Tag’n’Track for Manufacturing

Keep tools in place, production moving and every product traceable. Tag’n’Track automates tool control, materials, work in progress, maintenance and shift access on the shop floor.

Overview

How Tag’n’Track helps manufacturers

Tag’n’Track for Manufacturing follows tools, materials and products through the plant. Tools and gauges are checked out and calibrated on time, materials and work in progress are traced between stores and lines, machines are maintained before they fail, and access to hazardous zones is controlled by shift.

Research

What the research shows

Independent industry findings, not Tag’n’Track results.

The cost of downtime

Unplanned downtime costs the world’s 500 largest companies 11% of revenue, about US$1.4 trillion a year (Siemens, 2024).

Integrations

Industry integrations

Hardware

Hardware that fits your site, your process and your budget

Tag’n’Track works with RFID, NFC, QR codes, barcodes, IoT sensors and GPS from all leading manufacturers, so you are never tied to one brand. Every recommendation is based on your requirements, a site survey and your budget.

Typical choices: on-metal tags for tools and machines, heat-resistant tags, reusable tags on bins and carriers, fixed readers at stations, handheld readers and IoT sensors on machines.

Start simple, grow to full automation. Begin with handheld readers in one area, prove the value, then add fixed readers, gates and sensors step by step.
