Sequential
numbering of Barcode
Sticker asset tags typically uses numerical sequences beginning
with any starting number. For example, an asset numbering sequence
could begin with 01001 and would progress to 01002, 01003,
etc. Sequential numbers allow for unique identification of fixed
assets.
Prefixes
can be used to reference departments, subsidiaries or divisions
of an enterprise. Assets purchased in a specific year can be encoded
using a prefix as well. Letter prefixes or suffixes would make them
read C-01001 or 01001-C to incorporate additional element which
doesn't change within that numerical sequence.
Sequentially
numbered tags can be used without barcoding if small numbers of
assets are being tagged for small businesses which can't justify
the scale required to invest in barcoding readers and barcode software
for their company or don't require barcoding. Color coded asset
tags can be added to the mix if extra levels of complexity are required.
BarCoding
& Sequential Numbering of Property ID Asset Security Labels:
Barcode
scanners transmit a beam of light across the bars and spaces of
a Barcode
Sticker asset tag and it reflects back to the reader from the spaces between
bars, converting those alternating light and dark spaces to numerical
equivalents once it is transferred by the computer to the database
from portable readers. In order to make use of barcoding, three
elements are required.
-
Scanners and transfer equipment to move the scanned data from
the portable reader to a computer with software capable of moving
the scanned data to a database of the encoded items.
-
Computers with software capable or reading that scanned data and
managing the database of items and capable of creating relevant
reports and information connected to those assets.
-
Sequentially numbered (human readable) and barcoded (machine readable)
asset tags or labels to attach to assets.
Barcoding
benefits are numerous for Property ID applications. Barcode readers
capture encoded data fast and with near-perfect accuracy. This has
the effect of lowering costs, reducing mistakes, and speeding
management of extensive corporate, government or educational institution
assets.
