Steel-Code®


State-of-the-Art Product Identification System for
Steel Structures.

RFID

Radio Frequency Identification is a data collection technology that uses electronic tags for storing data. The tag is made up of an RFID chip attached to an antenna. Passive tags have no power source but use the electromagnetic waves from the reader to energize the chip and transmit back data.

Like bar codes, RFID tags identify items. However, unlike bar codes, which must be in close proximity and line of sight to the scanner for reading, RFID tags do not require line of sight and can be embedded within an item.

RFID tags hold more data than bar codes, but a major differentiator is the unique serial number in the RFID’s Electronic Product Code (EPC) because it allows tracking of individual items. While a UPC bar code might identify a category of product like a 12” manhole connector, an EPC RFID tag can identify a specific, individual connector.

About Steel-Code®

Steel RFID tags are designed to meet the needs of the steel manufacturing and construction industry. Current systems are labor intensive, time consuming and susceptible to human error. This causes lost, duplication, miscounted inventory and poor overall quality control. With the introduction of steel RFID Steel-Code® tags and TrackCon® software suite, steel manufacturers now can gain inventory management and quality control of the products they produce.

The fabricated steel industry struggles with workflow tracking as well as job site locating and sequencing.  Current systems are manual and provide little or no real time production data or location data.  Often times, this causes expensive delays locating missing fabrications and costly rebuilds or double builds.  ICT has developed Steel-Code® Steel RFID tags a revolutionary wireless RFID solution for the steel fabricator that uses Steel RFID tags to streamline critical inventory management processes. 

A single tag, Steel-Code®, combines human readable format, a bar code and RFID all on one label.  This label is sealed in a ruggedized, watertight, dust proof plastic unit that is permanently attached to the steel structure, allowing it to track the structure from inception and withstand the rigors of a construction environment

TrackCon®, a PC based system, uses the data from the Steel-Code® tag to provide management with complete product identification and tracking through the entire process from drawings, to customer, to job site. Management now has a system to report and manage in real time. Not only does this enhance the fabricators’ bottom line but it allows the steel fabricator to provide value to their customers as well.

About International Coding Technologies, Inc

International Coding Technologies, Inc. (ICT) was established to design, develop and implement tracking solutions for the concrete industry world wide. Headquartered in the United States, this privately held Massachusetts Company has built systems based on its own Intellectual property; TrackCon® and Cast-A-Code®. These systems are used in the identification of concrete structures and to automatically track their movement from cradle to grave. This allows the business owner to electronically track information throughout the structures lifecycle, a significant issue with powerful return on investment for the business owner.
