This solution with the use of a TAG.QR-NFC helps your IT responsible to manage all computers and laptops on one central platform. All important information about year of manufacture, software, manuals, accessories, etc. can be consulted and a history shows who used which asset and when. The user can easily pass on reports so that the IT manager can take action.
Check.connects, powered by All-Connects, was selected to participate in the NEW WORK project of THE BEACON SMART HUB in Antwerp. The building on the isle will be opened up as an experimental living lab to test new technologies, which contribute positively to health, well-being and productivity on the work floor.
The technology is tested for user acceptance, and answers the following questions:
1|how will employees deal with this technology?
2|how can efficiency be increased by using this technology?
3|how do we ensure that the applied technology has a lasting impact?
The Check.connects technology is used to locate company assets, monitor their use and optimise reservation planning. For the Beacon, we were asked to deploy the system to monitor facility tasks in the various office spaces. Because the building is constantly being used by different people, it was not easy to provide a good service and to ensure that everything was always in perfect order at the workplace, in the coffee corner and in the washrooms. That's why they wanted an easy way to report when something needed to be refilled - such as toilet soap, cleaning product, coffee beans, etc.
Ideal for the requested functionality was our QR code application: Anyone can scan a QR code, linked to a device or room, with their own smartphone and open a 'guest page' on the CHECK app (without login details or compulsory registration). Via a handy form with targeted, relevant questions, the user can quickly pass on a report, and even add a photo to illustrate a defect, damage or unhygienic situation, for example. THE BEACON's office manager receives an instant notification and can immediately launch a follow-up task.

This solution is suitable for all companies that have multiple laptops and PCs and want a clearer overview of the performed update(s) or problems, who is managing a device, and where different devices are located.
Due to the large number of PCs and laptops present, it is difficult to keep an overview of which system updates have or have not been carried out, and on which devices this took place. Reinstallations or problems cannot be reported in any way. Even with laptops used by several people, it is sometimes difficult to find out who is using the laptop at any given time or where exactly it is located.
Given the dimensions, the TAG.QR-NFC is the best solution in this use case. In combination with TAG.WIFI-GPS, laptops can be located both inside and outside the company building.
Because we attached a TAG.QR-NFC to each device, the IT manager can link each PC or laptop to the platform. This way, he always has a clear overview of who is using which laptop. In addition, each report is automatically saved, so that the history of a single device is fully available. The user can easily make a notification if there are problems or if new accessories such as a mouse or keyboard are required.
