This Solution Boosts Equipment Management Efficiency by 10x

Original article: https://cli.im/article/detail/2036

In environments like workshops and factories with dense goods and personnel, fire safety requirements are stringent. Fire equipment management remains a core responsibility for manufacturing enterprises.

Effective fire facility management requires ensuring daily inspection validity, timely response to equipment failures, and data analysis to identify root causes, reduce recurrence risks, and lower maintenance costs.

However, practical implementation often encounters these challenges, hindering efficiency improvements and cost reductions:

Frontline inspectors/maintenance personnel:

• Paper-based inspection records lead to documentation and archiving difficulties, requiring duplicate work due to lost forms
• Verbal fault reports cause omissions/errors and location inaccuracies
• Repetitive progress reporting to supervisors with frequent follow-up requests

Management personnel:

• Unable to verify inspection authenticity with non-standardized form collection
• Manual data entry from paper records to spreadsheets wastes time
• Lack of holistic status analysis leads to frequent equipment failures and high maintenance costs

Now, the paperless, automated, and visual fire equipment management solution resolves all these challenges! Leveraging Tencent Cloud Hiflow Scenario Connector, CaoLiao QR Codes, and DataFocus, this solution optimizes inspection workflows and data analysis. Implementation delivers closed-loop processes with 10x efficiency gains.

Zero cost, deployable in 1 day – let's explore:

01 Implementation Results

Frontline staff scan QR codes on fire equipment to submit forms, with data automatically synced to DataFocus tables. Managers monitor equipment status dashboards on any device, track anomalies, analyze failure causes and maintenance costs for timely optimization.

• Digital ID for equipment: Unique QR code per device enables inspections, maintenance, and fault reporting
• Automated data collection: Tencent Cloud HiFlow connects CaoLiao QR Code data to DataFocus for real-time updates
• Visual status monitoring: Equipment quantities, operational status, inspection records, failure causes, and maintenance costs visualized dynamically

02 3-Step Configuration

CaoLiao QR Codes: Paperless Inspections & Digital IDs

1. Search template library for "Fire Hydrant Management-DataFocus", "Fire Extinguisher Management-DataFocus", or "Alarm Management-DataFocus"
2. Save templates to your account and generate QR codes
3. Batch upload device info via Excel or online forms. Each QR code serves as equipment's digital profile – scan to view specs and historical data

Modern Inspection & Fault Reporting

Personnel scan QR codes to complete inspections via mobile forms containing device name, ID, check items, and location details. Emergency teams quickly locate faulty equipment using precise positioning data.

Tencent Cloud Hiflow: Data Automation

1. Create workflow in Hiflow with trigger "New form submission" from CaoLiao QR Codes
2. Copy generated webhook URL and configure in CaoLiao backend > Data API settings
3. Test workflow with sample form submission

DataFocus: Visual Management

Use built-in fire equipment management template to create 360° monitoring dashboards. Simply replace sample data with your datasets.

03 1-Day Deployment, Revolutionary Upgrade

This paperless, automated, and visual solution resolves equipment management pain points. The auto-updating dashboard delivers 10x efficiency gains.
