Elevator QR code inspection systems assign a unique QR code to each elevator installation, component, or inspection point. Scanning the code with a smartphone opens the linked maintenance management platform, displaying the full service history, current inspection certificate, component serial numbers, and next-due maintenance tasks. QR codes on individual components such as buffers, safety gears, and door locks link directly to the component's test records and replacement history. For passengers, a QR code on the car wall may display the current inspection certificate, emergency contact details, and lift specification. QR-based systems replace paper logbooks, reduce documentation errors, and enable real-time compliance monitoring by building managers and inspection authorities.
