QR Codes for Inventory – Explained Simply

To quickly call up your inventory data or create new data, you can also simply add the QR codes from Inventory ONE to the individual items of equipment. A QR code can be scanned by anyone in your team. No additional hardware or an extended version of the software is required. A camera on a smartphone, tablet, laptop or computer is all you need.

The QR code stickers from Inventory ONE are very robust and have already proven themselves many times over in everyday work with inventory. They are oil, chemical and UV-resistant and waterproof. They are also resistant to disinfectants. Even extreme temperatures of up to +150°C or -40°C do not harm them.

Various methods such as NFC, RFID and Bluetooth tags were tested during the development of Inventory ONE. In the end, our experts opted for QR codes because this simple technology was the most convincing.

On the one hand, QR codes are less error-prone than those with an electronic tag. On the other hand, they are a very cost-effective solution that does not require any costly modifications to the inventory. However, if a QR code sticker breaks or becomes too dirty, all you need is a new sticker.

• A smartphone (a built-in camera is sufficient)
• Inventory ONE (generates QR codes and links them to data records)
• Labels (print them yourself or order them from Inventory ONE)

That's all.
