Recently we have been explaining the advantages and uses of the Brady locking systems for the prevention of occupational hazards.
Today, we present a completely different product range that is again directly related to safety, while also helping to improve productivity and performance.
The visual identification of risk sources is one of the steps to be taken in any prevention plan. Correctly identifying the installations of a factory, electrical panels, data lines, cables or elements of a warehouse can be a determining factor in preventing accidents.
The Brady labelers are an ideal solution to label and identify any item in a fast and agile way in potentially hazardous environments.
Advantages of Brady labelers
Brady's labelers offer clear solutions to improve the securitythe productivity and the performance.
These labels have a resistance to extreme temperatures, fire, oil, chemicals and abrasions that will make them last over time without significant changes.
The following are the benefits and advantages offered by Brady labelers:
- Faster and more personalized labeling:It has a design wizard to quickly create a personalized label. In it we can insert, for example, our company logo and save it to edit or reuse it later.
- Very reliable labels: The label materials are of industrial quality. These materials have been tried and tested in R&D laboratories to maintain functionality in adverse conditions.
- Traceability: Ability to track the history, shelf life and supplier of tagged parts.
- Troubleshooting: Obtain information about how an installation works thanks to the marking of parts or cables. Maintenance tasks will be much faster with correctly labeled elements.
- Safety: The use of labels will serve as visual communication to warn employees and contractors of any hazards. We can even add labels for the prohibition of certain tools or devices.
Can we imagine how much time and money we could save? How many workplace accidents can we avoid if we identify the right places with high-quality labels that maintain their adhesion and legibility for long periods of time?
Labels anywhere, anytime
Brady offers a variety of printer models, both portable and desktop, to choose from depending on the application.
In the case of portable printers we find a complete line of possibilities that help to get a job done quickly and efficiently.
The practical portability of the printer allows easy printing of labels on any surface. It also has USB, Wi-Fi and/or Bluetooth connectivity.
We leave you a portable printer selection guide that will be very useful to choose the printer that best suits your needs.
Examples of what we can do with Brady labelers
In order for you to see practical cases of the use of Brady labelers, we will show you two very useful marking examples.
Pipe marking
To reduce accidents and increase the efficiency of plants with pipelines, it is necessary to identify them.
The pipe markers are available in 3 levels of quality and can be fully customized in order to include the necessary information about the pipe, its contents and flow.
The purpose of pipeline marking is to ensure rapid identification of pipeline contents, flow direction and associated hazards. Quick detection can mean less time spent shutting down valves in the event of maintenance or problems.
The labels that are attached to the pipes must remain attached and retain their color codes to certain relevant environmental factors such as:
- Ultraviolet radiation.
- Salt water.
- Chemicals.
- Humidity.
As mentioned above, the prints are fully customizable.
In the following example, you will see how we can create labels in any color with the mandatory safety information (in most national standards and regulations) such as the GHS/CLP symbols, the description of the pipe contents or the QR code for electronic recognition.
Cable identification
How many times have we made a mess of trying to figure out which way a wire goes?
Cable identification with durable labels allows immediate identification of how an installation is connected and how it works.
Professional identification of cables and components allows:
- Add warnings or safety precautions.
- Properly follow shelf life and supplier.
- Go to the specific cable to solve the problem in question.
If we stop to think about how many hours we have invested in following a cable, perhaps we will internalize the value of proper professional labeling.
Labels can vary in color or shape depending on their application. They can be attached to the cable or have holes on both sides to pass the cable through to ensure that they do not come off.
There are also flag-shaped tags that are fastened with cable ties for a better attachment to the cable.
As we have seen, Brady labelers are a must-have product for cost savings and optimized performance in any environment.
