Overview
What Are Agricultural Tags?
Agricultural tags are used for identification, asset management, and other purposes in farming and agricultural operations. They are made from durable metals, such as stainless steel, aluminum, or brass, to withstand the rough, outdoor elements common in the industry.
Businesses can customize an agricultural tag to feature barcodes, serial numbers, and other essential information. Their durability and customization make them indispensable in modern farming operations.
Benefits
Why Does Your Business Need Agriculture Labels?
- Durability: Agricultural tags are made from tough materials, offering long-lasting durability while exposed to harsh weather, chemicals, or outdoor conditions.
- Customization: Tags can include barcodes, numbers, logos, or any other identifiers, making them suitable farm-use tags for branding or identification.
- Traceability: An agriculture tag improves tracking and traceability of livestock, equipment, or crops, ensuring compliance with industry standards.
- Cost-Efficiency: Reducing loss and improving operational efficiency through organized equipment tracking and asset management can minimize replacement costs.
- Compliance: Agricultural tags assist in meeting industry standards for equipment and livestock tracking, ensuring proper records for inspections.
APPLICATIONS
Our metal tags offer the durability and strength needed to handle the most common applications in crop production, livestock farming, and other agricultural operations, including the following:
Livestock Identification
Metal tags can be attached to livestock for proper identification and recording of their health history.
Equipment Labeling
Tags can be installed on farming machinery for asset management and maintenance tracking.
Facility Safety
Enhance the safety and efficiency of your agricultural operations by using metal tags to clearly label equipment, hazardous areas, and restricted zones.
Crop Management
Identify different crop types, varieties, and production methods.
Fencing and Gate Identification
Label gates and fence sections for security and farm layout management.
Inspections
One of the most important elements in safety is preventative, in the form of inspections. Periodic checks of machines, equipment, wiring, and valves, is important for all industrial organizations.
Irrigation valves must be regularly checked for any potential issues or weak points. Farm equipment and machinery must be inspected and maintained to prevent malfunctions or injury risks.
Custom inspection tags help ensure these inspections are consistent and accurate.
Asset Tracking
With so many moving parts to track and manage within an agricultural operation, many organizations turn to asset tags as a solution.
A simple tracking solution such as serialized number tags can provide workers with easy marking of crop locations or tool organization.
Barcode tracking can be implemented for data collection and monitoring using a computer system. Our barcode tags are extremely durable, even in outdoor settings and can also include other text or logos if necessary.
Data stored on the tag can include everything from equipment condition and repair status, to specific crop information, or anything else the organization deems necessary.
With so many benefits, it is easy to see why barcode tags are often a preferred choice in this industry.
MATERIALS
Material choice is important when selecting any tag or nameplate solution. We provide our customers with high quality materials that fit best for their specific application.
Agriculture tags are subject to years of wear and tear from weather and usage. This means a durable material is essential.
A few examples of our material options include:
- Stainless Steel
- Aluminum
- Brass
PROCESSES
Embossing
When it comes to agriculture equipment, durability is the name of the game. With equipment and tools exposed to weather day and night, any identification solution has to be extremely tough and long lasting.
Our embossed tags are created using a die set, which produces raised characters in the metal. Since there is no topical ink on the tag, there is nothing to fade or wash off. In addition, the raised characters are still legible when covered with dirt or paint.
This high durability makes embossed tags one of our most used processes for agriculture identification – commonly used for serialized number tagging.
Photo Anodization
These nameplates are fully customizable with any information, design, or barcode. This is the go-to option for barcode based asset tracking tags. Additionally, many organizations use this process for branding their company logo on tools or equipment.
Examples of data commonly used on these tags:
- Servicing Number
- Location Info
- Company Logo
- QR/Data Matrix Codes
In addition to customization, photo anodization is incredibly durable. Rated for 20+ years outdoors, these plates are more than capable of withstanding the elements.
