How does the AI nameplate scanner in Equipment Tracker Pro work?
The AI nameplate scanner uses Google Gemini multimodal vision models to analyze photographs of unit data plates. It automatically extracts over 40 technical parameters, including the brand, model number, serial number, electrical specifications (voltage, phase, FLA), refrigerant type, charge weight, and date of manufacture. It even handles faded, rusted, or dirty labels with high accuracy.
Does the offline barcode and QR code scanner require a subscription?
No. The built-in barcode and QR code scanner is 100% free and works fully offline. Technicians can scan any barcode or QR code on-site to instantly look up equipment records, locations, and parts in their local offline database without needing cellular service or any paid account.
What reports can be generated for EPA and NFPA compliance?
Equipment Tracker Pro supports 11 professional report types. For EPA compliance, it tracks refrigerant additions and recovery weights to automatically calculate annual leak rates and flag Section 608 violations. For NFPA compliance, it includes dedicated Fire Damper inspection reports (NFPA 80/105). Other reports include Filter schedules, Belt replacement logs, and Equipment Age/Replacement forecasts—all exportable as branded PDFs or Excel-compatible CSVs.
Can I import existing data from Centriq or Excel?
Yes. We offer a free, client-side CSV import wizard. You can upload any CSV spreadsheet (including data exported from discontinued services like Centriq), map your spreadsheet columns to our database fields, validate for potential duplicates, and batch-import all properties, HVAC units, and appliances directly into your dashboard.
Is there a web dashboard available for desktop use?
Yes. In addition to our iOS and Android mobile apps, you can log into our fully featured Web Dashboard at equipment-tracker.com/login. The web version is perfect for office dispatchers, property managers, and administrators who need to manage portfolios, track tools, schedule preventative maintenance, and generate PDF report packets on a larger screen.
How do building transfers and teammate sharing work?
Our 'Push to User' and building transfer system makes hand-offs seamless. You can package all data, photos, specs, and logs for a building and generate a secure transfer code. Teammates, property managers, or new owners can enter this code in their app to import the complete history log instantly. Office managers can also receive guest submissions from outside contractors who scan a unit's QR tag on-site.
What is the pricing model for Equipment Tracker Pro?
Core features (barcode scanning, basic parts inventory, building profiles, and local logs) are completely free with no ads or popups. The Pro subscription unlocks advanced features like unlimited AI scanning, real-time Firebase cloud backup, custom branding, refrigerant/EPA tracking, and 11 professional compliance reports.
