QTags

Stickers facilitate repairs, reinforce the chain of custody for devices

Quality Biomedical’s new QTags are QR code labels that are tightly integrated with the company’s QConnect equipment management platform. Using the QConnect Mobile smartphone app, a customer applies a QTag to a piece of equipment needing service, then scans the QTag. This generates a request for a pickup, assigns a unique ID to the equipment, and advises the customer of the next pick-up date. The Quality Biomedical driver who picks up the equipment then scans the same QTag and produces an electronic receipt for the units picked up. The entire transaction is completed in a few seconds and establishes a secure record of the pickup for both parties.
