Custom QR Tags
Metal QR Tags are extremely useful for spot identification of oil sampling points and component task locations. When installed properly, QR Tags can easily be read by your mobile phone with the myLab phone app or using a barcode/QR scanner with the myLab web application.
Standard Equipment Tag
The standard QR equipment tag is 1″ x 3″ and includes the QR code only. To associate a Tag to your equipment or component simply scan the Tag with your mobile device when entering equipment information, then scan the sample jar to associate the sample to the equipment Tag. You can purchase these tags online in our Fluid Life Shop.
