QR Codes & Labels

Inventorix assigns every asset a UUID and can produce QR code labels that link directly to that asset record. There are two ways to generate labels: the QR Code Generator page (for pre-printing blank labels before assets are created) and the Print QR action on an existing asset.

Each QR code encodes the asset’s UUID as a plain string. When the Inventorix scanner reads the code it looks up that UUID and opens the asset’s edit page directly. Any phone’s built-in camera app or QR reader can also scan the label — the scanner component in the panel handles the redirect automatically (see Scanning QR codes).

The QR Code Generator lets you produce a batch of fresh UUIDs before the physical assets have been entered into the system. Open it from the main navigation.

  1. Enter the Anzahl (quantity) — how many unique UUIDs to generate.
  2. Leave Output Type set to Text File (currently the only available output type).
  3. Click TXT herunterladen.

The browser downloads a generated.txt file containing one UUID per line. Each UUID is guaranteed not to match any existing asset. You can use this list to pre-print labels, then import the assets later with the matching IDs (see Import & Export).

  1. Enter the quantity.
  2. Click Drucken.

A print modal opens. The modal sends the generated UUIDs to a Brother label printer connected via WebUSB.

In the print modal you can choose one of three layouts:

LayoutContent
QR onlyQR code alone, no text
QR + UUIDQR code plus a shortened UUID below
QR + Asset-InfoQR code with model name and serial number — only available when the asset already has both

Because UUIDs generated here are new and not yet linked to any asset, only QR only and QR + UUID are available in this flow.

Select the label roll type that matches what is loaded in the printer. The selection is saved in the browser and remembered for next time.

Click Verbinden (pair) in the modal the first time you use a new printer. The browser shows a WebUSB device picker. Once paired, the connection is reused automatically on subsequent visits.

On any existing asset row in the assets table, open the row action menu and choose QR drucken. The same print modal opens, pre-loaded with that asset’s UUID and metadata.

You can also select multiple assets with the table checkboxes, then choose QR drucken from the bulk-action toolbar — all selected assets are queued as a single print job.

When an asset has both a model name and a serial number, the QR + Asset-Info layout becomes available, printing the model name and serial number as text lines below the QR code. If either field is missing, only QR only and QR + UUID layouts are selectable.
