Applications of Centix
With over 25 years of experience in tool and equipment management, we have an in-depth understanding of the challenges faced across various industries. Thanks to this extensive hands-on experience, we’ve developed numerous best practices that we’re happy to share with you.
If you have questions about new applications, we always recommend contacting our sales department first. They’ll be happy to advise you on the right hardware and supplies to ensure you get the most out of Centix.
Using QR code stickers, you can easily identify assets. Depending on your chosen settings, scanning the QR code — with or without logging in — provides access to specific information about the asset.
Power tools must be regularly inspected, a task that can often be time-consuming. Centix simplifies this process by reading measurement data directly from the PAT tester. For each tool, a certificate is automatically generated, summarising all measurements.
Centix automatically reads measurements directly from the PAT tester. After importing the measurement file, the status and validity date of the equipment are updated automatically. Centix supports standard integrations with various PAT testers.
Centix provides extensive support for the inspection of battery-powered tools. However, there is sometimes a misconception that cordless power tools do not need to be inspected because they don’t have a power cord and plug.
Our ATEX software solution is specifically designed to support inspection companies and authorised technical services in carrying out thorough and efficient inspections. It features offline capabilities and ensures seamless reporting.
With the Centix Online customer portal, you provide extra service while reducing your administrative workload. Customers gain access to their own online environment within your Centix portal, where they can view their assets, certificates, and other relevant information anytime, anywhere.
Users can easily submit malfunction reports and service requests via Centix. With customisable forms and QR codes on objects or locations, scanning a code immediately opens the correct form. The back office then receives all the necessary information to take swift action.
Centix’s workflow management functionalities are modularly structured. There are separate modules for (service) notifications, a planning board with digital work orders, contracts, and the pre-calculation and actual recording of products and hours. The work order app, including digital work orders, is included with the planning board module.
Manage your organisation’s order flows with our order module. Handle and organise incoming rental and sales orders, then generate a picklist. Use the Centix Logistics App to pick the products and prepare the order for dispatch!
You always want to know where your valuable equipment and tools are. Are they being used optimally? Are they still on site? What is the consumption like, and have all inspections been carried out? With Centix Tags, managing tools and equipment becomes even easier and more efficient!
Centix provides a range of specialised products, including hardware such as scanners, printers, and tablets, often configured specifically by Centix. In addition, Centix supplies consumables like industrial stickers and RFID tags for simple and durable object identification.

The importance of unique numbering
Unique numbering, every number is unique, right? This works slightly differently in Centix. Traditionally, many companies have “intelligence” in their item numbers. For example, the engraving of objects has largely been replaced by QR code stickers. This makes it easy to find information by using the smartphone in the workplace.

Renumber your assets
Often the old numbers are still engraved in tools or equipment. We advise never to engrave numbers because you damage the housing of your tool, but to work with QR-code stickers. Are you a new customer or do you have Centix Office? Then we renumber.
What we do is put the ID in the barcode field. Centix has a specially developed script for this. We align the ID and barcode field so that it equals the engraved number. We then developed a best practice implementation to support you in this. This way you can find your tools or equipment in both fields. Work with unique numbers and request them with ease by scanning the QR code with Centix OnSite.

Rental documentation
‘Simply and quickly provide documentation to the tenant with a QR code without logging in’
How does it work? The URL of the QR code contains a unique code which is different for each object. By scanning this combination, a special datasheet is shown. This datasheet can be adjusted at system level, so that you can determine for yourself which information is visible to your customer. This allows you, for example, to show data, the latest inspection certificate, technical drawings or perhaps even instruction videos.
Issuing tools at turnarounds
Especially for rental companies and other customers with the order module, we have developed an App. This allows the user to easily issue tools and equipment placed on a project or stop via an order.
The system works completely offline when the tools and equipment have been read in. People can be added in a fast and accessible way. For example, the access pass can even be linked to the added person so that the person can be found by means of a simple scan.
In this way, we even facilitate a solution behind the gate or location that leads to better insight, safer environments and effective and fast registration of your tools– and equipment management.
Multi-language support with Centix Online Basis
One default system language is set in Centix. This standard system language often depends on the spoken language within the organisation. It is possible to make multiple languages available in the Centix Online Basis. Each user can set their preferred language and switch between up to eight languages. The standard components such as columns, filters and predefined fields are then translated. Everything the user enters (also called content) is not translated. Because Centix has a flexible menu structure, it is possible to create a menu bar per language.
