Asset Tags for Equipment & Device Tracking

Asset Tags for Equipment & Device Tracking

Schools, government agencies, and healthcare organizations all have to keep track of the computers and equipment they own — Chromebooks, tablets, laptops, and everything else issued to staff or students — and for many of them, that's not just good practice, it's a real accounting or compliance requirement.

General information, not legal advice — confirm current requirements with your compliance officer or auditor.

Asset ID Labels

Intertronix's Custom Asset Identification Labels & Durable Asset Tags give every device a permanent, easy-to-scan ID, so your team can log what you own, where it is, and who's responsible for it — including Chromebook carts, tablets, and other devices that move between classrooms or staff. Serialized numbering, barcodes, and tamper-evident options are available, and stock sizes ship without artwork approval.

Why it matters

Government entities, including school districts, generally follow accounting standards (GASB Statement No. 34) that require them to track and report the value of equipment and other capital assets on their books. Healthcare organizations have their own rule: HIPAA's Security Rule (45 CFR 164.310(d)) requires tracking hardware and electronic media that could hold patient information, including a record of who's responsible for each device. In both cases, an accurate inventory starts with being able to identify each piece of equipment — which is exactly what an asset tag is for.
