Asset tracking with QR codes and app

The power equipment can be scanned into the database using a QR code scanner app on android or iPhone which every employee owns. Using the app and QR codes, constant updating of information on each power equipment, maintenance schedule, date of purchase and location can be viewed.
The ease of app and QR code scanning lets the employees and the managers perform asset tracking from anywhere in the world or while traveling. Updating the details as and when the changes happen or when the parts are replaced are also easy with the app and the QR codes. Being two-dimensional, the QR codes let you store more information including images, messages, and texts, unlike barcodes.
