What's new when you register tools? On the first QR scan – when the code is not yet linked to a tool – you can photograph the nameplate. AI fills in brand and model as suggestions. You review and tap Save tool before anything is saved.
Here's a quick tour.
What happens on the first QR scan?
When a QR code is scanned for the first time and is not yet linked to a tool, the heading Which tool is this QR code on? appears. There are three buttons, in order: Photograph the nameplate, Search and Create your own.
If you choose Photograph the nameplate, you take a picture of the plate on the tool. Photograph the nameplate and Delatool reads the brand and model and suggests the tool type. Serial number and year of manufacture are only included when they are visible on the plate.
It follows the same idea as QR code tool marking: scan, choose, move on.
How does AI reading of the nameplate work?
Delatool reads the brand and model from the photo and suggests a tool type. The type is a normal dropdown – you can change it before you save.
Serial number and year of manufacture are only included when they are visible on the plate.
You get a review view. Nothing is saved until you confirm.
What gets filled in – and what do you confirm?
You review the suggestions and tap Save tool when they look right. Nothing is saved before that.
Something off? Change the tool type in the dropdown before you save. If the plate could not be read, the Take a new photo button appears.
When you save your own tool from the reading, the photo is saved as the tool picture.
Once the tool is saved it belongs to your tool tracking as usual. If needed, you can also take stock of your tools so the register is up to date.
When is manual registration a better fit?
Is the nameplate hard to read, missing or worn? Use Search or Create your own instead.
Search covers the catalogue and your own tools. The field is called Search tools – search by model, manufacturer, article number or EAN, and filter by tool type.
Create your own opens Create new tool, where tool type, model and manufacturer are required.
You do not have to use the AI reading. It is one option at registration, not a requirement.
FAQ
Does AI save the tool automatically?
No. Delatool suggests the details. You review and tap Save tool. Nothing is saved before that.
Does AI always read the serial number?
No. Serial number and year of manufacture are only included when they are visible on the plate.
