combine "QR Codes" with Equipment Management to Simplify Tool and Equipment Control
Original: https://cli.im/article/detail/1861

Innovation is the fundamental driving force behind enterprise development and progress, and it is also one of the core values of our company. Last year, through the application of "QR codes" in facility and equipment management, we achieved transformative results in innovative facility and equipment management.

The idea of applying "QR codes" to facility and equipment management originated from a suggestion by the regional company's director: "In the era of 'big data,' scanning QR codes has become a convenient and efficient way of working and living. Combining 'QR codes' with equipment management to simplify tool and equipment control is a current means and direction for innovation in facility and equipment management." Thus, the concept of "one item, one code" for regional company facilities and equipment was born.

In the spring, as the lead and implementation department for the "QR code" initiative in the regional company, the Logistics Support Department conducted on-site experiments with "equipment QR codes" in the office building's water-source heat pump room. Through the efforts of management personnel, air conditioning units, circulating water pumps, distribution boxes, transformers, and buffer tanks were gradually equipped with new "labels." After nearly half a month of data entry, report editing, and other preliminary work, the "one item, one code" system for some equipment was completed and installed.
No matter where the equipment is located, scanning the QR code with a mobile phone via WeChat allows for information tracing. After scanning, all information about the equipment—such as rated parameters, inspection status, usage location, and inspection status—can be viewed clearly on the phone. QR codes not only greatly facilitate the work of owners and inspection personnel, simplifying complex tasks, but also eliminate the need for consulting original documents and filling out inspection records.

As equipment inspection reports and other documents are continuously updated, the data backend for "one item, one code" is also being updated in real time. Facility and equipment management has been integrated into a vast network. The second batch of QR codes will gradually be installed in various work locations, including the mine cafeteria, Long'an cafeteria, the coal preparation plant's water-source heat pump room, and the mine's single dormitory water-source heat pump room.
After more than half a month of effort and exploration, our company has not only achieved the effective integration of "QR code" applications and equipment management but has also continuously enhanced the regional company's equipment management capabilities. The regional company manager stated that this year, QR code-based equipment management will be gradually expanded. Facility and equipment management has successfully bridged the gap of rigid management practices, achieving the innovative principle of "data does the legwork, work requires less running around." The next step is to further promote and expand the use of equipment QR codes, continuously refine and enhance their functionality, and explore new application areas and scenarios. Examples include using QR codes for employee satisfaction surveys in cafeterias and guest room accommodation feedback. Additionally, efforts will be made to improve the wear resistance of QR codes, seek solutions for equipment management and technological innovation, and support Taixing Company's intelligent development in facility and equipment management, thereby strengthening the Taixing service brand.
