Find equipment by scanning

Scan or search

Open Scan. On iPhone, choose Scan equipment barcode for the phone camera. To use a keyboard-style barcode reader, focus Enter barcode and scan the label. If the reader sends Return, the app looks up the unit; otherwise tap Find equipment. You can also type the code and tap Find equipment.

On the website, focus Unit barcode and scan or type the code. Press Return or select Look up. Check that the intended unit appears. A handheld reader must be compatible with your device and enter text like a keyboard; no specific model has been validated with TrackDME.

A scan identifies equipment. Confirm the correct rental and action before changing its custody or readiness.

Equipment leaving

Use an existing reservation from Rentals, or create one for the customer first. Open it and select Check out. Choose the actual units or quantity that leave.

A future reservation holds equipment without saying it has already left. Record checkout when the handoff happens.

Equipment returning

Open the rental and select Receive return. Receive only what physically came back and choose the appropriate readiness condition.

Returned equipment in Cleaning or Repair remains unavailable. After the work is complete, open Equipment and select Mark ready.

Scanning is optional

Search and manual barcode entry provide the same path when the camera is blocked, a label is damaged, or a staff member is working at a computer.
