Bar Code Tags for Utility Pole Applications

 Camcode’s utility pole tags have been used in conjunction with GIS mapping initiatives. Precise mapping and field data collection support efficiency in the field when it comes to maintenance, repairs, and outages, making it possible for field technicians to quickly and accurately pinpoint the location of a specific pole. What’s more, utility mapping gives you a bird’s-eye view of your entire infrastructure and supports smarter maintenance and inspection planning.

Keeping utility poles in good working order is critical for modern utilities, when service interruptions cause major frustration among customers and labor costs, such as overtime expenses, can skyrocket when the source of a problem isn’t easily identified. Utility pole tags provide an accurate, efficient way to document and track both regular inspections and periodic maintenance activities, ensuring that your assets are in good working order the majority of the time.

Joint use utility poles are increasingly common as utilities look to additional avenues for revenue generation. In joint use relationships, quick and easy identification of the pole owner is essential when service and repair calls are necessary, plus unique identification supports overall asset management tracking and recovery of pole rental revenue. Utility pole markers support joint use initiatives and can also function as jurisdiction tags when printed with the supplier’s name and logo.

Beyond asset identification, utility pole marking tags are also utilized for safety initiatives, such as “Do Not Climb” warnings, aiding utilities in meeting regulatory compliance while improving on-the-job safety for field technicians.
