Tag Manager
Load Tag & Production Count Software for Sheet Feeders
Every load that leaves the corrugator mistagged or miscounted becomes an extra setup, a short shipment, or a freight charge you eat. Tag Manager counts the sheets in each stacker discharge independently and prints accurate load tags right at the corrugator, so every unit is marked right the first time.
What Is Tag Manager?
Tag Manager is Amtech’s production-count and load-tag solution for sheet feeders, part of Axiom ERP. It determines the number of sheets in each stacker discharge, provides an independent count of production cuts, and automatically generates and prints load tags at the corrugator, eliminating preprinted tags. It supports unlimited tag formats (alphanumeric, embedded graphics, barcodes), retags damaged loads with corrected counts, and interfaces with the corrugator dry end and conveyor systems.
Accurate at the Stacker, Trusted Through Shipping
For Owners, Presidents, and VPs of Operations, stop paying for bad tags
- Accurate load identification eliminates missed loads, and the extra setups and freight costs a missed load forces.
- An independent count of production cuts means your inventory records match what actually came off the line.
- Professionally formatted load tags improve the appearance of outgoing loads and your plant’s reputation for quality.
For Plant Managers and Operators, the right info at the stacker
- Stacker operators get order-specific information for quality checks at the point of production.
- Accurate sheet counts per stacker discharge, no manual tallying, no preprinted-tag staging.
- Retag a damaged load and correct its count in seconds.
For Shipping and Receiving, a control record you can rely on
- Tag Manager provides an accurate control record for downstream machines and shipping.
- Know exactly where loads are and how many sheets each contains before they go on the truck.

FAQ
What does Tag Manager do?
Tag Manager counts the sheets in each stacker discharge at the corrugator, prints accurate load tags on the spot, and provides an independent count of production cuts, giving sheet feeders reliable inventory records and properly marked units from the moment they’re produced.
How does it improve count accuracy?
It provides an independent count of production cuts and prints the actual number of sheets in each load, rather than relying on preprinted tags or manual tallies.
Can it handle custom tag formats?
Yes. Tag Manager supports an unlimited number of load tag formats, including any combination of alphanumeric text, embedded graphics, and barcodes, configurable to customer requirements.
What happens if a tag is damaged?
Tag Manager supports retagging, quickly reproducing tags to replace damaged ones and correcting a unit’s count when required.
Does Tag Manager integrate with corrugator equipment?
Yes. It interfaces with the corrugator dry end and conveyor systems and is integrated within the Axiom Suite, with support for other external systems.
Is this the same as RIMS tag tracking?
No. Tag Manager handles load/unit tags coming off the stacker. RIMS handles roll-level tracking of incoming paper. Many sheet feeders run both.
