INNOVATIVE GLOBAL SYSTEMS, LLC
introducing a new technology
The iTAG® system was conceived to help companies identify and manage hard to track assets. iTAG® digital or "smart" labels are durable and easily visible labels that can be applied to items such as tires, wheels, employee tags, maintenance tools, batteries, starter motors, alternators, heater blowers, windshield wiper motors, ABS Systems, battery cables, and other serviceable and warrantable components. Use of the iTAG® smart labels makes it possible to easily track all of these assets in the same framework.
iTAG® smart labels help identify assets, not only with a visible ID number, but also through an embedded Near Field Communication (NFC) tag and/or serialized QR code. When scanned by a technician, these digital smart ID labels provide essential inspection and maintenance record-keeping. Inspection and maintenance data, such as the type of action performed, the device’s GPS location, and the equipment used, are recorded for each event/occurrence. The ability to quickly track this information allows organizations to optimize their use of resources, saving time and money.
Examples of the iTAG® smart ID labels:
The iTAG® smart labels above can display VMRS, serial, and model numbers on a 1.38 inch tag. Each iTAG® smart label can store up to 120 digits of customizable data in its NFC tag. Additionally, custom data can be stored as part of the QR code found on the iTAG® smart label. The image on the right shows the iTAG® smart label secured inside a plastic carrier disk, which can be easily riveted to flat, rigid areas of the vehicle body.
The images, to the left and below, show two designs for use on tire sidewalls. On the left, the iTAG® smart label is secured inside a rubber carrier which is itself vulcanized to the surface of the tire. Below is a fully rubber, laser printed design which can be secured directly to the tire sidewall. Each tire iTAG® smart label can include data such as history of repairs, retreads, load range, tread pattern, Vehicle Maintenance Reporting Standards (VMRS) position/condition codes, and more. Temperature and pressure readings gathered from a tire pressure monitoring system can be read by a mobile device and written to the tire iTAG® smart label to provide a local history of tire condition. Whenever an iTAG® smart ID label is scanned, a complete history can be pulled from the cloud and reviewed.
