The TU Ilmenau has introduced a digital system for contact registration on campus. In the event of an infection, contact persons can be quickly traced and reported to the public health department.
For this purpose, the contact details of students, lecturers, staff and external parties such as guests or service providers are recorded for the university using the "QRONITON" system. Contact tracking with QRONITON is carried out using QR codes that are scanned with a smartphone to record those present in a room.
For this purpose, signs with the QR code of the respective room have been placed in all central lecture halls and teaching rooms next to the entrances and on the first unoccupied seats. Before entering the room, all users are called upon to be automatically registered by scanning the QR code with the help of their smartphone.
