FieldEx allows technicians to locate assets quickly using either the search function or the transfer module. This feature is useful when you need to verify the current location of a machine, tool, or equipment in the field or in storage.

Method 1: Using the Transfer Module


Path: Module > Transfer > Locate

  • Open the Transfer module.

  • Select Locate Asset.

  • Choose the asset from the list or scan its QR/barcode using the in-app scanner.

  • The system will display the asset’s current location, including bin name, site, or storage zone.

Method 2: Using the Search Function


Path: Bottom Bar > Search > Locate Asset

  • Tap the Search icon at the bottom of the homepage.

  • Select Locate Asset.

  • Choose the asset from the list or scan its QR/barcode using the in-app scanner.

  • The system will show the current asset location including bin and zone details.

Tip: Use QR/barcode scanning for the fastest way to identify an asset and confirm its current location, especially when managing high-volume or mobile inventories.

Why This Matters


  • Helps field staff and warehouse teams locate assets without delays.

  • Reduces search time when preparing for inspections or jobs.

  • Improves visibility over mobile or frequently relocated assets.

  • Prevents errors in servicing or transferring the wrong equipment.
