GoTagID is a first-of-its-kind tagging solution that enables the tracking and tracing of steel materials beyond the point-of-sale where conventional methods of identification and traceability have perpetually failed. The Rapide and Endure Tags are designed with state-of-the-art technology to enable tagging of steel and provide it with its own unique identity (ID) – allowing the traceability of origin, factory manufacturing data, testing records, and present and historical geolocation. The Rapide Tags has been tried, tested, and proven to be the most reliable method to address the failures of existing sticker in the processes of shipping and logistics. The Endure Tags are engineered and developed to withstand extreme heat, strong vibrations, mechanical impacts, and harsh and corrosive environments. The Endure Tags enables the materials to be reused repeatedly within their lifespan as they are compliant with BCA's Reusability on Steel BC1 2023 regulations. In addition, both tags are ideal for providing Green Steel manufacturers with the ability to trace and store Carbon Footprint Information, Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) Documentation, and other relevant Green Steel Certifications unique to the material.
