Abstract
A system is provided for access to system-related resources for complex-system parts. The system includes a barcode reader and front-end engine coupled thereto. The barcode reader is configured to scan a barcode located on a complex-system part. The barcode encodes links to respective system-related resources for the complex-system part, including software-based systems and/or electronic documents. The barcode reader, then, is configured to decode the links from the barcode. The front-end engine is in turn configured to generate a portal that identifies the complex-system part, and that includes the links decoded from the barcode. The front-end engine is also configured to cause display of the portal in a graphical user interface through which the links are navigable to access the respective system-related resources for the complex-system part.
