Education Solutions by GSM Barcoding
Asset Management for Education
Asset tracking solutions enable educational administrators and teachers to track fixed assets, efficiently manage loaned and borrowed equipment and plan maintenance and asset replacement.
Through tagging, barcoding and logging assets in an asset tracking system, schools create an asset register that identifies the assets held, their locations, maintenance history and usage history.
GSM Barcoding can assist schools in their asset tracking with asset tags, handheld barcode scanners or RFID readers, facilitating effective tracking and tracing for accuracy and speed.
Card Printing for Schools
Print staff, student and guest ID cards on demand with the latest card printers from GSM Barcoding. Schools, colleges, and universities can benefit from ID cards, creating a secure, safe learning environment. Integrate access control, identification, and linking to transactional applications with one convenient solution.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are barcodes used for in schools, colleges or universities
Barcodes can be used to Auto-ID assets & people and control access to campus. Areas often used with barcodes include library book tracking, asset management, ID cards, exam paper tracking, canteen services and student interaction. Coupled with barcoding is the communications and cloud computing advantage that barcode mobile computers bring to the operational management of the educational sector.
How does barcoding in education reduce costs in education?
Implementing a barcoding system can significantly reduce the occurrence of lost or stolen assets, including IT equipment. By scanning assets into an asset tracking system, schools can automate manual inventory management. This automation not only saves time for administrative and IT staff but also helps prevent unnecessary purchases resulting from misplaced items.
Can barcode systems work with contactless or smart cards?
Barcoding is a method of representing data visually through encoded symbols. This technology is complemented by the use of RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) and smart cards, which contain either a contactless chip or a magnetic strip. These technologies offer secure access control, enable cashless catering solutions, and are utilised in various printing systems, enhancing efficiency and security in numerous applications.
What are the ROI advantages for schools?
Investment in educational technologies can yield quick returns, as managers are able to efficiently recoup their initial costs. Schools experience significant advantages, including reduced losses related to IT and audio visual equipment. Additionally, administrative burdens are reduced through the implementation of barcode automation, leading to better time management and improved audit compliance across various campus locations.
