The Challenges of Serial Number Tracking

Tracking serial numbers might seem simple, especially with a small inventory. But in today’s dynamic environment, assets move, change, and get replaced frequently. Data management, or managing serial numbers, without duplication or error can be challenging—this is where reliable data management becomes essential.

Introducing Our Serialization Engine for Data Management

Our Serialization Engine is designed to simplify data management, taking the guesswork out of serial number tracking. It ensures that each asset tag is unique, preventing the costly and time-consuming errors of duplicate numbers.

Reliable Management for Asset Tracking

For over 70 years, Metalcraft has specialized in number tracking, making data management easier for our clients. With the Serialization Engine, customers no longer need to remember starting numbers for new orders or worry about duplicate numbers slipping into their systems. This tool allows businesses to focus on core operations without serial number complications.

How the Serialization Engine Ensures Data Integrity

The Serialization Engine not only records number history but also checks for duplicates across jobs, parts, and customer levels. By uploading variable data into the engine, customers ensure that their data remains accurate, with safeguards against errors—whether numbers are human-readable, barcoded, or RFID-tagged.

Why Data Management Matters in Asset Tracking

Duplicate or incorrect serial numbers can lead to serious errors:

  • Equipment Maintenance: Duplicate serials could mix up maintenance records, especially critical in industries like healthcare.
  • IT Equipment Tracking: Tracking check-ins and check-outs with unique identifiers prevents discrepancies, especially crucial for insurance and inventory accuracy.
  • Manufacturer Part Tracking: Duplicate numbers can compromise warranty claims and customer confidence, damaging brand trust.

In a world where data management is essential for operational accuracy and safety, our Serialization Engine provides the tools and experience needed for robust, reliable asset tracking.

These examples as well as many others are all too realistic and hopefully open your eyes regarding the importance of not having inaccurate and/or duplicate serial number information. And thanks to our new Serialization Engine, these types of scenarios don’t have to be your reality. for more information on Metalcraft’s Serialization Engine and data management capabilities, contact us at 800-437 -5283 (641-423-9460) or [email protected].
