Overview
Summary
This project is to explore asset tracking tags for important Hive13 assets to accomplish:
- Uniquely Identify the asset with a tracking number
- Provide a consistent basis to audit the inventory of assets
- Use the tracking number as a QR link to the asset on the wiki.
Hive13 needs to report assets to the state of Ohio on an annual basis.

Project Status
Began 8/15/19 - Operational beginning 02/08/2020
Project Strategy
- Explored what it takes to create QR links for 100+ tools on the wiki
- Generated links to pre-generated QR codes was a problem, but the team solved it by creating Tag pages to record the connection between QR code, tag number and the asset wiki page.
- The cost of custom asset tags is roughly >4X the off the shelf price > Print yourself tags.
- So we printed them.
Conclude:
- Separate asset inventory tracking numbers from Human and Machine readable signs.
- Hive13 prints and applies serialized asset tags for all assets.
- Assets include donations, loans and purchased items. See Donation Policy
- Create intermediate asset tag tracing page in the wiki
- The Asset Tag QR code takes you to the wiki page for the asset.
- Hive13 prints and applies serialized asset tags for all assets.
