Utility Implements Durable Bar Code Asset Tags to Improve Asset Management
Gas, Power & Utility Companies are adopting durable bar code asset tags to track assets such as gas meters for as long as 30 years.
Cleveland, OH (PRWEB) June 27, 2007 -- Utilities are replacing manual data collection with durable bar code asset tags, according to a new whitepaper from Cleveland based Camcode.
The whitepaper looks at one major gas company's experience implementing bar code asset tracking of meters on as many as 30,000 meters per year. The document discusses the improvements in efficiency and accuracy gained in their asset management system by using Camcode Durable Metalphoto® bar code asset tags.
Previous methods of asset tracking and monitoring equipment required a technician to manually key in a six-digit serial number each time new meters were taken into inventory, shipped out and installed, removed from service, or received and tested for accuracy. This extra step was prone to errors and slows down the process.
The subject gas company is looking forward to speedier deployment and installation of meters and improvements in tracking those assets. According to a company spokesman, "We expect efficiency and data accuracy to increase dramatically."

Metalphoto® asset tags withstand abrasion, intense weather conditions, outdoor exposure, chemicals and solvents and remain readable for up to 30 years even under the harshest conditions. Barcoding virtually eliminates errors caused by manual data collection, ensuring accurate information and providing the efficiency to track assets system-wide more quickly and easily for greater productivity and reduced labor costs.
