| Functional requirements for professional usage of QR codes and tags | Advantages | Consequences of ignoring |
|---|---|---|
| The customers focus on the level of difficulty when switching systems | It’s possible to switch to a new system without changing codes or tags | If QR codes and tags are created with static content, it requires a great effort to replace them |
| The possibility to dynamically change the function of a QR code or tag | The option of changing the functionality of a QR code or tag based on external events | If a QR code or tag contains static information, it must be replaced for any changes to take effect |
| Possibility to link the same tag to different independent systems | When a tag links to ITAGSYS, it will direct the person to one of several systems, depending on the persons role and rights | If tags contain absolute and static information (URL), there will have to be a tag for each purpose |
| Performance: Speed and usage under poor light conditions (Compare codes further down this page) | Because of the reduced amount of characters in dynamic tags, they are faster and more easily read | If tags have to many characters, you have to make them bigger in size |
| A tag should be read from native apps and from default scanner in the smartphone | Tags with an URL and a GUID can be read off- and online | Without both an URL and a GUID a tag will be less flexible |
| Possibility to create flexible amounts of “active” or “unused” tags | You can choose to place the tag on an object before or after it is entered into the system | There will no longer be a need for a label-printer |
| ”Unused” tags can on location be activated and get a link attached | It is easier to administrate and control if you can choose a default tag label and activate it on location | |
| ”Unused” tag can be downloaded as png-files and transferred to labels | Sub-delivers/contractors can receive png-file and tag products before delivery It’s easy to replace a defect tag ”Unused” tags can be produced in higher quality and therefore easier to scan | |
| Possibility to log activity | You have access to usage data in regards to when a QR code tag was used | |
| Possibility for realtime action (webhooks) | By use of webhooks it is possible to activate a camera, doors, turn on installations etc. | |
| Possibility to ensure unique tags | By use of GUID (Global Unique Identifier) it is ensured, that a tag is unique | In some apps only the ID is read. If different URLs but identical ID’s occur, it will be critical |
| Attachment of metadata and notes for each tag | Access to metadata and notes optimises search and administration |
