Inspection QR Codes: Making Every Inspection Record Verifiable on the "Code"
Original article: https://cli.im/article/detail/1999
With the widespread adoption of smartphones, QR codes have become ubiquitous in daily life—mobile payments, digital menus, health codes, and travel codes. The Maintenance Project Department of Xineng Company's Nayong Second Plant has also ridden this wave by implementing QR codes for equipment inspections.
Using the CaoLiao QR Code platform, the Electrical Primary Team of Nayong Second Plant Maintenance Department has created hundreds of QR codes distributed across all equipment under their jurisdiction, giving each motor its own "digital ID."
Why QR Codes Were Adopted for Inspections
To better monitor equipment operating conditions, periodic inspections of motors, transformers, booster station equipment, and switch rooms are essential. Traditional methods required printing checklists, manually recording data, and later inputting information into digital systems—a process that wasted paper, increased workloads, and risked data falsification. Historical data retrieval was also cumbersome.
After extensive discussions, the Electrical Primary Team proposed a QR code-based solution. With strong support from project leadership, the Inspection QR Code system was launched.
Traditional Inspection Records
By scanning QR codes with smartphones, inspection parameters are now recorded directly in the system. This has:
- Accelerated paperless office adoption
- Saved time on record updates
- Reduced human resource waste
- Eliminated data falsification risks
- Prevented last-minute record fabrication for audits
All data is stored in the cloud and downloadable as needed. Authorized personnel can access historical records anytime via the CaoLiao QR Code workbench, ensuring transparency, real-time access, efficient management, and collective oversight.
Modern Inspection Records
Outcomes After 3-Month Implementation
During the trial period, the team addressed challenges such as:
- Conflicting inspection criteria requiring adjustments
- Initial user resistance and training needs
- Data entry errors (e.g., incorrect units)
- Skepticism about the new system
The result: Every team member now uses the system effectively, transforming complex inspections into simple, efficient processes. This success has set a precedent for Xineng Company's digital transformation, accelerating the adoption of information-driven operations.
