How
MechTag ID™
Works

MechTag ID™ connects your building's physical infrastructure to a permanent digital record. From the main Building Code to individual asset tags — every valve, pump, panel, and piece of equipment becomes instantly identifiable and permanently tracked.

Scan It. Find It. Access It. Act Faster.

— The Process

Six Steps to a
Fully Tagged Building

Step 01
Scan the Building Code

Every building is assigned a main MechTag ID™ Building Code — the digital gateway to the entire building profile. It can be placed at the entrance, security desk, mechanical room, or property management office.

Step 02
Search the Building

Users can search the building profile by unit number, floor, room, system type, or asset category. Find the right valve, riser, or piece of equipment in seconds — no binders, no drawings, no guessing.

Step 03
Scan the Asset Tag

Each valve, pump, panel, and piece of equipment has its own unique MTID TAG™ with a QR or NFC code. Scan the tag to instantly open that asset's complete digital profile.

Step 04
View Asset Information

The asset profile shows photos, exact location, system details, model numbers, service history, manuals, emergency instructions, and contractor notes — everything in one place.

Step 05
Log Service & Updates

Authorized contractors can scan any asset tag and add service notes, photos, repairs, inspections, and maintenance records directly through the MechTag ID™ App — building a permanent digital history.

Step 06
Build a Digital Record

Over time, the building develops a complete, verified digital infrastructure record — surviving ownership changes, staff turnover, and contractor transitions. The building never loses its history again.


— Step 01

The Building Code

The main Building Code is the digital front door to the entire building. When scanned, it opens the building's complete digital profile — giving authorized users instant access to everything they need to know about the building's infrastructure.

— Building Profile Includes

  • Building name and address
  • Property management contact information
  • Emergency contacts and procedures
  • Building drawings and riser diagrams
  • Mechanical room locations
  • Emergency shutoff procedures
  • Plumbing system information
  • HVAC system information
  • Electrical system information
  • Fire protection information
  • Medical gas information, where applicable
  • Contractor service history
  • Asset search directory
  • PDF reports and documentation packages
— Asset Tag Examples

Every Asset Has Its Own
Digital Identity

Individual MTID TAG™ codes are installed directly on or near equipment, valves, risers, pumps, panels, and other building assets. Each tag contains a unique record for that specific asset.

— Why It Matters

What MechTag ID™

Search by unit number and the app shows exactly which valve to close, where it is, and a photo confirming the location. No valve charts. No guessing.

Emergency shutoff procedures are one scan away — available 24/7 to any authorized user on any mobile device. When every second counts, MechTag ID™ delivers.
03

05
Preserve Institutional Knowledge
When staff changes or contractors move on, the building's knowledge stays behind — permanently stored in the MechTag ID™ system, not in someone's memory.
06
