Operating instructions via QR code – Machine labelling using stainless steel etching | Mohn GmbH

For almost two years now, we have been marking our machines and equipment with a QR code permanently etched onto stainless steel, in addition to the standard type plate. By scanning the code, service engineers and staff are taken directly to the relevant operating instructions for the machine in question.

This is how we ensure that important technical documentation is available straight at the point of use. There is no need to search for the required documents in folders, in the office or in digital filing systems. A smartphone or tablet is all it takes to access the relevant operating instructions quickly and easily.

This solution offers significant advantages over printed paper documents, particularly in production and wet areas. Circuit diagrams, operating instructions and other documents in paper form can become soiled, damaged or rendered illegible by moisture. The QR code, permanently etched onto stainless steel, remains permanently attached to the respective machine and is designed for daily use.

Furthermore, with QR code labelling, we are also helping to reduce paper consumption. Technical documentation can be made available digitally and updated as required, without the need to place new printouts on the machine.

With the addition of QR code labelling, we improve the availability of technical documentation directly at the point of use, whilst at the same time creating a modern, practical addition to the existing machine labelling system.
