Sweepy Barcode Scanner Companion for Lansweeper
Also known as SBSC, or Sweepy
This project aims to make the tasks of inventory and asset info for a tech in the field possible with a mobile device. Currently Lansweeper (https://www.lansweeper.com) does not have this functionality available.
Currently working:
- Look up assets based on their barcode field.
- Inventory all assets within a room.
- Update LastPhysicalInventortyTime (Custom15) to the tblAssetCustom table each time the asset is scanned
- Add a comment to the asset each time it's scanned
To Do:
- Add comment with old and new inventory information
- Allow asset lookup by serial number, MAC address, etc. in addition to barcode field
- Implement system to allow scanning of barcodes by the camera on a smartphone
- Update keystroke capture to be by JavaScript and not by a text input box. Too easy to click out of
- Make a clear visual indicator when a barcode scans correctly
- Show more info about the asset directly in the page, and a link to load more in the full Lansweeper webpage (as a new tab)
How to inventory a room: - Create barcodes for each room in the format "ROOM_Location_Building_Department_Branch Office" * Spaces are okay * Replace the relevant information in this barcode with the field values you want in Lansweeper * Room prefix is defined in conf/config.php - Scan the room barcode - Scan barcode of each asset in room * Leading zeros will be stripped from the barcode automatically, therefore the BarCode field in Lansweeper should have these removed before hand. This may be a future place for improvement. - Scan barcode for room again to exit inventory more * Any barcode starting with the "ROOM" prefix may be scanned to conclude the inventory
