What you do here

You register assets and devices (type, inventory/serial number, QR label, manufacturer, location) and track status, owner and the next maintenance/inspection. The list, the lifecycle board and the maintenance calendar keep you on top of things; overdue dates are highlighted.

Check-out & assignment

Owner = the permanently responsible person (custodian). Check-out/check-in models the temporary hand-over: “Check out” issues an asset to a person or a location (with a due-back date), “Check in” takes it back. Every hand-over stays in the history – so it is always provable who currently holds a device.

Photo & QR label

Add a photo per asset – devices are recognised faster by image than by name. The label value (QR/barcode) can be scanned straight into the form; it is unique across the database so a scan leads to the right record.

Inspection duties & proof

Many work equipment items carry recurring inspection duties: electrical equipment under DGUV Rule 3 (inspection by a qualified electrician), work equipment under BetrSichV § 14 (intervals from the risk assessment), plus lifts/TÜV and fire protection where applicable. This register keeps the asset and its next due date on record; the actual inspection/maintenance documentation lives in the Inspections and Maintenance modules, which reference these assets.

Fixed-asset accounting / depreciation

For fixed assets the acquisition value, acquisition date, useful life and book value matter. The ordinary useful life follows the official depreciation tables (§ 7 German Income Tax Act, straight-line); low-value assets (§ 6 (2)) can be written off at once. The record should be traceable per GoBD – values and dates are kept here for that purpose.
