QR codes are a proven, low-friction way to connect physical assets with live digital records. Originally developed by Denso Wave in 1994, this two-dimensional barcode format was selected for our platform because of its exceptional readability, reliability and capacity to hold asset-specific data.

Each Maintenance by Global asset label carries a unique QR code linked directly to the Log-Book Portal. When scanned, it calls up the full service history, current condition, associated risk assessments and forthcoming planned maintenance visits. Engineers, caretakers and managers can see exactly what has been done, what is due next and what action is required – at the asset, in real time.

Labels are generated automatically from the Site Asset Manager (SAM) and manufactured to match the asset’s environment and duty. Options include variations in size, substrate, adhesive and fixing method, ensuring that labels remain legible and secure in plant rooms, roof spaces, external locations and controlled environments.

QR scanning is embedded in our engineering workflow. Partners scan the asset on arrival and on completion, driving accurate time, status and compliance updates back into the Log-Book Portal. This improves data quality, strengthens audit trails and underpins robust lifecycle and replacement decisions at portfolio level.

Crucially, this capability is available to any authorised user with a smartphone – no app to install, no licence to manage and no hidden charges. For customers, it delivers immediate access to trustworthy information. For investors, it demonstrates a scalable, standards-driven mechanism for connecting field activity with the digital maintenance record.
