Durable QR labels for steel structure traceability
Fabbim provides industrial QR labels and resistant identification plates to track steel parts throughout the full cycle of fabrication → galvanizing → painting → transport → site delivery. Designed to withstand galvanizing, painting, sandblasting, and jobsite conditions, they enable reliable identification and real-time traceability using a smartphone or industrial terminal.

Why durable identification of steel parts is becoming essential
In steel construction, a part may go through several sensitive stages: workshop, galvanizing, painting, storage, transport, and jobsite. Without a durable identification system, the risks are well known: lost parts, loading errors, misdirected returns, incomplete site deliveries, and difficulty producing tracking evidence.
Fabbim QR labels address this need with a solution designed for demanding industrial environments. Combined with the Fabbim platform, they make it possible to track each part or assembly, visualize statuses and secure the entire logistics chain.
Fabbim durable QR labels do more than identify a part. They help secure flows, speed up checks, and improve document traceability.
Reliable identification
Each part or assembly receives clear, readable and durable identification suited to the reality of workshops and jobsites.
Industrial resistance
The media are selected to withstand galvanizing, painting, sandblasting, handling and outdoor conditions.
Easy scanning
Codes can be read with a smartphone or industrial terminal, making scans easier in the workshop, at the galvanizer, in trucks or on site.
Evidence and compliance
Scans feed a timestamped history to strengthen document traceability and produce useful evidence for the EN 1090 standard.
Materials, media and resistance
Not all parts face the same constraints. Fabbim can rely on different identification media depending on the industrial process, surface, exposure and expected service life.
Galvanizing: resistance to heat, baths and chemical agents.
Painting and sandblasting: tolerance to abrasion, spray and finishing coats.
Outdoor storage and jobsite: resistance to impact, weather and repeated handling.
Plates and labels: support selection based on the nature of the part, its geometry and logistics route.

Practical use cases of QR labels in the steel chain
Each stakeholder benefits from better visibility on parts thanks to a shared identification system.
Workshop
Part identification from the fabrication stage, scans at key steps, and immediate updates to production statuses.
Galvanizing & painting
Return checks, validation of correct part routing, and flow tracking between treatment and storage.
Transport
Verified loading, documented truck contents, and a direct link between shipped parts, lots and destination.
Jobsite
Faster receiving, missing part checks, punch items, photos and better coordination before lifting and erection.
Simple workflow with Fabbim
Implementing reliable traceability with durable QR labels is based on a simple process connected to your business tools.
1
Data import
Import your parts, assemblies, lots and phases from Tekla, IFC, Revit or Excel.
2
Choose the right medium
Select a label or plate according to galvanizing, painting, abrasion or outdoor exposure constraints.
3
Placement and identification
The QR code is linked to the part to enable precise tracking throughout the industrial and logistics route.
4
Scans and tracking
Users scan parts in the workshop, at the galvanizer, during loading or on site, even offline.
5
History and evidence
Each action feeds the timestamped history, PDF reports and evidence useful for quality management and EN 1090 compliance.
Why choose Fabbim for your industrial QR labels
Fabbim goes beyond the label. The solution combines durable identification, a traceability platform and suitable equipment to secure the tracking of steel parts from the design office to the jobsite.
A complete life-cycle view
With QR labels and the Fabbim platform, you can track every part through fabrication, galvanizing, painting, shipments, deliveries and erection.
Better coordination between stakeholders
Workshop, galvanizer, carrier and jobsite all work with the same information. This reduces errors, improves responsiveness and strengthens document traceability.
