Smart tracking and traceability of steel parts

Fabbim connects every stakeholder in the steel structure supply chain: shops, painters, galvanizers, haulers and site erectors.

With high-temperature resistant labeling, QR code scans and Bluetooth beacons, progress is tracked directly on the shared cloud 3D model. Every part is identified, tracked and located in real time.

Optimize deliveries, reduce errors and keep your production in sync.

Why trace your steel structure?

  • ✔️ End-to-end tracking from workshop to job site.
  • ✔️ EN1090 compliance ensured.
  • ✔️ Coordination between fabricators, galvanizers, painters and erectors.
  • ✔️ Fewer losses, fewer errors, more peace of mind.

Fabbim stands out with a 100% cloud platform tailored to steel shops: robust, intuitive and collaborative. It gives fabricators, galvanizers, painters and site crews a simple shared base to manage deliveries.

Labels for galvanizing or painting

Metal tag with QR code

The labels required to track a structure throughout fabrication, surface treatment and all inter-party deliveries/receptions must meet these criteria:

  • Heat resistant (>500°)
  • Abrasion/blasting resistant
  • Acid resistant
  • Protective film removable after painting
  • With QR CODES and ASSEMBLY REFERENCE

Connected to Fabbim, each tag becomes a part that’s tracked, scanned and identifiable at any time.

Blasting tags

ShotTag™ ID Tag features a highly abrasion-resistant surface coating.

Galvanizing tags

KettleTag® PLUS EZ – withstands hot-dip zinc bath, acids and impacts.

Paint shop tags

PaintTag™ ID Tag with high-adhesion glue and removable protection – booth-compatible.

Recommended hardware for scanning

Fabbim includes an integrated QR code scanner so any smartphone can scan the tags attached to painted or galvanized parts.

Using a smartphone with an embedded scanner provides much faster acquisition and works without lighting.
