Posted on March 12, 2010
Use Location Barcodes. The assets must have correct locations in order to realize many of the benefits of asset tracking. To make this simpler, many people find that making a location barcode helps a handheld technician select the proper location. It is quicker and more accurate than selecting a location from dropdown lists. Location barcodes can be located in a doorway or near a cubicle, etc. Do not barcode the actual name of the location, just barcode the unique location identifier.
