In Gearbelt, you can generate blank QR codes and assign them to assets at a later stage. This is especially useful when assets are new, not yet on-site, or not yet entered into the system. It also helps when an existing QR code becomes damaged or lost, allowing you to quickly print and assign a new code without interrupting workflows. This guide explains how to assign a blank QR code to an asset using your mobile device.
