Let's discover a “hidden gem” in the 3DEXPERIENCE platform - QR Reader - that will have many practical implications. You can learn about it from the two scenarios below:
Scenario 1
A makeshift hospital has taken in thousands of patients during the pandemic. The doctors are going from bed to bed, trying to get all the relevant information of patients. However, due to the nature of the infection and being a makeshift hospital, detailed documentation is not available for the doctors on the spot. The only records available for every patient are found by scanning a QR code that’s attached to the bed. In order to make proper diagnosis, doctors have to refer to other relevant reports that are associated with patients.
Scenario 2
You are a technician who is working on an offshore oil rig hundreds of miles out in the ocean. You need to fix a complex piece of assembly that has numerous components. Each piece of equipment has a QR code on it. The team on land has just revised the maintenance procedure for this equipment. All that you have with you is your mobile device.
Let's take a look at how the QR Code Generator, built within the Microsoft integration with 3DEXPERIENCE can help.
Kindly take a look at the attached video ‘Video1’ now.
- First, I generated QR codes for some pieces of equipment. These QR codes point to a document in the bookmark on the platform.
- Then, I downloaded a QR code reader app to my phone. There are many QR code reader apps. I downloaded one called "QR Reader."
- With this reader, when I scan the QR code, it will open the document on my phone. I can then view the document in the new Document Management widget, which will also display the contents in a 3DPlay. I also can look at all the connected documents by clicking on the ‘relationships’ icon in the viewer. Please refer to Video_2 to see this.
The practical implications of this simple feature are enormous. Users can look at the documents, refer to instructions, or even look into patient’s history on their mobile devices from anywhere by merely clicking on the QR code.
Here are a couple of QR codes that you may scan to refer to these documents.
