Toolchain Work: You can use Toolchain Work to scan the product's QR codes or built-in chips, which can play a important role in the following scenarios:

• Cross-border commodities (such as wine, livestock products such as beef, seafood products such as salmon, tea and honey, and other agricultural products), from overseas wineries / ranches / fisheries / farms, to bonded area warehouses, distribution centers, and various sales channels. Toolchain Work can track and manage the entire lifecycle of each product to achieve the overall traceability transparency in their entire lifecycle.
• To trace high-end products (luxury products), including its logistics, warehousing, and resale processes.

Toolchain Work supports camera scanning and infrared scanning modes, and supports high-frequency anti-counterfeiting and ultra-high-frequency chips. Employees authorized by the enterprise can bind and activate products, view product information, perform binding and unbinding, and collect logistics traceability information.

•  Scanning and inquiry

Click [Query]to enter the scanning page. If it is a QR code label, select the camera function to scan the QR code. If it is a chip tag, select the NFC function and directly read the chip near the mobile phone to obtain the SKU product information of the chip. 

• Bind SKU

• Click [Enterprise List]on the main page, select your project, and click [Bind SKU]

• You can click[Setting]and select scanning mode according to the label type through the in the upper right corner: select NFC or QR code camera single scanning / group scanning.

• Bind group

• In the logistics process, in order to facilitate transportation, companies usually package goods into boxes. Information collection during the transportation process does not allow unpacking. Therefore, you need to bind the VID of each product with the VID of the box. In the subsequent logistics and transportation process, you only need to scan the box VID for data collection, and the relevant data will be automatically synchronized with the product VID information in the box. The label on the box is the Parent VID, and the product labels are Sub VIDs size.

• As shown in the figure below, select [Bind group]in the data points list.

• On the collection binding page, enter the [Name]of the binding, and first click [Parent VID]to scan the code label, such as the box or car label. Select NFC or camera mode scan code according to the tag type. Only one Parent VID can be selected in one operation.

 

• After completing [Parent VID], please click [Sub VID]to select NFC or camera mode scan code according to the tag type. If it is a QR code, click to scan the QR code, and then click [Confirm]after scanning. If it is an NFC chip, move the chip close to the phone to read the chip. After reading all the chips, confirm whether all Sub VIDs need to be bound under the Parent VID. Click [Submit]to complete the group binding.

 

• You can check the submission record and the status on the blockchain through the settings menu in the upper right corner

•  Unbind group

When you unpack the box to take out the product, please remember to unbind the product from the box, otherwise the subsequent items will continue to synchronize to the products and cause unnecessary losses.
