Challenge
HeartSafe® AED Locator is a company in the United Kingdom that produces and maintains defibrillators for public use. A number of them is situated outdoors. To help the maintenance of the life-saving equipment the company needed a solution that could withstand the climate conditions and would be easy and cheap to maintain.
Solution
For the use of maintenance was customized an NFC tag with QR code. An insulating layer makes it possible to attach the tag onto the metal surface of the HeartSafe® box and the outer layer is designed to survive the varying weather conditions. The maintenance only needs to tap the tag with a mobile phone that supports NFC technique to make the report, which can be seen in real-time in the operation center.
Knowledge that the defibrillator is ready and functional is key for any Ambulance Services to list it in their operational systems.
