The zamics system is composed of a hardware and a software component.

Hardware
For digital identification, robust transponders (alternatively a QR code/BLE) are attached to your devices.

Software
With the help of the easy-to-use app, your devices are scanned. In addition, all information about the equipment can be retrieved.
Our desktop view gives you a full overview of all your machines at all locations.

zamics can be used on all devices running iOS or Android operating systems. The smartphones must also be NFC-enabled or equipped with an NFC chip. For example, all smartphones with Android from version 4.0 and all Apple smartphones from iPhone 6 have this as standard. Just look in the settings of your phone for the NFC function and activate it.

zamics relies on all data in the system always being up-to-date. Therefore, an active Internet connection is required for use. This can be established via WLAN as well as via the smartphone’s mobile data.

You can contact us at any time by phone as well as by e-mail. As a rule, you will receive the personal support you need on the same day or the following day at the latest.

The identification of the working equipment works via Bluetooth or NFC transponders and as a further option via QR codes.

– More information in the FAQ video (YouTube)

Each work equipment is provided with a robust NFC transponder, which is glued, tethered or e.g. screwed to the device. The transponder can be read out with the zamics app. In this way, the user can see all the stored information about the linked equipment at a glance at any time and can manage it up to date. For example, you can change the location, assign it to people, put the equipment in repair and much more.

Bluetooth is an active solution where the transponders send their own signal. Therefore, the machines do not have to be recorded manually. In some cases, antennas are also used to provide a further range for detecting the transponders or receivers. Bluetooth transponders are the most stable, but also the most expensive solution.

no. You can operate both NFC and Bluetooth transponders and manage them in the zamics APP. Or even work with QR codes to capture your equipment. We can discuss which standard suits you personally in your individual application. We will be happy to help you with the selection.

QR codes work in the same way as NFC transponders, except that they are printed on an adhesive film. While QR codes have the advantage that they are inexpensive and can be easily replaced when they wear out. However, unlike NFC transponders, they are much less resilient.

In principle, as many equipment as required can be recorded.

In the free trial version you can create up to 25 work tools. After that, there are scales ranging from the entry-level package through, XS, S, M, L and XL to an Enterprise package. Feel free to contact us, we will find the right solution together.

For more information, please see our price overview.

Not at the moment. However, since we know from experience that this is of interest to many companies in the market, we are working flat out to integrate it into the zamics system.

You can see at which location your equipment was checked in. With NFC, the data is based on the manual process of recording your employees. With Bluetooth, this process is automatic. Locating with meter accuracy is not possible in either case. However, we know that this is very relevant for many companies, for example due to theft protection. That is why we are working on a suitable solution.

Currently, all equipment can be recorded with its own serial number. In addition, we are working on a solution that will also allow small devices without their own serial number and without their own transponder to be recorded. In the future, you can then create 20 screwdrivers, for example, in a separate pool and manage it.

Not at the moment. But the topic is very important to us. That is why we are currently working on a solution. The aim is, for example, to be able to assign the attachments to a equipment or to map the equipment in a container or vehicle. This should be possible by fall 2022.

In the zamics overview, all test dates are prominently and clearly displayed. In addition, the status is marked in color – missed appointments, for example, are clearly highlighted in red. In addition, you will receive monthly reminders of all upcoming appointments by mail.

Yes. We offer import and export of data as CSV file. This is possible for both employees and equipment.

The duration of use of the starter package and the zamics software is not limited in time.

no. You have access to all data from the starterbox in the Pro version.

Our servers are located exclusively in Germany (AWS in Frankfurt) and are accordingly also subject to the strict requirements of the DSGVO.
