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.

Labels on the items are used to identify them. These labels can be used on different situations like, Personal requirements, commercial, industrial or Government. Manufactured equipment labels usually have a semi-permanent adhesive backing. Some has metal overlaid plate where the information or reference is attached. Some adhesives can be permanent but usually creates issues when you need to sell that certain asset. This will make it hard when it comes to removing a tag.

There is a wide range of diversity when it comes to Asset labels. These can be used indoors or out even in harsh weather. In industrial environments these tags are used to identify assets for operational purposes. These labels are sometimes used for security purposes. Usually for people with a business and wants their business property protected and secured.

Labels also enhance easy retrieve of item and offers a sound inventory management and control system. It is important for many businesses to know where all their equipment is all the time - this may be for security reasons, as well as for efficiency. Using a labelling system will enable you to locate items at a glance or at the touch of a button. Precious time and money can be wasted when the management of equipment is disorganized. Often businesses misplace items, waste ages looking for them and fork out for a replacement, only for them to turn up at a later date. Labels make equipment much easier to manage and locate.

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!

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.

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.

Security tags give extra protection and can be run alongside a security database enabling the easy return of miss-placed or lost property. Obviously, this is always dependent on the finder being honest and wanting to return the item.
