The label design menu lacks several variables to make it truly useful for connection with the Maintenance Management Programs that offer data for devices.la

When a QR code is integrated with the Arc Flash Label, several information that are subject to change with the addition of electrical equipment to the circuit, can be left out.  For example:

1) Incident Energy

2) Limited Approach,

3) Restricted Approach

4) Prohibited Approach

5) Arc Flash Boundary

6) Working Distance

The usage of the QR Code that leads to the stored data in the Maintenance Management Software Database allows access to more comprehensive information, such as technical data, repair, service, or replacement instructions, as well as the location of the Upstream protective devices. All information that is subject to change can be located in the database of the Maintenance Management Software and easily updated there. By instructing the technician to scan the QR Code and read the instructions downloaded from the database and follow them, the Arc-Flash Label stays current for years to come. It doesn't need to be replaced every time the Arc Flash Hazard analysis produces different results.

It would also be great if we could choose several other variables in the label design menu, such as:

1) the upstream device,

2) the location of the upstream device,

3) the Standard used for ARC hazard calculation,

4) the PPE according to 70E
