Wire and wire rod coil processing is a demanding job: processes are not necessarily linear, depending on wire grades and end uses; temperatures can be very high, especially when annealing special steel alloys; and pickling baths can be extremely aggressive. Adding the all-round rough handling associated with moving coils through a plant, tracking coils consistently through a mill can be challenging. • • • Pan Chemicals SpA http://panchemicals.com Pannier Corporation

Typical identification methods have shortcomings. Common industrial tags cannot survive the extended heat of an nealing and/or aggressive acid concen trations. Tags often need to be removed from a coil during certain stages of production and then reattached or exchanged for a new tag. This creates the risk of coil misidentification and loss of product data. Other manual marking methods do not allow for automated data capture throughout the manufacturing process. Manual reading and data entry is liable to produce errors. The Pannier metal tracking tag remains with a coil throughout the production journey, and can even serve as the shipping label, eliminating the need to re-label the coil. Its embossed 2D data matrix code can be scanned at any stage of production for error-free product tracking. The all metal tags resist heat, acid, weather and handling, and are 100 per cent recyclable. The tags are made using the Pannier EmbossMax 5000 automatic metal tag embosser, which can be used like a network printer, integrating with any plant MES/ERP system. Tags can also be made individually by an operator, as required. Once data is received, tags are embossed with text and a scannable 2D code. Codes can be read with industrial scanners or mobile devices for instant production information throughout the wire manufacturing process.
