Our domain is in tagging, where we tag identifier and other information to things and people at the customer’s site of operations using auto-ID technologies such as barcode and RFID. We package the ideal combination of internally developed and/or externally sourced products, services, software and technologies into solutions that best suit our customers worldwide.

Through tagging, we digitize data on people and things in fields of operation so that core IT systems can process the data to allow customers to see which item is where in what condition within the supply chain and take appropriate action.

This is how we play our part in IoT, realizing a “connected” world by utilizing our expertise in tagging, i.e., “connecting.” Supply chain visibility and optimization help customers solve major shared challenges to make productivity improvements, enable stock loss control and provide greater peace of mind and security.
