8KByte Tags Stores a lifetime of maintenance records

Passive Keeps batteries off plant, out of inventory, out of procedure

Long data retention times Suitable for parts with long lifetimes: 30+ years

Memory survives harsh environments, weather, etc. Withstands high temperature, magnetic fields, radiation, RF


Smart Assets – new capabilities, new solutions Focus on the data of interest

Instead of sharing database of all assets, share only the data on a single asset Asset data in one place and physically associated with asset Improves decision making at the point of read Enterprise security issues eliminated

Supplements network access Tag is always available, even when the network is not Tag-Cloud synchronization creates high level of visibility

More advantages No need for wires, batteries Placements can be extremely remote

Inside structural elements, hazardous locations

Communications channel Writing to the tag is equivalent to sending a message The message is concise, and relevant when read

Distributed record keeping Formerly: asset data stored in many databases with multiple owners Now: asset data in one place and physically associated with the asset Database access complexities are removed

APPENDIX - Supplemental Materials


Process Industries: The Challenge“Many different job functions touch these critical assets. Keeping track of all data necessary to do meaningful process improvement was problematic ” Chemical Company – Tego Customer

“Who did what when??”

“How many times was it cycled?”

“Is that new sleeve in this one?”

“When was it last rebuilt?”

“Who pressure tested it?”

“How long has it been in service?”

“When did it fail?”


Process Industries Solution: Smart Asset

Tego Smart Asset Solution Tag asset with High Memory RFID

TegoChip TegoView Configured to Capture

Critical data and Information Manufacturing Details Safety Tips Critical Operating Points Key Inspections/Testing Info Maintenance Records Warrant/Contact Info Link to Manuals


Leading The Way For Parts Life Cycle Management

Developed the first integrated reader software – TegoViewTM to enable standards compliant reading and writing of life cycle data

TegoChipTM is the only chip used by aerospace and industrial suppliers today to meet these requirements.

Tego has also worked with tag manufacturers worldwide to develop a range of tags to meet different asset requirements.

Tego Customers include: airframe manufacturers, OEMs, airlines and MROs worldwide as well as life science, process and transportation industries
