Russian steel pipe maker United Metallurgical Company OMK’s Blagoveshchensk plant in Republic of Bashkortostan has begun applying QR codes to large-sized pipeline valves & all products manufactured by the OMK plant in Blagoveshchensk bear such a special marking. Last year, the plant purchased a laser machine that allows marking on rebar spindles with a diameter of up to 1000 millimeters. Prior to the transition to marking the entire product line, the plant applied codes to some of its types, so the plant's customers have already appreciated the convenience of this technology.The QR code contains a unique manufacturer number, product name, profile size and brand characteristics. The widest possible use of QR codes on parts will increase the speed and accuracy of shipment of pipeline fittings to the client. Also, thanks to the identification of each unit of finished products, OMK Armstal customers will be additionally protected from the risk of purchasing counterfeit products. The Blagoveshchensk OMK plant sent the first batch of large-diameter fittings with the new marking to the customer at the end of March.Laser marking of all products will allow customers to quickly and easily get a complete product description: the code is read by the camera of any smartphone. In addition to protection against counterfeiting, a QR code provides direct access to OMK digital services and prompt download of electronic quality certificates. I am confident that this innovation will make the relationship between the enterprise and customers even more convenient and efficient
