Balfour Beatty, the UK’s largest construction and civil engineering firms, is working with assettagged.com to transform its asset management processes. The team at assettagged.com, led by Ian Fielding, the managing director, is delighted to work with Balfour Beatty’s safety team at Hinkley Point C. With their robust asset management software, tough tagging solutions, and military-grade handheld devices, assettagged.com is set to revolutionise how Balfour Beatty manages its assets.
Streamlining Asset Tracking and Management
Assettagged.com offers a comprehensive asset management software that leverages the power of QR codes. This innovative solution simplifies the tracking and management of critical assets, eliminating the need for manual data entry and paper-based record-keeping. With a mobile device, Balfour Beatty’s plant operators can easily scan QR codes associated with each asset, providing instant access to inspection records and other essential information.
Integration of Vehicle Checklists
One of the key features of assettagged.com’s software is the integration of vehicle checklists. Balfour Beatty’s plant operators at Hinkley Point C can now do away with paper-based checklists, as they have been seamlessly integrated within the asset management software. By simply scanning the QR code, operators can update the asset’s condition and report defective equipment in minutes, eliminating the need for paper forms and streamlining the inspection process.
The Power of QR Codes and RFID
Assettagged.com’s software enables Balfour Beatty to take advantage of QR codes to enhance asset management. Each asset will now have a unique QR code that is automatically generated when the asset is tagged. This QR code serves as a gateway to access all the information related to the asset, including its history, maintenance records, and inspection reports. With a quick scan, Balfour Beatty’s team can instantly identify the asset, track its condition, and make informed decisions.
Locating Safety Critical Assets with what3words
Assettagged.com has integrated what3words into its asset management software, providing an efficient way to locate safety critical assets and plants. With what3words, users can rapidly locate the last known destination and operator of any asset in real-time. This feature eliminates the time-consuming process of searching for work equipment on busy construction sites, improving efficiency and reducing downtime.
Collaborating with Scafftagg and Nokia
To provide Balfour Beatty with the right solutions for robust and reliable asset management, assettagged.com has worked closely with industry leaders Scafftag and Nokia. The collaboration ensures that the system meets the highest standards of durability and functionality. Scafftag’s industrial strength stickers and tags are used to label assets, while Nokia’s RX20 devices, known for their military-grade toughness, serve as the handheld devices for asset scanning and updating.
Enhancing Safety and Compliance
Effective asset management is crucial for ensuring safety and compliance in the construction industry. With assettagged.com’s software, Balfour Beatty can improve the accuracy of daily checks, reduce the time taken to perform inspections, and easily track inspection records and reports. Managers have access to real-time data, enabling them to monitor compliance, identify potential issues, and take proactive measures to maintain a safe working environment.
The Benefits of Data Analytics
Assettagged.com’s asset management software not only streamlines asset tracking and inspection processes but also provides valuable insights through data analytics. The software generates reports and audit trails at regular intervals, offering a comprehensive overview of asset performance and maintenance. Balfour Beatty can leverage this data to optimise its operations, identify trends, and make data-driven decisions for continuous improvement through a user friendly dashboard
