How to Integrate QR Codes with Equipment Management to Simplify Tool and Equipment Control
Original article: https://cli.im/article/detail/1861
Innovation serves as the fundamental driving force for enterprise development and operational progress, as well as a core value of our company. Last year, we achieved transformative results in facility equipment management innovation through QR code applications.
The concept of applying QR codes to equipment management originated from a regional company director's proposal: "In this big data era, scanning codes has become an efficient way of working. Integrating QR codes with equipment management could simplify complex control processes for tools and equipment." This led to the development of our "one-code-per-object" system for regional facility management.
During spring implementation, our Logistics Department conducted on-site testing of equipment QR codes at office building equipment rooms. After two weeks of data entry and system configuration, critical equipment including air handling units, circulating pumps, and transformers received their digital identities through QR code labels.
By scanning these codes via WeChat, users can instantly access comprehensive equipment information including:
- Technical specifications
- Maintenance status
- Installation location
- Inspection records
This innovation eliminates manual record-checking and streamlines inspection workflows for both equipment owners and maintenance staff.
The system features real-time updates for inspection reports and maintenance data. Second-phase implementation is underway across multiple facilities including staff cafeterias, residential complexes, and coal preparation plants.
After three weeks of successful implementation, we've achieved:
- Effective integration of QR technology with asset management
- Enhanced regional equipment management capabilities
- Transition from paper-based to digital workflows ("data mobility replaces staff legwork")
Our regional manager outlined future plans:
- Full QR code coverage for all equipment
- Enhanced code durability solutions
- Expanded applications including:
- Digital satisfaction surveys for dining and accommodation services
- Intelligent facility management system development
- Service brand enhancement through technological innovation
