How It Works

From scan to verified record in under 5 seconds

NFC and QR Tracking for Lifting Equipment

STEP 01
NFC Tap Scan
Scan
Tap the NFC tag with any smartphone, or scan the printed QR code on the asset label. No proprietary app required.
STEP 02
Webbing Sling QR Label
Identify
The serial number is matched against the secure Sling Force Portal database. Tampered or counterfeit assets are flagged instantly.
STEP 03
Audit Pass Result
Verify
WLL, manufacture certificate, EN/ASME compliance, current inspection status, and full audit trail are displayed on screen.
STEP 04
Submit Inspection Form
Log
Authorised inspectors record new inspections, attach photos, and update due dates directly from the field. Records sync to the cloud instantly.
Equipment Traceability

Every serial number, every inspection, every certificate.

Each lifting asset is bound to a unique serial number issued at manufacture and logged into the Sling Force Portal. From procurement to retirement, the full lifecycle is traceable.

Inspection Due Status

Real-time fleet visibility, zero spreadsheets

The Sling Force Portal aggregates every scan from the field into a single dashboard. Inspection windows, retirements, and overdue assets are surfaced before they become incidents.

DIGITAL CERTIFICATE VERIFICATION

Tamper-evident proof of conformity

Paper certificates get lost, damaged, or forged. Sling Force digital certificates are cryptographically signed, instantly verifiable on site by anyone with a smartphone, and permanently linked to the asset's full lifecycle record.

Sling Force Manufacturing Certificate
1
Issue at Manufacture
Each asset is paired with a digital certificate (EN 1492, ASME B30, EN 13414) and signed in the Portal at the moment of test.
2
Embed in NFC + QR
A short cryptographic verification token is written to the NFC chip and encoded into the QR. Tampering breaks the signature.
3
Field Verification
Any scan calls back to the Portal in real time. If the signature, serial, or status do not match, the asset is rejected on screen.
4
Audit-Ready Export
Certificates, scan logs, and inspection records can be exported as PDF or CSV for HSE auditors and end clients on demand.
Three Layers Of Identification

Built into every Sling Force lifting asset

Laser-Engraved QR Code on Wire Rope Ferrule
QR Code Label
Laser-etched onto stainless ferrules and ID tags. Survives oil, salt, abrasion, and UV for the full asset lifecycle.
NFC Tap and QR Scan with the Sling Force App
NFC Tag
Encapsulated in industrial-grade epoxy. Read range up to 4 cm with any NFC-enabled smartphone — no battery required.
Laser-Engraved QR Code on Green-Pin Shackle
Serial Plate & QR
Permanently laser-engraved on hardware. Human-readable serial number serves as a reliable backup when a phone is unavailable on site.

PORTAL INTEGRATION

Every scan flows into the Sling Force Portal

The NFC & QR system is the front line of a complete asset management platform. Procurement, inspection, retirement, and audit reporting are unified in one secure cloud workspace — with role-based access for inspectors, fleet managers, and end clients.

  • Single sign-on for distributors and end clients
  • Inspection scheduling, reminders, and overdue alerts
  • Bulk certificate export for HSE audits
  • API hooks for ERP / EAM systems on request
