Gearbelt lets you generate unique QR codes for each asset so your team can quickly access and update asset details. Scanning a QR code on a phone or tablet opens the asset profile, including maintenance history, readings, and compliance documents.
Recommended printing best practices
Use high-quality labels
Choose durable, weatherproof materials — especially for assets exposed to rain, dust, chemicals, or heavy handling. Professionally printed waterproof stickers are recommended for long-term use.
Choose the right QR code size
Make sure the QR code is large enough to scan easily from a normal working distance, but not so large that it takes up unnecessary space on the asset.
Print in high resolution
Always print QR codes in high resolution to ensure they are sharp and clear. Avoid blurry, faded, or low-quality prints, as these can cause scanning failures.
Protect labels in harsh environments
For outdoor or high-wear areas, consider laminating the label or using a protective cover to prevent scratching, peeling, or fading.
Test before applying
Before attaching the label to the asset, scan the QR code to confirm it works correctly and links to the correct asset.
Proper printing ensures your Gearbelt asset QR codes remain scannable, durable, and reliable in the field.
