Industrial Marking by Industry
Solar & Photovoltaics
In the field of solar technology and photovoltaics, UV and temperature resistance and high abrasion resistance play a particularly important role. This is because the marking is permanently located outdoors and is exposed to strong environmental influences. Whether cable markers or type plates for labeling inverters - discover the cable marking system for PV systems here.
Railway industry
In the railway industry, especially in rail vehicle construction, the marking must not only be durable, but also halogen-free. At Texit, our cable markers for the railway industry also meet the important European standards railway standard EN 45545-2:2016 (R22/R23) and the requirements of EN 50343:2014 (Annex H).
Electronics & switch cabinet construction
An essential element in control cabinet construction is safety and the associated clear, highly visible and permanent marking of electrical components through the formation of uniform reference markings. Cost-effective, individual and high-quality marking solutions with fast availability are in demand. TEXIT has specialised in this with a broad product portfolio and will work with you to create the optimum and permanent marking.
Wind turbines
Cold, heat, snow, humidity, salty climates - these are just a few examples of the extreme environmental influences to which the labelling of (offshore) wind turbines is exposed. Durability under extreme conditions is one of the most important requirements for labelling in the wind turbine sector.
Chemical, Oil & Gas Industry
The requirements for labelling in the chemical, oil & gas sector are very high. Reliable temperature resistance, safe chemical resistance and abrasion resistance of cable markers and labels are just a few examples. We at Texit have specialised in individual marking solutions for high requirements.
Machinery & Plant Engineering
In machine and plant construction, a wide variety of requirements are placed on marking. Texit offers a wide range of markers for indoor and outdoor applications. For permanent marking, high adhesive properties are required for the labels, among other things.
Telecommunications
In telecommunications, cable markers and labels are used in very different places. When marking transmission masts, the marking must be very robust and UV-resistant. If server rooms are marked, it is primarily a matter of long durability and easy handling. Self-laminating cable labels are often used here.
Event technology
Labeling plays an important role in the field of event technology. In hardly any other industry is so much equipment set up and dismantled in such a short time. In order to work as efficiently as possible, good planning and organization are absolutely essential. In this context, labeling is a central element. No matter if speaker cables, mixers or spotlights: With Texit you can mark all equipment in no time.
EDP & IT cabling
Reliable and flexible cable labeling is of crucial importance for IT cabling. To ensure structured cabling of computers and computer systems, it is necessary that all cables are clearly and legibly labeled. This is essential to enable efficient organization, easy maintenance and quick troubleshooting of the network system.
Defence & Security
Security and defence is one of the most important industries worldwide. In addition to the classic areas such as weapons and ammunition manufacturing, communication and surveillance technology plays an essential role, as these technologies are also used in private areas. Whether for marking equipment or cabling in traffic and surveillance cameras or complex operations centres, Texit cable and label markers are used everywhere, as they are ideally suited for indoor as well as outdoor applications and have very high adhesive properties and abrasion resistance.
Machines & Devices
Since 2002, we have been supplying our customers in the machinery & equipment sector with high-quality marking products and developing individual solutions. Whether cable marking or labels - here you will find all the products that our customers in the machinery & equipment sector are already successfully using for marking.
Building Technology & Automation
Cable markers and labels are used in many different ways in building technology and automation. Since components and connecting parts are often used outdoors, the corresponding cable markers and labels must be very robust against various weather influences and UV rays.
Medical technology
Especially in medical technology, there are strict rules on the necessary labelling. Since 26 May 2021, machine- and human-readable product labelling has become mandatory here. Texit's high-quality polyester labels are particularly suitable for the optimal labelling of medical technology products.
Aerospace
Labelling of components, devices or cables is of existential importance in the aerospace industry because the highest requirements have to be met here. Only the necessary adhesive properties, physical abrasion resistance and temperature resistance to various substances in all three aggregate states ensure the function and safety of the technical systems for labels and cable markers. Texit has a broad product portfolio in this area and can supply suitable solutions.
Shipping
Marking in shipping is exposed to high mechanical stress. Wetness, high salt concentrations and constant movement have a strong effect on the marking products. At Texit, we therefore have special products that meet these requirements for both conventional and military shipbuilding.
Tip from our expert Simon
For flexible on-site labeling, many industrial companies have found that purchasing a complete printing system is a proven solution. This system consists of the appropriate labeling material, a thermal transfer printer, a suitable thermal transfer ribbon, and our Texit Designer 11 software. This allows companies to create labels in-house as needed, customized to their specific requirements, and on short notice.
Texit industrial marking
As a manufacturer of industrial labeling solutions, TEXIT has been providing labeling solutions to companies in the manufacturing industry for over 20 years. Different types of labeling are required depending on the application—ranging from cable and conductor labeling to equipment and machinery labeling, as well as safety, inspection, and maintenance labeling.
The thermal transfer process is particularly well-suited for industrial labeling. In this process, the ink is permanently transferred to the substrate using heat. Depending on the application, materials such as plastic labels, cable markers, or materials for nameplates are used. The labels produced in this way are highly durable and are therefore particularly well-suited for industrial environments.
Cable and Conductor Marking
Cables, wires, and conductors must be clearly identifiable in machines, control cabinets, and complex systems. Permanent cable and wire labeling facilitates installation, maintenance, troubleshooting, and servicing.
TEXIT offers a variety of cable labeling solutions that can be printed directly and used on-site, depending on the application. Thanks to our quality management system, more than 1,000 customers across over 20 industrial sectors rely on TEXIT’s labeling solutions.
For more information, see the " Cable Labeling" section.
Cable and wire labeling is often confused with technical cable designation. You can find detailed information on this topic in our guide to technical cable designation.
Equipment and Machine Identification
Machines and equipment require permanently legible markings so that important information can be clearly identified. This includes, for example, nameplates, machine markings, equipment designations, and other technical information.
Depending on the application, these markings can be custom-made or produced directly on-site using appropriate printing systems. In addition to good legibility, resistance to mechanical and thermal stresses as well as industrial environmental conditions plays a particularly important role.
Equipment Labeling
The purpose of equipment labeling is to uniquely identify components within machines, systems, and control panels. These include, for example, switches, fuses, relays, terminals, and other electrical or technical equipment.
Clear labeling helps establish a link between the actual equipment and the technical documentation, thereby simplifying installation, maintenance, and troubleshooting. Printable labels and identification tags, among other items, are used for this purpose.
Here you'll find more information if you want to label equipment in the control panel.
Inspection and Maintenance Markings
Inspection and maintenance labels indicate the inspection, maintenance, or calibration status of machines, systems, and work equipment. Typical applications include inspection stickers, maintenance labels, and labels for periodic inspections.
They help companies document inspection intervals in a traceable manner and provide important information directly on the respective piece of equipment.
Safety Labeling
Safety signs are used to clearly indicate hazards, rules of conduct, and safety-related information. These include, for example, warning, prohibition, and mandatory signs, as well as other notices posted on machines, equipment, and work areas.
Unlike inspection markings, the focus here is not on the inspection status of a piece of equipment, but rather on the safety of people and processes.
FAQ Marking in the industry
What is industrial labeling?
What is industrial labeling?
Industrial labeling is the visible identification and marking of machines, systems, devices and products in the production process. In concrete terms, the aim is to clearly identify all machines, components and ultimately also the products involved in the production process. There are different standards and guidelines for this, depending on the industry. A fundamental difference in industrial marking is the place of use. Production processes are often subject to extreme conditions (temperatures, use of chemicals, mechanical stress, ...) that we do not experience in this way in the environment. Therefore, industrial labeling must meet special requirements.
