Hardware inventory taking, I need to figure out a faster and less tedious way of doing it. Was thinking maybe building a kind of barcode system to speed up the data-entry process when going out on a floor to eliminate the possibility of mistyped data.

QR codes and a handful of cheap smartphones are a fairly easy and low cost method of doing this. You can even make an android app to streamline the process even farther.

Of course, I'm still trying to find a good solution for printing those QR codes. Printers suck and printing labels is it's own special kind of hell.
