QR Code-Based Inspection: Cloud Management for Equipment Development at Eastern Company

Original article: https://cli.im/article/detail/1977

At Eastern Company's Mayao Power Supply Station, technicians update backend data through mobile phone QR code scanning after completing safety inspections on electric kettles. This innovative approach forms part of their equipment management optimization efforts, implementing "cloud management" through mobile smart systems for electrical appliances like water dispensers and heaters. Each device's safety data now supports real-time on-site updates and traceable digital records, combining environmental sustainability with operational efficiency.

Traditional paper-based inspection forms faced challenges:

  • Physical forms attached with adhesive often degraded or detached over time
  • Moisture damage compromised water dispenser inspection records
  • Limited capacity for detailed equipment documentation

The solution emerged through QR code technology:

  • Digital inspection forms stored in the cloud
  • Mobile-accessible records via QR code scanning
  • Plastic-laminated QR codes resistant to environmental factors
  • Centralized weekly data collection by managers

Key improvements include:

  1. Customizable inspection interfaces per device
  2. Cloud-stored equipment parameters and maintenance history
  3. Instant fault diagnosis through QR code scanning
  4. Automatic cloud synchronization of inspection data

Operational enhancements:

  • Eliminated manual data consolidation from dispersed sites
  • Real-time equipment status updates to managers' devices
  • Streamlined statistical analysis through automated reporting

After successful pilot testing on water dispensers, Mayao Power Supply Station plans full implementation across:

  • Company guard booths
  • Cable systems
  • Navigation beacons
  • Power distribution cabinets

Implementation Notes

  • Utilized bulk QR codes generation by importing equipment data from Excel
  • Incorporated inspection forms into QR codes for device-specific data collection
  • Employed label layout functionality for batch template generation
  • Printed on PVC adhesive labels for durable field application
