Research Lab SOP

Any laboratory facility must comply with the SOP to prevent the spread of the Covid-19 pandemic. At the 3DGIS lab, we try to make sure that body temperature checks and entries in and out of the lab are recorded.

To avoid filling in the information manually (using paper form), QR codes are used for students or visitors to fill in their personal information and body temperature (using smartphone). Without the need for any app installation, users recorded information is stored in the cloud database along with user’s gps coordinate location. Indirectly, it facilitates the monitoring of movement in and out of the laboratory.

Due to my habit of computer coding and automation, I could not avoid getting my hand dirty writing some codes for this QR code approach. Quite funny, when the use of paper form can actually solve this matter as well.

Since it can locate user’s gps position, the students said, “we are now in the radar”.

I’m sorry, automation is my “bad” habit 🙂
