Tire Labeling & Tagging Solutions for Manufacturing Logistics

Uniquely identify individual tires through all manufacturing phases, including building machine through curing, using barcode, RFID or a combination of the two data collection technologies, utilized in our patented tagging solutions.

Benefits of tagging tires during manufacturing:

Unique serialization
Full process transparency
Process automation
Complete traceability down to an individual tire
Quality and warranty management

Labeling tires for manufacturing logistics:

Bead application (including patented durable RFID labels for vulcanization)
Sidewall application (including patented durable RFID labels for vulcanization)

RFID Solutions for Tire Supply Chain and Inventory Management

Empower your warehouse, distribution, sales, shipping & receiving, and inventory management teams with accurate and reliable inventory visibility. RFID tread labels, designed and manufactured by FineLine, help supply chain owners gather more data without down-time, manual counting or guess work.

Quickly locate inventory, down to the size and model, when tires are tagged with our reliable, patented RFID tread labeling solutions. Tire labels stay adhered under the most extreme temperatures, humidity and abrasion during transport and storage, ensuring brand image and process requirements are met or exceeded, regardless of tire types.

Benefits of RFID tire labeling for supply chain and inventory management :

Automated, efficient and accurate inventory management data collection
Supply chain process automation
RFID long range (up to 8 meters) and throughput (bulk scanning)
Grey market goods diversion detection
Regulatory compliance

Tire labels for supply chain and inventory management improvement:

Patented “4-dry-edge” labels for maintenance and cleaning free operation of printers and applicators
Fully preprinted color tread labels
Blank tread tire labels for in-plant printing (and RFID encoding)

Tire Tagging Solutions for Fleet Management

Fleet operators and fleet management companies are constantly faced with reliably and seamlessly managing vehicle tires. Track individual tires from the point of purchase, throughout its lifecycle, including its service history and end of life. Customized RFID after-market tire tags are also effective as an anti-theft solution, or as critical solution for ‘pay-per-mile’, ‘pay-per-use’ or other new commercial business models.

Benefits of RFID tire tagging for fleet management:

Track individual tires for inventory management, servicing and maintenance
Retrofit existing tires or integrate into tire during production or re-treading
RFID read range of over 2 meters
Scan tires with mobile or gateway RFID readers
Asset management and theft detection to individual tire

Tire tagging products for fleet management:

Patented RFID tag construction for on-tire application
Color and variable printing
RFID pre-encoded tags
All steel tire compatibility

Tagging Solutions for Re-Treaders

Tire re-treaders, take advantage of a wide range of patented solutions to uniquely identify tires through all stages of re-treading process. Using barcode, RFID or a combination of the two data collection technologies, re-treaders gain full product lifecycle management (PLM).

Benefits of RFID tire tagging for re-treaders:

Unique serialization down to the tire casing
Complete traceability down to an individual tire casing
Quality and warranty management
Asset management of fleet tires
Tracking service and maintenance for fleet tires Regulatory compliance (Truck Tire Regulations Section § 393.75: Tires)

Tagging tire products for re-treaders:

Sidewall RFID foam tag
Fully preprinted color tread labels
Sidewall application
Blank tread labels for in-plant printing (and RFID encoding)

RFID Tire Labeling Solutions for Aviation

Aircraft tire manufacturers and re-treaders are subject to the ATA Spec 2000 automated identification and data capture requirements created by the aerospace industry. FineLine tire labels together with in-plant solution for printing and encoding are compliant with the RFID and barcode identification requirements under ATA Spec 2000.

Benefits of tire tagging for aviation industry

Aviation industry ATA Spec 2000 compliance
Lower cost of documentation for compliance
Automated, efficient and accurate inventory data collection
RFID long range (up to 8 meters) and throughput (bulk scanning)
ATA Spec 2000 Aviation Birth Record for product lifecycle management (PLM)

Tire tagging products for aviation

Patented “4-dry-edge” labels for maintenance and cleaning free operation of printers and applicators
Fully preprinted color tread labels
Blank tread labels for in-plant printing (and RFID encoding)

Tracking Solutions for Mold and Tooling Management

Identify, match and manage tire molds and other tooling to a machine, production batch, machine operator and each individual tire. FineLine’s patented tagging solutions provide full process transparency, to quickly identify and trace process inefficiency or quality issues within tire manufacturing. Advanced tagging solutions allow for unique identification of each tire mold segment, as well as bladder plates. By coupling the segments with the mold casing, it takes seconds to verify that the mold is correctly assembled and ready for manufacturing.

Product lifecycle management (PLM) is made simple and reliable by collecting service and maintenance data for each individual mold and tooling to manage its performance.

Benefits of RFID for Mold and Tooling Management:

Improve process efficiency, data accuracy and transparency
Fast and accurate locating of molds and mold parts including segments and bead rings
Improve planning and maintenance
100% lifecycle management
One-to-one data aggregation in real time between design, mold, segments, bladder, press, operator, and tire.

Tagging products for Mold and Tooling Management:

High temp resistant RFID tags for embedding in mold segments and other tooling
High temp, long range RFID tags for the permanent identification of mold, press and other assets, such as bladders
Pre-encoded mold retrofit RFID kits
