Wuhan Municipal Group Tunnel Engineering Company: Using QR Codes to Boost Safety in Production
Original: https://cli.im/article/detail/2042
The Wuhan Rail Transit Line 12 Liaison Line Project Department, under Wuhan Municipal Group Tunnel Engineering Company, has been actively exploring efficient and precise on-site construction management models. By innovatively applying "QR code" technology, they have transformed these codes into handy assistants on the construction site, laying a solid foundation for intelligent and standardized management of construction operations.
Power Distribution Cabinet Inspection QR Codes
Electricians scan the QR codes on power distribution cabinets to inspect the condition of the electrical boxes, take photos, and upload them to create inspection records. This process ensures that the inspection status of the distribution cabinets is accurately reported. Safety managers then review the inspection results through backend records, implementing the routine inspection protocols for distribution cabinets and achieving "genuine inspections."

Safety Production Grid Management Check-in Points
The project department has implemented zonal control over the site, ensuring comprehensive coverage, tiered responsibilities, dynamic management, and accountability to individuals. Managers conduct daily on-site patrols and check-ins, meticulously identifying potential safety hazards, preventing and resolving issues, and overseeing all aspects of on-site construction safety to mitigate risks in real time.

Fire Equipment Identification
QR codes are affixed to firefighting equipment, with each inspection point corresponding to a unique code containing specific information such as the type, validity period, and serial number of fire extinguishers and hydrants. During routine inspections, personnel simply scan the QR codes on fire extinguishers and hydrants with their mobile phones to perform checks quickly and conveniently. If any issues, such as damage or pressure loss, are detected, inspectors can report them in real time by scanning the code, significantly reducing information transmission time.

Hard Hat QR Codes
QR codes on hard hats contain essential information about on-site workers, including their name, team, trade, ID number, contact details, entry date, and records of three-level safety education. By scanning the QR code with a mobile phone, this information becomes immediately accessible. The "one person, one code" system serves as an "identity card" for workers and can also be used to dynamically update safety technical briefings and training records.

These small "QR codes" not only bring a new dimension to the "smart construction site" but also greatly facilitate real-time supervision by higher authorities and the project's own dynamic management. They establish a traceable lifelong accountability system, effectively ensuring the quality and safety of the engineering project.
Moving forward, the project department plans to introduce customized "QR codes" into every aspect of production management. The content covered by the QR codes will be continuously updated according to project progress, enabling all participants to quickly and comprehensively understand project information and further promoting the standardization of engineering project construction.
