Business Benefits Of Asset Labeling

By Roger Young


Asset labels are numbered labels which are attached to your valuable business items. You can also use barcode labels with asset management software. As well as the number being on a label, it is also stored in a log by you - this may be a manual log or an automatic system which uses barcodes and asset management software. This article highlights the business usefulness of asset labeling.

Barcodes and other details can be included in the design of these industrial labels so that details of your equipment can be easily scanned into a computer, listed and immediately identified. For example, aluminum plates and foils can include precision printed details such as sequentially numbered barcodes and 2D codes that are sealed in the aluminum with protective anodizing; providing years of protection against heat, cold, chemicals and abrasion. Teflon is also available as a label material for particularly extreme environments. Labels can be fixed with mechanical fasteners through punched holes for extra strength in such harsh conditions.

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.

The ability for your industrial labels to withstand harsh environments is not the only consideration when marking your equipment. If you are labeling your equipment for security reasons it is essential that the labels must also be tamper-evident. Tamper evident labels cannot be made out of metal so are more suitable for equipment that is less susceptible to damage by harsh external forces. They are usually plastic labels that are supplied with a strong, high tack adhesive that will bond to most surfaces.

To add durability to these tamper evident labels they are supplied with a clear lamination to protect the printed image. If the label is removed then the word 'void' is left on the surface and on the label itself, therefore clearly showing evidence of tampering. This is a theft deterrent but also discourages unauthorized asset transfers.

Goods marked with labels will be recognizable as belonging to your company at a glance, as you can have the labels personalized with your company logo and details - if items do go missing, you're also more likely to get them back. Many types of businesses and organizations benefit from item labels such as schools, manufacturers, IT firms, government departments, police, universities, healthcare firms and more.

There are a lot of companies that provide equipment Labels. An easier way to find someone who can provide you with these kinds of labels is via the Internet. Technology has outdone itself again. This kind of technology assures as that there will be more great discoveries and easier ways for our protection. We sure want to protect our own companies that we worked hard to build. Or our personal things that mean a lot to us.
