QR code and NFC inspections without login
A QR code at the machine or workstation opens the right inspection form at the start of the shift.
Learn more about this featureBring daily production checks into order
A production environment runs dozens or hundreds of small checks every day.
Some end up on a sheet next to the machine, some in a spreadsheet and some only in the operator's memory.
Varilo brings them together and standardises how they are performed.
A QR code or NFC tag right at the machine
A QR code or NFC tag can be assigned to a specific machine, line or workstation.
The operator does not search for the right form — they scan the label on the equipment and run the assigned check.
In production, the machine or workstation inspection form is available from a QR code at the line. The operator completes it at the start of the shift and the supervisor sees the results immediately, without collecting paper forms or retyping data into a spreadsheet.
From checklist to report in a few simple steps
This is how an inspection runs on the shop floor.
- 1
Create a workstation checklist
Prepare the questions for a machine, line, changeover or shift handover.
- 2
Label the machine
Place a QR code or NFC tag on the equipment the check applies to.
- 3
The operator runs the check
A phone scan opens the right checklist — no account and no login on the floor.
- 4
Analyse the results
Results, comments and findings build up in Varilo together with the workstation history.

How does Varilo connect production inspections with actions?
In production, Varilo combines daily operator checks, workstation history and the non-conformity log. Inspection results are available immediately to the supervisor and other authorised teams.
PDF reports, fault log and schedules
Non-conformities go into the fault and action log, and results can be exported to Excel (CSV).

Teams limit checklists and reports to a selected line, hall or shift.
Learn more about this featureFrom shop floor data to a report
Results are collected in one place, so managers can analyse completed checks without building spreadsheets by hand:
- number of checks per shift or per month,
- workstations where findings appear most often,
- history of a specific machine or line,
- results of individual checklists with comments,
- how inspections develop over time.
FAQ – Varilo in manufacturing
- Does the operator need an account?
- No. An inspection shared via QR or NFC can be completed without an account and without logging in.
- Can one checklist serve several machines?
- Yes. The same checklist can be shared in many places and each label produces its own result.
- Does it work without signal on the shop floor?
- Yes. Answers are stored on the phone and sent once the connection is back.
- Can workers speaking different languages use the same checklist?
- Yes. The interface and checklist content are available in Polish, English and Dutch.
- Can I see when the previous check was done?
- Yes. Every result carries a date and time, and the workstation history stays available in Varilo.
- Is Varilo suitable for 5S audits?
- Yes. A 5S audit can be set up as a digital checklist with questions for each area, photos and comments. Results of successive audits are visible in the report history and statistics.
- What happens when an operator reports a machine fault?
- An answer marked as non-compliant creates an action in the fault log. At the next inspection of the same question, the operator sees the earlier report, and a question marked as critical can stop the inspection until the repair is approved.
