QR Code Tracking

Each equipment item gets a unique QR code:

Tips

  • Audit equipment quarterly — update conditions and catch missing items.
  • Use serial numbers for high-value items to prevent loss.
  • Track maintenance costs to plan replacement budgets.
  • Decommission items that are beyond repair instead of leaving them as "Poor" condition.
