QR Codes on the Factory Floor: The Benefits for New Hires and Employees

Do you use QR Codes on the factory floor today? Make training rapidly accessible with QR Codes.

QR codes are becoming more and more popular, and for good reason. They are an easy way to make digital information rapidly accessible. In this blog post, we will discuss the benefits of using QR codes on the factory floor. Specifically, we will focus on how they can be used to quickly train new hires and employees.

With work force challenges, companies are having to train new employees faster than ever. Rather than their typical onboarding process which involved a day (sometimes days) onboarding new employees in the break room, companies are commonly sending new hires onto the factory floor within their first day. With this change in the onboarding process, it can be really challenging to provide new hires the training they need for safety procedures, equipment operation, and other topics.

Using QR Codes For Training on the Factory Floor

This is where companies can lean on QR codes. QR Codes are a great way to provide just-in-time training on the factory floor. New hires can simply scan a QR code with their smartphone or company-owned tablet and be taken to a digital video or document that provides them with the information they need. No more waiting for a trainer to become available or sitting through hours of lecture-based training.

Additionally, QR codes can be used to provide information to all employees – not just new hires. For example, let’s say a company updates their safety procedures. Rather than reprinting and redistributing a physical document to all employees, they can simply update the digital document that is linked to the QR code. Then, when employees scan the QR code, they will be taken to the most up-to-date version of the document.
