A Starter Guide to Asset Tagging in 3D Scan Data

Asset tagging is an essential process in modern industries, providing a systematic approach to track and manage physical assets. When combined with the power of 3D scan data, asset tagging becomes a transformative tool, revolutionizing the way organizations monitor and maintain their valuable resources. This article explores the asset tagging process, its benefits, and how it integrates with 3D scanning technology and 3D scan data.

What Is Asset Tagging?

Asset tagging is the process of affixing a unique identifier, such as an RFID tag, QR code, or NFC tag, to an asset. These tags store essential information, enabling users to track assets in real time and maintain detailed records for inventory management, maintenance, and repair.

When combined with 3D scan data, asset tagging offers unprecedented precision and enhanced metadata. By embedding asset tags directly into the digital representations of physical items, organizations can streamline processes and ensure efficient tracking of their assets in virtual and physical realms.

Real-Time Tracking with Asset Tagging Systems

A robust asset tagging system ensures assets can be tracked and managed in real time. This capability is particularly critical in industries like construction, healthcare, and logistics, where rapid access to asset data can significantly impact efficiency.

For example, construction firms use asset tagging to monitor tools and equipment, ensuring they are available when needed. Likewise, in manufacturing environments, site conditions involve complex mazes of assets that need continual maintenance. When Axalta, one of the global coating manufacturers in the world, embraced digital workflows to streamline its operations, they found a new way to maintain equipment too.

“By using Cintoo to review our as-built data, site visits have been significantly reduced, leading to time and cost savings within our projects,” explains Marco Shuh, BIM/CAD Administration Engineering at Axalta Coating Systems.
