Greetings,

Here is our solution at Bloominglabs. I don't know that it currently meets all of your needs but it's small and easily customizable. We started with a small and free IT-focused asset management package we found and optimized it for usage by hackerspaces/makerspaces. It does two main things: 1) keeps an inventory of your assets 2) allows printing of asset tags with QR codes. It can print batches of tags on full sheets of sticker paper as well as individual tags if a dedicated asset tag printer is used.

By default these things are included on the tag: Object type (oscilloscope, lathe, etc.), owner, asset id number, if training is required to use the tool, the URL of the asset system, and of course the QR code for a link to the object in the inventory system. This setup allows people both with and without smart phones to use the asset system (in the later case just the asset id number is required for a manual lookup).

Thanks,
