- Maintenance teams — scan a barcode tag on each pump or motor to pull service history on the spot.

FAQ
Will a QR code still scan after years outdoors?
Laser-engraved codes on anodized or stainless stock keep contrast and stay scannable in sun and rain far longer than printed labels.
Can you sequence a serial number or code across the whole batch?
Yes, send a starting number or a code list and each tag is marked individually in one production run.
Adhesive or holes — which mounting should I choose?
Adhesive suits smooth indoor surfaces; holes and rivets suit curved, textured, or outdoor equipment where adhesive can lift.
How long does an asset tag last outdoors?
Stainless and anodized aluminum tags typically remain legible and scannable for years of outdoor exposure; salt-spray testing is available on request.
