NRX AssetHub automates errors and reduces equipment tag management costs by up to 80% eliminating manual processes, duplicate tags, and costly retagging delays.
The Challenges of Equipment Tag Management
Asset-intensive companies require many thousands or even millions of asset tags to identify and keep track of their equipment. All of these tags need to be unique, and ideally, should provide useful information about the equipment. Many companies struggle with no formal process for allocating tags, inconsistency, or difficulty getting personnel to comply. Those who try to implement a formal tagging system may still find it error-prone. Some companies use a tagging database or spreadsheet to track the next available tag sequence numbers and allocate blocks of numbers upon request. However, if some of the reserved numbers are not used, they are never available again. It is also difficult to automate an approval process using these techniques.
Smart companies use a naming convention for their tags, which makes it easier to identify the type of equipment, where it is located, and other relevant data about the equipment. But creating those tags and keeping them unique is a major challenge.
Need a Complex Tag? Simple.
NRX AssetHub can be easily configured to implement any tagging requirements, no matter how complex. By exposing customer site-specific naming requirements in a drop-down form with drop-down lists of codes, NRX AssetHub makes assigning equipment tags simple and prevents tagging errors. Users select each code from a list of configured values and submit their tag allocation request. NRX AssetHub assigns the next available sequence number, ensuring that it is not already in use.
Have a Database to Track the Next Available Number? No Problem.
Our customers load existing tags from EAM systems and the available tag numbers from their tagging database. NRX AssetHub uses that information to allocate the next available numbers, ensuring they are unique and not already in use.
Need All Tag Allocations Approved? Easy.
NRX AssetHub has a workflow process for tag allocation. Have as many levels of approval as you require. Approvers can also request additional information or reject requests, giving you full control over your tag governance process.
Avoid Costly Retagging or Delays
NRX AssetHub provides a single, web-based solution accessible from any browser, making it easy to request tags. NRX AssetHub provides forms that prevent invalid selections or misquoted entries and assigns tags upon request. No waiting for a person to assign them. The system ensures the tags are valid and unique, avoiding duplicate tags.
Easily Conform to Corporate Standards
NRX AssetHub lets customers define their own tagging requirements, per site or per enterprise, and then delivers the values in an easy-to-fill form, which can include intelligence. For example, if fire-safety equipment is selected, the user must select a value for Fire Store. The next available sequence numbers are reserved by NRX AssetHub and added automatically on the form. The requester can quickly attach documents or drawings to the request for reference. NRX AssetHub supports multiple standards in different parts of the company.
Automatically Ensure Tags Are Complete, Unique, and Approved
NRX AssetHub ensures that tag allocation requests contain all of the required information, and are error-free, and submits the request to the appropriate approver. The system can ensure any unused tags are released at the appropriate time.
Speed Up the Allocation of Tags
NRX AssetHub loads tag data from any existing database or spreadsheet, and from EAM systems. It automatically determines the next available block of sequence numbers and allocates them as requests are authorized dramatically reducing the time your team spends managing and validating tag assignments.
