Hardware inventory system via QR codes on mobile phones?

Question

PHP

We gathered here to make our own internal equipment inventory system .
The idea is simple:
* a sticker with a QR code is glued to each item, in which the URL with a special command is encrypted
* we read the QR code with the phone and the item enters the database, or vice versa, information about it from the database is displayed

Initially, we thought that we could quickly do this all through the Telegram bot, but stumbled upon problems with deeplink + phone camera when scanning, it usually opens the browser on the phone first - then you have to press an extra button there - in general, hemorrhoids

What remains - to write your mobile application? Or is there some even simpler way?

Answer 1

Make a web page: browsers, incl. mobile, able to work with a camera and read codes.
See for example nimiq/qr-scanner

Answer 2

Hi. the basis already in what that exists? you can take a regular google spreadsheet and write a rest server on it. It sounds loud in fact, one function of receiving a request. In your qr, put a link to the application + some information about the product (code, material, quantity, etc.), when reading, a simple click on the link will add a position after processing it. You can play with this more, Here is an example

Answer 3

Do not encrypt the link in the qr code, just encrypt the inventory. Then you don't even need qr, you can use the usual code128. and you can use for inventory a bunch of ready-made applications based on 1s.
Well, or your mobile application or even a web application. For android, there are custom kaviatures that read the CC from the camera and convert it to keyboard input, for example https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com....
