Using Onetrace you can generate QR codes for your projects that allow you to tag all fire protection work carried out on-site—helping ensure compliance and that vital information is readily available on-site.

This guide will walk you through the steps to:

QR codes allow contractors to tag on-site work, providing quick access when scanned to all the recorded information about that installation on Onetrace.

If an installation or asset needs to be surveyed, or remedial work is carried out in the future, QR codes can be used to trace and document this activity.

1. Log into your account at app.onetrace.com

2. Click the Settings button from the main navigation panel on the left.

3. Click the QR Codes tab.

4. Click the Generate Batch button.

5. Using the Quantity dropdown choose the quantity of QR codes you would like to generate.

6. Click the Generate button.

7. Click the Download CSV button to download your batch.

To use QR codes with Onetrace, you must print labels that display the codes correctly. Typically, these are stickers that can be affixed to an area of an installation and its assets, such as a compartmentation wall and fire doors.

Onetrace does not provide printing services and you will need to source your own printing company. We recommend working with printers who have experience printing labels.

This guide outlines a process to deliver accurate printed QR code labels when working with your selected printing company.

Ensure that each QR code is unique, avoiding any duplication.

Verify that the QR code includes the entire link, not just a part of it. You can cross reference this information from the Excel sheet you have generated using Onetrace.

The QR code should only contain the link and no additional information. Copy the link from your Excel file exactly as shown below to get it printed.

For optimal scanning, we recommend a minimum size of 20 mm per label for your QR code labels.

Always request a proof or sample, especially if it's your first time printing, to avoid any unexpected results.

Before proceeding with the full print run, test the accessibility of the QR code at the desired size. Get a print and scan it with your mobile phone to check if it's working.

Keep in mind that smaller QR codes might require closer proximity for accurate scanning. If you are unable to scan a QR code, try moving a bit closer to it.

Your selected printing company will need to handle the following steps:

We've also prepared this guide in a PDF format which you are welcome to download and share with your team and selected printing partner.

1. Log into your account at app.onetrace.com

2. Select the Projects tab using the main navigation panel on the left and click the project you need to work on.

3. Click the Project Setup button.

4. Select Forms from the dropdown.

5. Choose the job form you wish to enable the QR Code linking for.

6. Scroll down and turn on the QR Code switch.

1. After completing a job onsite, your operatives will stick a QR Code label on the work or wall close to the completed job.

2. Your operative will scan the QR Code against the job sheet on the Onetrace App, linking the code to the completed job in the system.

3. Any future Onetrace user that scans the same QR code will be taken directly to the information of all the work that someone has done previously on that specific pin/location stored within the QR Code on their Onetrace system.

4. For any future job, your operative can scan the QR code using their phone and add additional job forms to the running history of all work someone has done at that specific location.
