Workflow · board CB-0427
Every CarbonBoard carries a record that starts with the order and grows with every ride. Follow one board through the shop, the workshop and onto the mountain: seven steps, from the customer's order to the feedback after a day on the snow.
Scroll to follow the boardLena picks the model, the length and the topsheet in the shop. The order is where the board's story begins: from here on, everything that happens to this board is written down.
Staff create the board in the CarbonBoards backend: a board number, the model, the dimensions and the order it belongs to. The NFC tag and the rider stay empty for now.
In the workshop the board is laid up layer by layer: wood core, glass, carbon, topsheet. When it comes out of the press, its record moves on to built.
Before the topsheet is sealed, a small passive NFC chip is set into a pocket in the nose. It has no battery and no wires; the phone that reads it also powers it.
Staff hold a phone to the nose. The CarbonBoards web app reads the chip's serial, stores it on the board's record and writes the board's link onto the chip. From now on, any phone that touches the board opens its page.
Lena, the customer from step one, becomes a rider. The rider profile is linked to the customer account, and the board is assigned as a purchased board.
After a day on the mountain Lena taps a phone on the nose. The board page opens, and the ride is logged: the snow, the distance, how the board felt. Every entry lands on the board's record, where the workshop can read it.
The whole loop
The board record is the thread: the shop, the workshop and the rider all add to the same record, and a tap on the nose is enough to find it. What riders report goes back to the workshop for the next build.
