Asset Tags

What Are Asset Tags?

Asset tags—also known as property tags, ‘property of’ tags, asset tag labels, inventory tags, or property ID labels—identify various pieces of physical assets. Most organizations rely on these to label and track inventory as well as discourage fraud. Some organizations opt to use asset tags for their moveable assets, such as computers.

The Benefits of Labeling Assets

Detailed and reliable asset tags are crucial in industrial applications. Many of our partners need to keep track of hundreds—and sometimes even thousands—of different physical assets. Tracking inventory and capital on this scale requires more than just a manual count of goods. Asset labels allow insight into critical information like operating condition, location, and more.

Inland Products also works closely with clients who perform tasks outside of company facilities. Applications that require products to be brought out into the field present a handful of unique challenges. Not only can conditions lead to damage, but equipment and products can also be lost or stolen. Using asset tags to label these goods helps mitigate the chances of losing products or equipment forever.

An organization can benefit from asset tags thanks to:

A simplified asset tracking process
Easier automation for data collection and documentation
The ability to implement automated routine maintenance
The freedom to track repairs
Cost-tracking capabilities
Maintenance and downtime monitoring
Reduced likelihood of theft or loss of assets

Some organizations opt to utilize asset tags that include built-in security features, which make it easy for organizations to deter theft and control their assets.

Applications for Asset Tagging

Most organizations opt to track a select group of their assets, such as exceptionally expensive pieces of equipment and tools. Goods like these can present a significant expense to a brand if they’re lost, damaged, misused, or stolen. Business-critical goods often benefit from asset tags as well.

Brands can also choose to track additional assets on an as-needed basis. If much of an organization’s work is performed in the field, for example, they may benefit from asset tagging work equipment that wouldn’t be tagged in-house.

Here are a few applications or industries that rely on asset tags:

Computers
Appliances
Medical equipment and devices
Power tools
Furniture
Industrial machinery, tools, and equipment
Vehicles
Education
Military/defense
Oil and gas

Using asset tags in these instances can help with a variety of tasks, including tracking expenses, staying on top of maintenance and regulation requirements, reducing errors in manual data collection, and streamlining service for customers.
