Pannier introduced the high-temperature printed metal tag to the steel industry in the 1980s, allowing metal producers for the first time to label red-hot products with bar codes. Bar coding slabs and billets at the caster allows for unmatched inventory control with durable, mistake-proof identification.
Pannier’s laser metal tag printers integrate seamlessly with Level 1/Level 2 systems and tags can be applied manually or with an automatic tag attaching system.
Steel producers realize savings through a reduction in inventory and shipping errors, the elimination of the need to scrap material due to mis-identification, and productivity increases by automating the marking and tracking processes.
