Part identification

A reference on the part. A link to its progress.

QR labels connect your steel parts to Fabbim. From initial identification to delivery, prepare a labelling approach suited to your parts’ journey and scanning conditions.

Identification that supports tracking

Connect the physical part with its information.

In a storage area or on the shop floor, the label provides a starting point for tracking the part.

Identify

Connect a physical part to its project reference so it can be found throughout its journey.

Scan

Use the QR code to find the part in Fabbim and follow the stages that concern it.

Locate

Keep the connection between identification in the field and the project’s 3D view.

Before choosing a label

Start with the route your parts take.

Select labels and fixings around your parts and the operations they go through.

For galvanized parts, review the label, its fixing and readability after treatment with the Fabbim team before rolling it out.

Treatment

Describe the planned stages, including galvanizing. Label performance and readability need to be checked under those conditions.

Attachment

Review placement and fixing with your team, taking part geometry and handling into account.

Scanning

Consider access to the reference, reading distance and the equipment used in the workshop or during loading.

Getting started

From identification to scanning in three stages.

  1. 01

    Prepare

    Find the project’s parts using IFC/Tekla data and prepare their identification.

  2. 02

    Associate

    Link each identifier to the relevant part and apply the selected label.

  3. 03

    Scan and track

    Scan the reference at the relevant fabrication, galvanizing, loading and delivery stages.

Frequently asked questions

Is a QR code enough to track a part?

The QR code needs to be associated with the part in Fabbim. Identification, scanning and project tracking work together to provide traceability.

How should we select labels for galvanizing?

Describe the process, types of parts and fixing constraints. Label performance and readability after treatment need to be checked for your use.

What should we prepare for a demo?

Examples of parts, your current identification method, treatment stages and scanning equipment will help you discuss a concrete workflow.
