Slab labels, QR codes, barcodes and RFID

Give each physical piece a record the floor can find.

SlabOS labels connect physical stock to an individual inventory record. The operating guides cover label design/printing and scanning workflows, while the product description also includes RFID. The serial number and stored slab identity are what make a scan useful after a slab has moved or become a remnant.

A label workflow spans software, printer, media and reader. A preview establishes the intended content, but a physical print and successful scan establish that the dimensions, contrast and encoded value work on the shop’s hardware. Keep inventory labels separate from the beta piece-label workflow used for fabrication parts.

Inputs, outputs and an example to evaluate

Inputs: An inventory identity, label content, physical stock and supported scanning or printing equipment.

Outputs: A readable tag and a corresponding inventory record or location action.

Show a sample slab label being scanned and the matching identity, material and location in SlabOS.

Scope to understand

RFID and printer compatibility require device-specific testing. The inspected implementation does not substitute for an observed hardware result.

Current product capabilities

SlabBridge is SlabOS’s Windows service for connecting shop-side inventory and fabrication systems. It includes Slabsmith inventory and image ingestion, supported create/update writeback and Horus scanner imagery. The connected records supply material context for SlabOS quoting, nesting and warehouse work. Read the SlabBridge, Slabsmith & Horus page →

The current label page describes configurable slab tags, batch labels, QR identification, Zebra printing and a true-to-size HTML fallback. It also describes RFID-oriented inventory counting; a specific device and operating environment should accompany any compatibility demonstration. Read the Slab Labels & QR page →
