Product information directly on the valve
At Quadax, innovation goes beyond product performance alone: butterfly valves are now delivered with a QR code as standard. A quick scan with a smartphone or tablet leads directly to the Digital Product Passport – and to the information and documents provided for that specific product.
DIGITALIZATION MEETS VALVE TECHNOLOGY
Quadax develops and manufactures metal-seated butterfly valves designed to meet the most stringent sealing requirements, withstand high pressures and temperatures ranging from –270 °C to +800 °C, and supplies them worldwide for demanding applications. By integrating a QR code on the valve, the company extends physical product identification with a digital access point.
Here's how it works:
This is made possible by GEMÜ DPP software, which provides product information in a structured way and makes it accessible through a unique digital access point.
The challenge
Quadax had a clear goal: customers should be able to access relevant information about their valves quickly, digitally, and directly at the product. Together with our Digital Business team, this became an end-to-end solution: from the QR code on the valve, through the preparation of existing product data and documents, to the display in the Digital Product Passport within the Quadax brand experience.
Quadax contributed its product knowledge, existing data sources, and customer requirements. We supported the concept phase and handled the technical implementation of the DPP solution. Working in close collaboration, we created a solution that integrates into the existing processes of Quadax and is easy for customers to use.
With the Digital Product Passport, we make relevant product information accessible directly at the valve. This gives our customers simple digital access to documents, data, and service information.
QUADAX AND GEMÜ
Together with us, Quadax has created a foundation for the Digital Product Passport and is now prepared for future requirements under the ESPR.
This includes defining the target vision, consolidating relevant data, and marking valves with a QR code as standard.
Joint kickoff
The desired customer benefit, the required information, and the specific access via QR code were defined.
Bringing information together
Existing Quadax product
data, documents, certificates, and product images were consolidated.
Making it digitally tangible
We developed the technical data preparation and web-based display, adapted to the Quadax brand experience.
Putting it into practice together
The entire process chain was tested: from product identification to accessing the related information.
Today, the valves are delivered with a QR code as standard.
Would you like to see how a digital product passport can be structured?
The QR code connects the Quadax valve to the Digital Product Passport, making product data,
documents, and certificates directly available.
Relevant information can be accessed for each product via the QR code on the valve.
Documents are available digitally anytime, anywhere, without the need to search for them.
Quadax can maintain provided information and documents centrally and digitally.
Smartphone access
supports service, maintenance, and information processes.
