Inspection QR Codes Enable Comprehensive Equipment Management

Original: https://cli.im/article/detail/1944

The company's auxiliary vertical shaft hoist is primarily responsible for lifting personnel, materials, equipment, and large items. During daily inspections, issues such as inconvenient supervision, inadequate checks, delayed fault responses, and difficulties in data management often arise. To effectively address these challenges, the No. 2 Machinery and Transportation Team recently developed a "Smart QR Code" inspection solution, achieving comprehensive control over the auxiliary vertical shaft hoist equipment.

The Smart QR Code system implements a "one machine, one code" policy for all equipment in the auxiliary vertical shaft. The No. 2 Machinery and Transportation Team established 9 inspection points for the hoist, each assigned to a responsible operator. These 9 points form an inspection route managed by the team leader in charge of the auxiliary vertical shaft hoist. The overall team leader is responsible for all equipment in the auxiliary vertical shaft hoisting system, creating a three-dimensional management framework that combines "points, lines, and surfaces."

The equipment QR codes contain essential information such as basic equipment details, operation manuals, and technical documentation. Instead of searching through physical records, personnel can simply scan the code to access the information. Inspection and maintenance staff scan the codes, verify items against the checklist one by one, and record their work, gradually building a dynamic equipment archive. Managers can either scan the codes directly or log into the workbench to review historical equipment data at any time. When production equipment encounters issues, employees can report them by scanning the code with their phones, accurately submitting equipment hazards and faults through text, images, audio, or video. The system automatically notifies maintenance and management personnel immediately, reducing equipment downtime. Both repair requests and maintenance activities are logged for easy follow-up by management.

"Using QR codes for smart inspections not only eliminates false or missed checks but also allows timely feedback to maintenance staff when equipment abnormalities or potential hazards are detected. This ensures prompt on-site responses, maintains the hoist's safe and stable operation, and significantly reduces paper waste from record-keeping," said Huang Yuxing, head of the maintenance team in the No. 2 Machinery and Transportation Team.
