At a recent conference I was at where I gave a presentation
on selecting the right tag and technology for an application, I was asked a
question:
"What product should I use if I have multiple types of assets in
various types of environments?"
Without qualifying the application any further
to see how long they would like to have the tags last or more information about
the types of conditions the assets and thereby the tags attached to the assets
are going to be exposed to, I suggested that they go with the most durable, yet
versatile tag that we offer – our
Foil Bar Code Labels. These products are
versatile enough to be used in the typical office application, yet durable
enough to last outside or in a more demanding environment like a manufacturing
floor. This question made me realize that this is a more common issue than I
may have thought. For example, assets for a university could range from
computers to lab equipment and furniture to vehicles. Yes, you could optimize
your application and get different tags for different assets depending on what
they are going to be exposed to, and many companies do that; or you could go
with what is going to survive the most demanding application and get the same
tag for all assets. Even if this means it’s a more expensive tag, a higher
volume would drive the price per tag down. Plus, the tag would last for a very
long time.
