Checking In and Out Tools and Equipment

Checking In Out Tools and Equipment
2
Inventory Problems

• In the past, keeping track of inventory was a
  time consuming, frustrating process. Keeping
  track of what tools and equipment had been
  checked in and checked out required
• Manually filling out spread sheets
• Counting items by hand
• Trusting that everyone kept up with their
  responsibilities

3
Making Inventory Tracking Easy

• Thankfully, there have been advancements in
  cataloguing and tracking technology that make
  keeping an accurate record of the comings and
  goings of inventory easier than ever before.
  Web-based asset tracking systems allows companies
  to  
• Keep more accurate records
• More easily manage inventory
• Increase productivity
• Track individual users and hold them accountable

QR Codes

• QR asset tags are electronic bar codes attached
  to tools, electronics, files, and other items
  that are checked in and out or moved from place
  to place. QR tags are scanned when someone checks
  out an item, and then scanned again when the item
  is returned. The information on who checked an
  item out, how long they had it, and when they
  returned it is stored within the system.

5
Increase Productivity

• Electronic inventory tracking systems have many
  advantages, the first of which is making signing
  items in and out a much faster process. Instead
  of having to enter data by hand or simply
  trusting that employees will keep track of items
  and return them on their own, QR tags synced up
  to an electronic tracking system instantaneously
  record the movement of items on and off the
  shelves. By simplifying the process by which
  items are checked in and out, a QR code system
  can greatly increase worksite productivity.

Keep Track of Duplicate Items

• Another benefit of this kind of
  check-in/check-out system is that it makes it
  much easier to keep track of duplicate items.
  When using manual methods, it is easy to confuse
  two copies of the same tool, file, book, etc.,
  which makes keeping accurate records of each
  copy's movement very difficult. With a QR code
  system, each duplicate item will have its own
  unique code, making each one a distinct item
  under the inventory management system.

7
Reduce Losses Theft

• Because of the accuracy of electronic
  check-in/check-out systems, finding out who last
  scanned an item in or out makes finding missing
  items much easier. Missing items can easily be
  matched with the last unique scanner or login
  that was used to record it, and from there the
  person who used it. When items can be quickly
  paired with the person who misplaced it, theft
  and lost items can be greatly reduced.

Who Can Benefit from Electronic
Check-In/Check-Out Systems?

• Electronic check-in/check-out systems that
  utilize QR tags can benefit an array of
  industries and businesses, including
• Warehouses
• Offices
• Hospitals and medical supply companies
• Libraries
• Contractors
• Tool manufacturers and suppliers
• And much more!
