Barcode, QR Code or RFID for Asset Tagging

Do you need to tag your assets?

Should You Tag Your Assets?

Asset tagging isn’t mandatory - but in many environments, it significantly improves accuracy, efficiency and control.

The right approach depends on how your assets are used, audited and maintained. Options include barcodes, QR codes, RFID, or a combination.

Benefits of Asset Tagging

Reduce Human Error

Scanning barcodes, QR codes or RFID tags removes manual data entry — reducing the risk of incorrect asset identifiers.

Reduce Audit Time

Scanning assets is significantly faster than manually recording asset details, especially across large portfolios.

Asset-Centric Maintenance

When integrated with a CMMS or maintenance system, technicians can scan an asset and instantly access work orders, history and asset data.

Improve Asset Visibility

Tagged assets are easier to locate when needed — reducing downtime and frustration.

Reduce Theft and Misappropriation

Visible tagging discourages theft and makes it clear assets are being tracked.

Branding & Identification

For service providers, branded asset tags reinforce ownership and visibility at customer sites.

Which Tagging Method Is Right

There’s no one-size-fits-all solution.
The right choice depends on:

  • Asset type and environment

  • Volume of assets

  • Audit frequency

  • Integration with existing systems

  • Budget and operational needs

We help clients determine whether barcodes, QR codes, RFID — or a combination — makes the most sense.
