Ironclad traceability – instant cylinder tracking

Industrial gas companies make a huge investment in cylinders that are used as the main supply method to supply industrial gases to their customers. Tracking these cylinders is very important as asset utilization and visibility is very significant during these economically challenging times.

TRAKAID utilizes the latest web, database, wireless, mobility and RFID technology to optimize and streamline the rotation process to improve efficiency, provide ironclad traceability, ensure 100% data accuracy and reduce operational costs. RFID technology provides instant cylinder tracking.

RFID tags are suitable for use on metal and specifically designed for industrial gas cylinders. The tags custom design features tremendous adaptability to meet application requirements for tracking and identification of assets. These tags are designed to work in all types of harsh environments: wet, dirt and high temperature.

Instant Cylinder Tracking enables :

• Asset Traceability from manufacturing to sales.
• Cost reduction through process improvement, efficient automated data entry, and error elimination are achieved through use of hundreds of built-in data validations.
• Manage receipts, production, issues, delivery & distribution, cylinder tracking, billing, testing, and service.
• View real-time and historical movement and analyze associated reports.

During a rotation lifecycle of a cylinder, the cylinder is tracked no less than 5 times. Manual data entry results in numerous errors and cylinder barcodes must be replaced 2-3 times per year due to harsh conditions. TRAKAID is a fully supported robust and comprehensive cylinder management solution utilizing Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology that automates data acquisition and provides end-to-end traceability of a cylinder throughout its rotation. An RFID Tag is robust, unique, may not be duplicated and a fake reading cannot be taken.

TRAKAID utilizes the latest web, database, wireless, mobility and RFID technology to optimize and streamline the rotation process to improve efficiency, provide ironclad traceability, ensure 100% data accuracy and reduce operational costs. A complete set of reports for a full analysis is provided for asset management. TRAKAID employs good manufacturing practices at each step of the cylinder rotation and process controls ensure both patient and user safety.
