Visual 2000 Announces PLM.net Mobile QR Code Implementation

Visual PLM.net users can now track samples, retrieve quick product information, capture specifications and measurements with a simple scan of a QR Code. QR Codes, which stands for Quick Response, is a modern barcode scannable by any smartphone or tablet, including iPhones, iPads, Blackberry and Android devices. Users can now gain instant access to information stored on VisualPLM.net using their mobile device.

"The technology is readily available to millions of smartphone and tablet users and very few software vendors are leveraging this simple and powerful technology for the real-world," says Charles Benoualid, VP of Research and Development. "Our users will be able to instantly generate QR Codes for any product stored on our Visual PLM.net software and tag the products so they can be tracked, retrieved and spec'd from any mobile device."

The new VisualPLM.net Mobile feature is responsive to any device, simplifying many daily activities and increasing productivity. QR Code integration can be notably used for factory quality control, allowing product information to be retrieved and stored on a mobile device as opposed to remotely logging onto VisualPLM.net. Tracking samples, sending and receiving parcels is now instantaneous at reception. Whether working with a customer, sales representative, or a factory, specific information can be tailored to the targeted audience without having full access to PLM.

QR Code scanners are now imbedded into most devices' operating systems and are easily downloadable from any app store at zero cost. The QR Codes can be sent to any printer directly form Visual PLM.net and anyone with login credentials to PLM can get direct access from a mobile device with this responsive web app.
