Asset Tagging System

Effortlessly track, manage, and optimize your assets with a robust tagging system

About TAG-G

Intelligent Asset Identification

The Asset Tagging System (TAG-G) uses configurable tagging masks to generate unique, meaningful asset identifiers that encode critical information about each asset. Every tag follows your organisation's naming conventions while preventing duplicates and ensuring traceability.

How Tagging Masks Work

Tagging masks define the structure and format of asset identifiers. Each character position in the mask represents a specific type of data — alphabetic codes, numeric sequences, or fixed characters. This ensures every tag is both human-readable and machine-parsable.

Mask Examples

Common tagging mask formats used across industries:

Mask Pattern	Example Output	Description
`AAAYNNN`	SCR1101	3 alpha + year + 3 numeric
`BAAANN`	SCR1101MTR01	Child component tagging
`XXAAAYNNN`	05CRU101	Area prefix + equipment
`FFNNNN-PMMMM-I`	SW1000-50L1L2-0	Functional location format

Features

Eight Key Capabilities

Everything you need for a world-class asset tagging system.

Unique Identification

Generate unique asset tags based on configurable masks that encode asset type, location, area, and sequence number information.

Duplicate Checks

Automated validation ensures no duplicate tags are ever created. The system checks against the entire database before issuing a new tag.

Reserve Tags

Reserve tag numbers in advance for planned projects and installations. Prevent conflicts when multiple teams are tagging assets simultaneously.

Link to ERP

Seamlessly link asset tags to your ERP system (SAP, Oracle, Maximo) for synchronised data across maintenance, finance, and operations.

Link to Document Management

Associate tags with technical documents, drawings, manuals, and procedures. Access all documentation directly from the asset tag record.

Link User Database for Approval

Integrate with user directories for tag approval workflows. Define who can create, approve, and modify tags based on roles and permissions.

Global Library

Maintain a centralised global library of tagging standards, mask definitions, and equipment type codes shared across all sites and projects.

Access Control

Role-based access control ensures only authorised personnel can create, modify, or delete asset tags. Full audit trail for compliance.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

A tagging mask is a predefined pattern that dictates the structure of asset identifiers. Each character in the mask represents a data type: alphabetic characters (A) for equipment codes, numeric characters (N) for sequences, year indicators (Y), area prefixes (X), and fixed separators. For example, the mask AAAYNNN produces tags like SCR1101, where SCR is the equipment type, 1 is the year digit, and 101 is the sequential number.

Yes, TAG-G supports multiple tagging masks that can be assigned to different sites, projects, or asset classes. Each mask can be independently configured with its own character definitions, sequence ranges, and validation rules. The global library stores all mask definitions for easy reuse across your organisation.

Absolutely. TAG-G is designed to integrate with major ERP platforms including SAP, Oracle, and IBM Maximo. Asset tags created in TAG-G can be synchronised with your ERP's functional location and equipment master records, ensuring consistency across all systems and eliminating manual data entry.
