Important Tips On Asset Labeling

By Jerry Thompson


Assets should be secured by labeling which may be done using an app known as cheqroom or using dymo label writer. Using this method equipment can be traced around for effecting management to avoid unknown losses. Asset labeling helps people track their expensive assets using Bluetooth scanner, a cabled scanner or their Smartphone helping them to quickly locate where they are.

It is important to have those tags that cannot peel off or tear to avoid unnecessary losses in a company. They can as well stock themselves with extra labels so that they can be in a position to quickly get another one back whenever the item lacks one. This process saves a lot of time during record keeping and distribution so that items can be integrated in the system quickly.

If one desires labels that will last long and be resistant to scratches and water these too are available but slightly expensive due to the customization. In an organization the tags can be printed to suit the requirements of the user in variable shapes, colors and sizes. A logo can also be added on the tag upon the request to suit the specifications of an individual either for security or identification.

Some of the tags are meant to serve the purpose of scanning metallic equipment for example containers, trolleys, machinery parts and trailers. Some other tags are fitted with nice handles to enable attachment so that they can store as much information as is needed and has a good range for reading, mostly they are used in control of small inventory like network routers, servers and tapes for backups.

While making a decision on what type of labeling to use the ability of the tag to be long lasting and reliable is key so that the data stored can be retrieved without the dangers of loss due to poor handling or friction. It should be such that resistance against chemicals, conditions that could go to extremes or daily cleaning does not tamper with the data stored.

Companies can publicize themselves by printing their logo on these tags for them to stand out to all their customers. It is possible to print them yourself by creating a QR code sticker that is free that meets all the requirements of your business. For the non metallic material there are special tags that are water proof and track goods like sugar bags, furniture, pallets and tobacco.

Metallic assets can use P-Chief tags on items like cars, containers, trailers and trolleys or P-Apt tags on the applications that need very high memory to carefully store data to back up the servers, media, tapes and hard drives . It is important to have the durable tags that are intensity tested and made to last for a long period of time.

Often labels can be used over and over without messing up because they have the ability to come off cleanly and then be used again in another asset. These types are referred to as permanent removable or reusable. You can also buy those that are blank and then print what you want while for others the protection against abrasive conditions is guaranteed.
