Product Identification
Technology is playing a more prominent role in today’s business world as we experience a rapid change in the global environment. Additionally, technological advancements are ever evolving, which leads to more technology being integrated into our day-to-day operations.
Due to the growing complexity of our industrial environments, there are more and more interconnected objects, which makes it essential to be able to identify machinery, devices, parts, cartons, pallets and shipments in a quick and accurate way.
Dataplates, inspection tags, valve tags, asset numbers, and barcodes are examples of industrial identification items that can improve safety & efficiency in our organizations.
As well as helping identify machinery, these types of identification items can also serve as a means of displaying vital information including instructions about the safety, operation, maintenance, service, and replacement of parts and machinery which will not only help increase the longevity of your machinery and devices but it can also help to ensure compliance to regulations and standards.
Listed below are some of the Product Identification signage available through Q Safe:
Data Plates
Data Plates are identification tags that are found in use throughout a wide variety of industries.
These plates are frequently used when there is a need to outline:
- Regulations
- Instructions
- Indicate potential hazards
- Showcase other key information
You may be surprised to hear that data plates can be seen all around us including in:
Elevators:
Provides information about safety inspections, elevator type, the weight capacity, and emergency information. This type of information ensures proper maintenance and the safety of those who use the elevators.
Electrical Equipment:
Provides information on the model, serial number, specifications, contact information for the manufacturer and any safety hazards the user should be aware of. This enables easier and safer use and helps the user when needing repair or replacement.
Inspection Tags
The purpose of Inspection Tags is to visually identify the equipment or machinery that has been inspected during the current inspection period. One of the most commonly seen inspection tags in all workplaces is the Fire Extinguisher Inspection Tag.
This tag is used to display the inspection and testing history of your Fire Extinguisher.
Valve Tags
The Valve Tag is an identification tag used by industries worldwide for managing or regulating the flow of chemicals, liquids, and gases.
These pipes and valves may contain hazardous materials or be stored under high pressure in some cases.
It is therefore imperative that the Valve Tagging identification system is implemented to ensure that anyone who comes into contact with a pipe or value knows exactly what the contents will be, thus preventing accidents and spills.
Asset Number Tags
Asset Number Tags are identification tags that are used to identify valuable equipment like tools, machinery, technological devices and even vehicles for tracking, inventory and accountability purposes.
These tags are used in combination with asset tracking software. The tags contain a unique serial number or code or a barcode.
