I'm just starting a thread to try to get some input/discussion on the fundamental implementation of using QR codes for asset tracking, within Quickbase. If i have a field tech that is going to catalog assets, what is the best practice in doing this? Below is my current thought process, but I might be coming at it wrong. I think I am misunderstanding a fundamental principle, because I don't know how I utilize the new QR code function within QB.

1) Print out sheets of QR codes onto weather proof labels. Both developing the QR codes and labels would be independent of Quickbase.
2) Field tech applies a sticker to an asset. Takes a picture of the sticker and uploads that as a file attachment to Quickbase. 
3) Field tech fills out Serial  Numbers, attaches more pictures, etc etc.
4) Manager (or anyone party logged in from computer responsible for QR codes) changes the dynamic QR code link to say, the url for that particular asset.
5) Any time someone needs the info on the asset, scan the QR code sticker on the asset.

That's where I am at, what am I missing...?? What is the intention for the new QR option in the mobile QB app?

The purpose of the Bar code / QR code reading is so you can do the data entry of the bar code value into a field on the mobile app.  I doubt that you want to take a picture of the bar code. More likely you want to locate the asset off an existing asst or else or create the asset record, then affix the sticker and do the code data entry via the mobile app.
