Keeping track of equipment is much easier when every asset has a clear, scannable label.
Barcode and QR code asset labels can help businesses identify equipment, manage records, track maintenance and reduce the time spent manually checking asset numbers. But for the system to work properly, the label needs to stay readable.
At Miller Metal Imaging, we manufacture durable metal asset labels, tags and plates with barcodes, QR codes, sequential numbering and custom information for long-term equipment identification.
From Manual Checks to Quick Scans
A barcode or QR code gives each asset a unique identity. Instead of manually typing or checking serial numbers, staff can scan the label and connect the item to the right record, register or maintenance information.
This can be useful for:
- Equipment tracking
- Asset audits
- Maintenance records
- Stocktakes
- Tool and machinery identification
- Department or location tracking
- Serial number management
For businesses managing large numbers of assets, scannable labels can make equipment identification faster, clearer and more consistent.
Barcode or QR Code: What’s the Difference?
Both options can be useful for asset tracking.
Barcodes are simple, reliable and widely used for asset numbers, serial numbers and inventory systems.
QR codes can hold more information in a compact space and can often be scanned with a smartphone or compatible scanner. They can also link to online records, manuals, maintenance details, inspection forms or other digital information.
The right choice depends on how the label will be scanned, what information it needs to carry and how your asset management system is set up.
Why Durability Matters
A barcode or QR code is only useful if it can still be scanned.
In industrial, outdoor and high-use environments, standard stickers can fade, scratch, peel or become unreadable. Once a code is damaged, the asset may become harder to identify, track or maintain. That’s why using the right material for your needs maters.
Miller’s Photo Anodised Aluminium labels are designed for long-term readability. The information is embedded into the aluminium and sealed within the anodised layer, helping protect the barcode, QR code, serial number or text from UV exposure, weather, chemicals, abrasion and general wear.
For heavier-duty applications, Stainless Steel tags and plates are also available.

Miller can produce asset labels with:

Labels Made for Your Tracking System
Every business tracks assets differently. Some need simple numbered labels. Others need QR codes connected to digital records, barcodes for scanning systems or custom tags for harsh environments.
Miller can help recommend the right material, size, layout and fixing method for your application.
