Asset Labeling And Security Tags

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.

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.

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!

Using barcode labels and asset tracking software makes it quick and easy to do an equipment audit. The labelling enhances good recording of available property, which enhances validity, accountability, a sense of belonging and responsibility.

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.
