Barcodes and QR Codes in Asset Management

The use of barcodes for identifying assets has been revolutionary in helping businesses improve data accuracy, and quality. Learn why your organisation should implement Barcodes or QR codes with your asset management system.

With the rise of cloud-based asset management tools, Barcodes and QR codes have become a cost-effective way to businesses of all sizes to manage and track their physical assets? Whether it’s being used for inventory and stock control or lifecycle management, they reduce long-term costs and allows software to utilise them as much as possible.

QR Codes & Asset Tagging

QR Codes are a simple but effective way to identify assets, and fire doors. A QR Code contains data which can be scanned using a mobile phone (which typically have inbuild cameras which can be used to scan and open up the data held within the QR Code.)

There is a common misunderstanding that scanning a QR Code solely opens up a URL – however this is not true. QR Codes can store not only URLs, but also values like an identification number for assets too.

Usually, a simple number sequence is used to identify each individual asset within a building, the QR Code simply contains this reference.

The complexity when deploying asset labelling can vary as per organisation or customer requirements, for example a fire door might just be referenced “FD00001”, or perhaps prefix it to be more detailed, for instance: A-000127 (This could refer to “Building A” and asset number “000127”). This is completely up to you and your supplier when ordering the sequential asset labels.

Importance of Fixed Asset Tagging on Fire Doors

Asset tagging opens up a wide range of data-collection and tracking possibilities, particularly when used alongside a computerised system. By attaching QR Code tags to Fire Doors, you can gather a wide range of data and record it in a digitised fixed asset register.

Having complete visibility into which assets are non-functional and require maintenance, reduces inefficiencies, and maximizes effective utilization of business resources. Implementing QR Codes / Barcodes with an asset management system onto your Fire Doors is an effective replacement for time-consuming manual methods such as pen and paper.

Having a structured approach to tagging and coding assets, allows you to treat each fire door as an individual asset. Completing your fire door inspections using asset tagging and a digital system increases the level of consistency and quality of that data. This in turn gives you the opportunity to build and maintain a detailed real time asset register per client and per site. The fact that a door is assigned a unique identification number sets each door apart, allowing them to be instantly recognisable in an asset management system. This will also help processes such as maintenance and inspections and assigning surveys to them.
