Generating and printing QR codes
Every asset, job, and item in Tero.Ops has a unique QR code. Print it, stick it on the physical item, and field crews can scan to jump to the right record in seconds.
Where to find the QR code
On any asset’s detail page, look for the QR code panel on the right (or under “More actions” on mobile).
You’ll see a preview of the QR plus three actions:
- Download PDF — a print-ready sheet
- Copy link — for emailing or messaging
- Print — opens the browser print dialog
Downloading the PDF
Click Download PDF. You get a single A4 sheet with the QR code in the centre, the asset name above, and the asset number below.
Print sizes and label templates
For sticking on equipment you’ll usually want smaller labels:
| Size | Use |
|---|---|
| 50 × 50 mm | Small components — pumps, valves, sensors |
| 100 × 100 mm | Mid-size — engines, panels |
| A5 / A4 | Vessel-level or operator stations |
Print onto durable label stock (vinyl or polyester) for marine/industrial environments — standard paper won’t survive.
Best places to put QR stickers
- At eye level when the operator is in working position
- Away from heat sources and moving parts
- Where lighting is good — under poor light, even a clean QR is slow to scan
- Wipe-able surface — grease and salt destroy unprotected stickers fast
Bulk QR generation
For a new worksite or vessel with hundreds of assets, generating QRs one at a time is impractical. Use Worksite settings → Bulk QR export to download a single PDF with every asset’s QR on it.
