Before a technician ever touches a piece of equipment, they usually spend several minutes finding out what it even is — walking to a binder, calling a supervisor, or typing an asset number into a search box and hoping it was entered correctly the last time. Across a hospital with thousands of tagged assets, those minutes add up to hours of every shift spent looking for information instead of using it. Book a free OxMaint demo and watch one QR scan open an asset's full history, manuals, and open work orders in under two seconds.

Expert Review
What a Biomedical Manager Sees Once Every Asset Is Tagged

We used to lose ten minutes per device just confirming which model it was and what the last service note said. Now a technician scans the tag and has the full file before they have even opened their toolbox.

Frequently Asked Questions
Mobile Asset Scanning for Hospital Technicians — Common Questions
Do we need new hardware to scan asset tags?
How do we tag thousands of existing assets without a long rollout?
OxMaint generates printable QR labels in bulk directly from your asset list, so most facilities complete initial tagging across a department in a single day.
What if a QR tag gets damaged or removed?
Does scanning work offline in basements and shielded equipment rooms?
Yes. Asset data relevant to a technician's assignments caches to the device in advance, so scanning and viewing records works the same with or without signal.
