Smart Grid Tags® from Premax create the physical link between your computer database and the
asset in the field. By using randomly numbered Smart Grid pole tags, each pole gets its own unique
Pole ID, allowing utility personnel to mark poles without having to worry about marking in sequential
order. Without duplicate numbers or the need for consecutive order, it doesn’t matter if a tag is lost
or damaged. The tag can simply be replaced and there’s no need to improvise a marking solution.
Premax embossed aluminum Smart Grid Tags® are
lightweight, environmentally friendly and highly resistant to
the weather. They will outlast the outdoors.
