We assign a unique load number to each and every collection. When the shipment arrives at our premises, we check the pallets and register it against this number. Next, the asset items are counted and Flection barcodes (with asset control numbers) are printed and attached to the items. The barcodes are scanned and the data is recorded in our system against the load number. Original serial numbers, including customer asset tags, are also scanned and entered into our receipt log.

Unique Asset Identifiers

We use random combinations of numbers and upper and lower case characters to tag equipment in our facilities. We find these combinations are awkward to hand-key, thus forcing the use of barcode scanning equipment. Where hand-keying is required to identify an asset, we use the last digit to normalize a checksum with the result that 97% of manual keying mistakes are eliminated.
