Business Benefits Of Asset Labeling

By Roger Young


If you hold valuable assets within your company, such as IT equipment, high-tech electrical devices or valuable machinery, it is essential to label them. Asset labeling enables you to keep an inventory of your assets and guard against theft. There are a number of different asset labels around that are suitable for a variety of purposes. If you operate in a heavy industry environment then metallic labels can withstand harsh external forces. These metallic plates are tough enough to survive intense heat, chemicals, and abrasion.

To begin with, there exists a wide range of items that may be labeled, this includes Laptops, Tools, Protective clothing, Equipment and Any items which are very valuable or need to be tracked. Here are the benefits accruing from the practice of labeling assets:

If your equipment is going to be outside or subjected to wet conditions then stainless steel plates may be the answer. They give guaranteed protection against harsh weather, abrasion, and corrosion. In fact, if you work in the food and catering industry and want to label your equipment, stainless steel plates are compulsory in certain food environments. This is in order to prevent metal corrosion contaminating food products.

In order to withstand outside forces, the barcodes and data are fused into a ceramic surface on the stainless steel plate and can withstand most chemicals and temperatures of up to 1000 degrees centigrade.

As an aside note, if you record all the tagged items within an excel spreadsheet or within a software programme on your PC, the item then is indeed electronically traceable!

Using barcode labels and asset tracking software makes it quick and easy to do an equipment audit. The labelling enhances good recording of available property, which enhances validity, accountability, a sense of belonging and responsibility.

So there are a number of ways to protect valuable equipment with ID asset labels that are strong and durable. These industrial and tamper evident labels ensure that you can take stock of your property and keep it secure.

Simply put, item labels are an investment which can save your company money in the short and long-term. You'll waste less time and money on looking for equipment and replacing items that are lost or stolen. Item labels prevent theft and item swapping. Labels are available which are permanent or which leave a VOID mark if removed, making stolen or swapped goods pretty much useless in terms of being sold on.
