BitRip App Solves Material, Equipment Management Issues

Nastro Technologies has launched the BitRip App. The app, when combined with proprietary heavy-duty labels preprinted with dynamic scannable codes, can be used to organize and track critical information, connecting physical objects to critical digital information.

Downloadable for free, BitRip is used with BR Code labels, and allows users to easily manage assets in the field by digitally storing, and editing, any information to that specific label. The app provides the accountability of a paper trail without the pile of papers on a desk.

U.S. Marine veteran, CEO and Co-Founder of the company, Nicholas Dimitruk, said that BitRip and the associated tape were conceived in field combat operations. Dimitruk explained that the app and labels deliver functionality well beyond QR codes and traditional barcodes. BitRip and BR Codes are completely fluid and flexible, and users can easily assign – and update – digital assets, links, and more, to them any time. The labels are preprinted on a roll and can be immediately deployed in the field.

While there are endless uses for the labels, the construction industry is specifically using them to track and manage the movement of building materials from manufacture to installation. Each BR label can be loaded with information about the product, such as its origin, manufacturing details, shipping information, installation instructions, warranty and more.

The data can include photos, audio, hyperlinks (including video links), PDFs, text and more. This helps streamline supply chain operations, reduce errors, and improve visibility and traceability. Every user scan imprints a timestamp, geolocation and user identifier, giving each code a uniquely trackable history.

Nastro Technologies also offers the BitRip Desktop Pro Plan, which delivers expanded capabilities beyond the free mobile app, including: the ability to manage multiple users across multiple projects; import/export data; high-volume label creation; scan activity dashboard; smartsheet integration; connect to other workflows via an open API; and much more.
