There are several ways to link tags to equipment in Onix, depending on whether it is Onix ID Tags, Onix Tags or vendor tags.
Introduction to tag types
Onix ID Tags
Onix ID Tags are supplied by Onix.
- These are QR code labels or QR + RFID tags where a short code (4–5 digits), called the Onix ID, is printed on the tag.
- Their RFID/EPC always starts with ‘3075AFA11C00005’.
Onix Tags
Onix Tags are supplied by Onix.
- This tag does NOT support Onix ID.
- Its RFID does NOT follow the ‘3075AFA11C00005’ pattern.

Vendor tags
If the tags you bought are not from Onix and fall into either of the following tag value types, Onix supports the capability to link tags to equipment.
