Experienced Inspector Shares: How to Efficiently Manage Thousands of Fire Extinguishers

Original: https://cli.im/article/detail/2222

Our organization has a large number of firefighting equipment distributed across multiple areas, with varying annual inspection dates, expiration times, and manufacturers. Previously using paper record cards proved inefficient and fragile. Each inspection required manual checks with pen and paper - time-consuming, error-prone, and nearly impossible for data analysis as all information needed manual data entry.

To solve these challenges, our department adopted CaoLiao QR Code last year after evaluating several no-code platforms, building an efficient fire extinguisher management system with its simple and free features.

Generating 1000 QR Codes in 10 Minutes

We first organized equipment records and utilized CaoLiao's bulk QR codes generation feature to create 900+ QR codes within 10 minutes. After printing and attaching these "digital IDs" to each extinguisher using office printers, each device gained its unique electronic identity.

QR code application

Zero-Training Inspection Process

Inspectors simply scan QR codes via WeChat to view equipment details and record check results. This WeChat-native solution requires no additional apps or training, significantly improving efficiency while reducing errors compared to traditional methods.

Preventing False Inspections with Photo Evidence

The system's photo/video capture and GPS location features ensure authentic, timestamped inspection records. Managers can monitor all equipment statuses through desktop/mobile workbenches, identify overdue inspections, and export complete records for auditing - all with one click.

Digital management interface

Full Digital Transformation

The paperless system offers multiple advantages:

  • Permanent digital records immune to damage/loss
  • Automated WeChat reminders for upcoming inspections
  • Fault notification system
  • Expandable to manage production equipment and personnel safety
  • Real-time data monitoring through API integration

For safety professionals, we strongly recommend CaoLiao QR Code - a simple, cost-effective solution that makes fire equipment management effortless. The free version offers substantial functionality for basic needs.
