Asset Protection for Schools

As more schools update their IT equipment with more portable devices and other teaching aids the process of keeping track of all these often expensive items has become extremely important. 

This is quite a challenge in some schools as there can be a clear separation between the staff who utilise the equipment (often the teaching staff) and those who's responsibility (often members of the admin team) it is to keep track of the location, quantity, condition and maintenance status of these items.

Those using school equipment want to be able to find and use the items they need quickly and be sure they are in good working order. Those responsible want to have clear traceability and updated records so they know where these items are and their condition. They can also then quickly address any shortages and damaged/lost equipment issues.

The best solution to meeting the needs of both these groups is to use an asset management system. Each asset is labelled with its own unique number or barcode and school name. The numbering system or barcode can be used to create an inventory, while the label with the school name helps to make the ownership of the item clearly visible.  The inventory can be combined with an asset register, a copy of which may be kept off-site or in a fire-proof safe that is locked each night, to prove ownership.

Taking asset protection seriously

When people can see that equipment is being tracked, there is a strong disincentive for items to be “borrowed” without permission. It is also reassuring to insurers would will need to ask fewer questions and can actually reduce the annual premium. 

Asset Labels - Which Ones to Choose

Asset labels vary depending on the materials used and these range from inexpensive vinyl through to highly durable materials such as aluminium foil and polyesters.  The asset label materials used are important because you don't want your labels to be easily removed.

For asset labels that clearly show any tampering “ultra destructible” asset labels use a material that will break into small pieces if someone attempts to remove it. 

For ultimate strength you can use aluminium or stainless steel asset identification plates with industrial adhesive – these require a tool to be removed!

Asset Tags - Asset Protection That Pays For Itself

What is the most cost effective way of stopping the misplacement of valuable equipment?

Protect you equipment and assets!

A recent school research project found that in over four fifths of schools each year at least one item of value goes “missing”. The survey, conducted by the School of Education Administration and Management, found that a substantial number of these “losses” originated from the ICT department.

This clearly highlights the high vulnerability of ICT equipment to theft and loss in schools and that steps do need to be taken to reduce these losses.

It is clear that any workable asset tracking solution will need:

• to actually reduces the level of items that go missing
• aiding the recovery of these items
• be cost effective 

Asset tags are a great security marking solution as when everyone can see that equipment is being tracked, there is a strong disincentive for the equipment to be “borrowed” without permission. 

A key benefit of asset tags is that the cost of using them is very cost effective and is far cheaper than replacing lost equipment each year. In addition schools are required to show proof of depreciation of assets, and having an asset tracking program in place will help schools keep an accurate record of the condition of their equipment ensuring this process runs smoothly. 

Asset tags and school insurance

Tracking your assets with asset tags also reduces questions from insurers and can even help to reduce your premiums as your insurance company can sees that the school is taking the issue of asset protection seriously.

Asset tag materials and properties.

Asset tags can be printed on a range of materials from polyester to aluminium and may include a barcode with a readable number or a readable asset number only. As the asset tag labels cannot be removed from one item and placed on another, you inhibit the use of the trick in which the label from a low-cost item is removed and put on a high cost item.  

The thought of the thief is that when the high-cost item is “lost”, no one will worry too much, as the system shows it as a low-cost item.  Now that problem is avoided.

Securing Your Valuable Company Assets

As budget cuts continue to be the focus in many companies many departments are looking to make better use of their existing equipment and assets and only purchase new items if they are really necessary.

To do this effectively you need to have an audit of all your current assets and catalogue key information about each item including location, member of staff assigned to and condition. This way you will have a clear picture of what you have and perhaps more importantly its condition, which is vital for making the best use of your budgets.

With this know ledge you can clearly see which items need to be repaired or replaced and in addition where there is sufficient stock.

Keeping your asset information up-to-date should now be seen as an important management tool and the benefits of proper asset tracking are countless, but the top three include:

• saves man hours because you don't have to hunt down missing equipment
• saves money because you don't need to replace "lost" or misappropriated assets
• leads to better utilization of assets because you are able to better track maintenance and service records as well as other valuable information

What are my company assets?

Sometimes called fixed assets a company’s assets can include a wide variety of items from documents to furniture and also equipment and tools. If it’s of value to your company and can be moved, damaged or lost it’s an asset.

The best way to keep track of your assets is to make them with a barcode or serial number so that they can be recorded against your asset records quickly and efficiently. This can be achieved using asset labels, metal nameplates and asset or security marking.

Including a barcode on your asset label or plate is often easy and cost effective; you can easily keep track of a wide variety of assets from small items to large equipment. At times when you need to send your assets out of your company premises for repair or other purpose, your asset labels differentiate your assets from other similar items.

For very small items 2D Data Matrix codes can be used, which hold a lot of information in a very small space.

Asset Labels with Your Logo

Asset labels with your company logo not only help identifying your asset, but also help you keep your company logo or name in front of others. Thus you can use these logo labels to advertise your business as well as your products.

Today, every organisation is aware of the need to keep track of its valuable assets. Whether fixed or moveable, each asset when marked with a label will help you locate it easily. Not only the location, but you can check which particular asset is used by which person. Additionally, the asset labels protect your expensive assets from theft as well.

Cost Effective Equipment Tracking

Cost Effective Equipment Tracking

What is the most cost effective way of keeping track of the location and condition of all your equipment?

For organisations keeping track of all your equipment can be a difficult and resource intensive task. What is needed is an asset management system that is cost effective and clearly shows which item has been moved or loaned, who has it, and what condition it is in.

In an ideal situation everyone in your organisation would return equipment to the correct place and at the correct time plus report any faults or problems. Sadly this is not the norm, but by using a dedicated asset management system people are given more incentive to manage your equipment correctly, bring the ideal much closer to reality.

Asset labels play a big part in asset management and Dantech are experts in a wide number of asset marking and labelling solutions.

Dantech's ID MINI MARK labels can include a serial number and/or 2D barcode thus making it possible to contain a lot of data in a small space. These asset labels are also small enough to fit onto even small accessories. Furthermore, because the data is engraved into the surface of the equipment they resist chemicals and cleaning materials.

With tamper evident technology should anyone try to remove or switch these small asset labels to some other equipment the material will break into small pieces, showing clearly the label has been interfered with.

Dantech Mini Mark labels are available with white text on black or silver material with black text. For more information call us on 01354 688488 or visit http://www.idassetlabels.co.uk
