QR labels

Cobblr prints QR labels for your items and locations. Scan a label later and it takes you straight to that thing in Cobblr, so a bin, a machine, or a shelf is one scan away from its record.

Printing labels

Pick what you want labels for and they go into a print queue. Print one or a batch, and Cobblr keeps a history of what you've printed.

Before a big batch

The link inside a label is baked in at print time, and by default it carries the address you're using right now. Trying things out, or only ever printing a handful? Not a big deal; reprinting a few labels is nothing. About to label a hundred bins? Read QR label URLs first and pick an address that will survive your setup changing: a few minutes setting it up now beats peeling and re-stickering every bin later.

Scan to jump

Each label carries a code tied to one item or location. Scanning it opens that record, or runs an action on it. Stick a label on a bin and you never search for it again: scan, and you're there.

Filing by scanning

Location labels also drive putting things away. The scans funnel down the location tree: scan a room's label and you're working in that room, scan a container's label and the container is filed there and becomes where things land, scan an item's barcode and the item goes into that container. Label your rooms and bins once, and tidying is a series of scans instead of a series of forms.

Labels pair naturally with locations (label your shelves and bins) and with inventory (label the parts themselves).
