Full Definition
An Asset Tag is a unique identifier label (often a barcode, QR code, or RFID tag) attached to building equipment or assets for tracking and inventory management. Asset tags enable facility managers to quickly identify equipment, access maintenance records, track location, and manage inventory. Tags typically include a unique ID that links to asset records in CMMS systems, containing information such as equipment type, model, installation date, warranty information, and maintenance history. Asset tags are essential for effective asset management and maintenance tracking.
