QR Codes

Scan the equipment. Open the record. Log the work.

FixLog QR labels connect the thing you are standing next to with its service history, documents, reminders, costs, and notes. See how the whole equipment repair log fits together.

How the QR workflow works

Put the maintenance record where the work happens.

QR labels reduce searching and make it easier to open the right asset record in equipment rooms, shops, kitchens, farms, field work, and facilities.

1. Create an asset

Add the equipment, appliance, room, tool, vehicle, or system with location, serial number, vendor, warranty, notes, and photos.

2. Generate or print a label

Create a scannable QR code for that asset and print a label that fits the environment where it will live.

3. Place it where it is useful

Put the label on equipment, tools, vehicles, rooms, safety gear, or a protected tag near the asset.

4. Scan to open the record

Open the exact FixLog asset record instead of searching by name, room, category, location, or serial number.

5. Review history

Check prior maintenance, notes, documents, costs, vendors, parts, warranties, and follow-up items before starting work.

6. Log new work

Add the maintenance entry, update reminders, attach documents or photos, and keep the asset’s record current for next time.

From the asset to its label

Keep the shortcut with the equipment.

The asset detail screen shows its QR code and a Share QR Code action. Use FixLog's QR label tools to prepare labels, then place the appropriate label on or near each asset.

In FixLog on iPhone or iPad, choose Scan QR from the asset list and allow camera access. A recognized label opens the matching record when that asset is available on the device. Review the previous work before adding a new entry.

Example app data: each asset has its own QR code and asset ID.

What happens when you scan?

Does the label open a public website?

No. It identifies a FixLog asset. It does not publish your documents or maintenance history, create a shared web page, or grant someone access to your records.

Can I scan it on another device?

The matching asset must already be available in FixLog on that device. Printing or sharing the label does not transfer the asset record.

What if the asset is missing?

FixLog reports “Asset not found on this device.” Check that the correct record is available on the device you are using. A QR code from another system is rejected as not belonging to FixLog.

Does scanning require an internet connection?

The in-app camera scanner works locally. The asset must already be present; a label cannot download a missing record.

Which features require Pro?

QR label generation and printing are included with FixLog Pro. See current pricing and the complete feature list.

Practical uses

Use QR labels on assets people actually service.

Place them on kitchen equipment, HVAC units, rental gear, vehicles, tools, safety equipment, rooms, shop equipment, point-of-sale hardware, facility assets, or anything that gets checked repeatedly.

Why it helps

Less searching. Better records.

QR labels are especially useful in work areas, equipment rooms, shops, breweries, small facilities, rental operations, and field work where the person doing the work may not know the exact asset name.
