How do I identify equipment with the mobile app?

Before recording data, you need to identify the equipment (the checkpoint) it belongs to. There are 3 methods.

  1. Open the SILAB app.
  2. In the main menu, tap Scan: the camera turns on.
  3. Point it at the equipment’s QR code.

As soon as the QR code is detected, the equipment page opens.

Method 2: pick the equipment from the list

Section titled “Method 2: pick the equipment from the list”
  1. In the main menu, tap Control at the bottom right.

  2. Narrow down the list with the filters:

    • Controls: the type of data being monitored (temperature, for example). The validity date of the data then appears under each piece of equipment (time remaining).
    • Structures: how your building is organised (building, area, department, floor…).
    • Labels: the labels attached to the checkpoints.
  3. Select the equipment: its page opens and you can record your data.

Method 3: scan data that was already recorded (a filter, for example)

Section titled “Method 3: scan data that was already recorded (a filter, for example)”

A QR code or barcode already scanned and recorded on a piece of equipment — such as a legionella filter — lets you find the equipment it is installed on.

  1. In the app, open Data, then tap Control.

    Opening the control from the Data section

  2. Choose the Filter data category.
