Equipment without a system
Many businesses still track their equipment in spreadsheets, or not centrally at all. Without central management, unclear ownership, unnecessary time spent searching and missing visibility into upcoming inspections build up quickly.
All your equipment in one place
Kernas makes equipment easy to find centrally and creates transparency over locations, responsibilities, and upcoming inspections and maintenance. Capture your inventory manually or through an AI-assisted import from an existing Excel or CSV list, label each item with a QR code, and assign a location and a responsible person.
A typical workflow
Capture equipment → attach a QR label → assign location and responsible person → set inspection/maintenance deadlines → when due: scan the QR code, log the result.
Identify by QR code
Every piece of equipment gets a unique QR label. Scanning it on site pulls up the stored information — current location, responsible person, and the next inspection due date.
Inspections and maintenance
Kernas includes a pre-installed catalog of common inspection and maintenance obligations for Germany, with the relevant background information stored for each entry. Which obligations actually apply depends on the business and its use case. You can also add your own obligations with individual intervals, requirements and additional information. Due dates are calculated automatically once an obligation is assigned to a piece of equipment, and upcoming deadlines stay reliably in view.
From spreadsheets to digital equipment management
Many companies start their equipment management in Excel. As the inventory grows, manual lists quickly become confusing: locations change, ownership shifts, and inspections have to be tracked separately. Existing Excel or CSV files can be imported into Kernas — it recognizes the contained data and helps match it to the right fields, so equipment can then be managed centrally from there on.
