An element required to ensure efficient company operations is the up-to-date knowledge concerning the availability and location of particular machines and tools. In turn, to identify a given machine or tool, it is necessary to mark it in a permanent and legible way.

Marking was carried out by means of polyester labels with a strong adhesive with increased mechanical resistance. The labels are resistant to weather conditions and most chemicals and mild acids. The label printind takes place with the use of Datamax thermal transfer printer. The major label component is the barcode enabling to identify a given machine or tool fast and beyond any doubt. Durable labels with a unique number included in a barcode are also used to mark warehouse locations.
