Outdated Equipment Information? Hard-to-Supervise Inspection Processes? One QR Code Solves It All
Original article: https://cli.im/article/detail/1895
As enterprises continuously upgrade their equipment, the increasing variety and quantity of devices has led to multiple management challenges: delayed information updates, cumbersome data retrieval, slow maintenance notifications, inefficient repairs, delayed spare parts supply, difficulties in supervising inspection processes, inefficient warranty procedures, and unplanned equipment maintenance. To address these issues, Comrade Cao Xuelong, Party Branch Secretary of the Calcium Carbide Division in Jinni Chemical Industry, collaborated with workshop technical experts to develop a comprehensive equipment management system.
Smart QR Code Implementation Unleashes System Capabilities
This management system collects fundamental equipment data and operational metrics through four key aspects:
- Equipment archive management
- Equipment maintenance management
- Spare parts management
- Equipment inspection record management
It enables real-time statistical analysis, helping enterprises transition from paper-based operations to digital equipment management.
The system generates dedicated QR codes for each device. These codes are physically attached to corresponding equipment, allowing employees to:
- Scan with smartphones for instant access to device information (specifications, manuals, maintenance history)
- Initiate online service requests
- Enable multi-scenario applications in future equipment management
Micro-Optimizations Drive Enterprise Efficiency
The Calcium Carbide Workshop has achieved:
- One-to-one device coding
- Streamlined repair/maintenance workflows
- Preventive maintenance scheduling
- Efficient inspection processes
- Optimized spare parts management
- Comprehensive equipment analytics
This implementation has:
- Simplified data querying, sharing, and statistical operations
- Enabled standardized lean management practices
- Unleashed the true value of equipment data through digitization
- Delivered transformative cost-efficiency improvements for traditional manufacturing enterprises
