Common use cases

  • IT departments tagging laptops, monitors, and peripherals for inventory tracking
  • Schools and universities labelling classroom equipment with serial-numbered asset tags
  • Offices tagging furniture and equipment for insurance records and audits
  • Rental businesses tagging hire equipment for tracking and returns
  • Warehouses creating asset tags for tools and equipment in tool cribs

Common mistakes

  • Using a prefix that is too long - keep the prefix short so the full tag ID (prefix + number) fits readably on a small label.
  • Not keeping a record of which tag corresponds to which asset - the tag is only useful if you maintain a register of tag ID to asset.
