Quiver QC is an application which allows for a quality control (QC) metric to be implemented around usage of the Arcom Digital Quiver field meter. The application provides a simple method to download saved Quiver screenshots documenting pre and post repair conditions for various faults. The application accesses the camera on the mobile phone, scans a QR code displayed on the Quiver screen representative of the Quiver screen capture, converts captured QR code back into a screenshot, then uploads the screenshots to a Cloud QC server for analysis and consumption by managers. The application allows technician to add work order numbers and any desired notes and displays results of the QC pass/fail back to the user for instant feedback.
