Before you start

Role needed: any signed-in member. Ask an Owner if an action is unavailable.

1

Open Scan on a phone browser

Sign in to app.orbitequip.com and choose Scan. Point the camera at the asset's OrbitEquip QR label. If you cannot use the camera, switch to Type or Browse.

Example phone-browser state where the browser cannot find a camera; Type and Browse remain available.
2

Check the tool out

On the result, choose Check out. Assign the tool to yourself or enter the person or job name shown by the form. Add a return due date if the team wants to track when it should come back.

This scan result is ready for a check-out. The sample asset is synthetic.
3

Scan again and check it back in

When the tool returns, scan its label again and choose Check in. OrbitEquip closes the open assignment and records the return in asset history.

The example shows the current holder and the Check in action before submission. Sample data is synthetic.

Tips

Keep in mind

Troubleshooting

The asset cannot be checked out because it is in maintenance.

Check: Review its current maintenance record and status.

Fix: Have an Owner or Admin resolve the maintenance work when the tool is safe to use, then retry.
