This Android application is designed for healthcare facilities (hospitals) to efficiently manage the collection of bio-medical waste. The app is developed in compliance with the new guidelines for bio-medical waste collection and integrates a centralized barcoding system connected to the Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB).
Key Features:
User Management:
The application allows the creation of a local user within the app.
Local user refers to the driver, who is authorized to collect waste from hospitals.
User credentials are generated by the admin panel via a web-based interface.
Restricted Access for Local User:
All core functionalities, such as barcode scanning, Bluetooth weighing scale integration, and SOS mode, are exclusively available to the local user (driver).
Ensures that only authorized personnel can perform waste collection tasks, maintaining data integrity and accountability.
Barcode Scanning:
The app enables users to scan bags of various categories using the device's camera.
Bags are barcoded according to CPCB standards, ensuring compliance with centralized regulations.
Weight Collection:
The app interfaces with a Bluetooth-enabled weighing scale to record the weight of each bag accurately.
Collected data is sent to the CPCB server for centralized monitoring and record-keeping.
Offline Functionality:
The app operates in offline mode if no network is available.
Offline data is securely stored locally and synchronized with the server once the network is restored.
SOS Mode:
An SOS mode is provided for waste collection in case of issues with barcode scanning or weighing scale functionality.
Data Management:
Users can view offline data stored in the app.
A history feature allows users to review past records of collected waste.
Security & Compliance:
Ensures that only the local user (driver) can perform critical functions like barcode scanning, weighing, and data submission.
Promotes secure handling of bio-medical waste and adherence to CPCB guidelines.
By ensuring that only the local user (driver) has access to critical functionalities, the app maintains strict control, improves compliance, and enhances the efficiency of bio-medical waste collection
