AssetSonar’s List of Recommended Hardware Integration

1. Hardware Integration and AssetSonar

AssetSonar allows you to effectively manage your IT assets by ironing out your check-in and checkout workflows. The system is capable of integrating with multiple Barcode, QR Code, and RFID tag scanners to clock in item details into the system as soon as the code on an item is scanned during check-in, checkout or reservation, etc.

2. Designing Print Labels in AssetSonar

AssetSonar also allows you to design barcode and QR code labels for your IT assets, and print them out on Avery compatible sticky papers. However, RFID tags cannot be printed with our system and most of our current customers opt for bulk commercial printing of RFID tags for their assets.

For QR Code or Barcode, it is important to analyze which of the two will be ideal for your requirements and business practices.

3. Hardware Integration Recommendations

In this blog, we list down some of AssetSonar’s Hardware Integration recommendations. Let’s take you through a list of brands we have shortlisted for your convenience. Please ensure to use the latest version for better compatibility with your device.

3.1. Recommended Barcode and QR Code Printers

3.2. Recommended Barcode and QR Code Scanners

Honeywell Scanner MS9540
Netum Bluetooth Barcode Scanner
TSL RFID 1128 Scanner
Honeywell Voyager XP 1472g – barcode scanner

Before you end up purchasing a scanner, make sure you’re buying the right kind. Barcode scanners can be divided into 1-D and 2-D based on the different types of codes they read.

Note: Make sure your barcode scanner supports Code 39 barcodes to scan Print Labels generated via the AssetSonar Label Designer.

You can even set up and use barcode scanners in the AssetSonar mobile app. The QR codes can also be scanned via your smartphone camera if you have the AssetSonar mobile app installed on your smartphone.

3.3. Recommended RFID Scanners

We currently integrate with the TSL 1128 RFID scanner only. It is important to remember that the TSL scanner can only read Ultra High Frequency (UHF) tags ranging from a frequency of 840–960 MHz.

Note: All the printers and scanners should be HID compliant.
