PartsBox includes ID Anything™, a feature that assigns a unique identification code to every item in your inventory. This code is embedded in a QR code, which can be printed on a label and attached to the corresponding item. By scanning the code, you can directly access the item's information page within PartsBox, making inventory management more efficient.

This means anyone in your organization can quickly access item information without special equipment.

ID Anything™ is particularly useful with lot control. By placing a barcode on a package containing parts, you can identify the specific lot and access information about its origin and usage history.
When you scan the ID Anything™ code on a completed device, you can see all build information, including which specific part lots were used. This helps with quality control and troubleshooting.
Here's how ID Anything™ can be used in daily operations:
PartsBox also offers shorter 8-character versions of ID Anything™ codes that can serve as alternative names. For example, part lots can automatically receive a short ID if you don't provide a custom name, helping maintain consistent identification across your inventory.
ID Anything™ is included in all plans, including the free Hobbyist/Maker plan. To view information associated with an ID Anything™ code, users must be logged in and have appropriate access rights, ensuring your inventory data remains secure.
