Datoray app for iPhone and iPad

Datoray provides business and home users with a simple cloud-based system for organizing and managing information about their physical assets. It works by linking physical assets to online content. Assets can be anything from complex laboratory or manufacturing equipment to household items like kitchen appliances. Content includes technical specifications, user manuals, instructional videos, images and photos, product reviews, and quality records, such as calibration certificates, inspection reports, and warranty information.

After a user provides basic information about a new asset, Datoray will automatically search the web for relevant content and store the results in the cloud. Users can augment the automatic process by manually importing additional documents, images, and videos. Users can also add and share personal notes about an asset, receive notifications when the content changes, and create reminders about time-sensitive tasks associated with an asset (e.g., when to calibrate an instrument or replace filters).

There are two ways to retrieve information about a specific asset: by selecting it from a list of managed assets on the app’s home screen, or by scanning an optional Datoray QR tag that can be affixed to it. The latter scanning mode is convenient when the user and asset are in close proximity, such as when the user is about to operate or service an asset.

Datoray users can access any number of business and home accounts from a single device, and they can invite other colleagues, friends, and family members to joint their accounts. Invitees are pre-assigned a role -- subscriber, author, or admin -- that determines the permissions they will have while signed-in to the account.
