Summary: | The quality standard SR EN 1090:2012 requirements enforce a maximum consistency both on the metallic construction manufacturing process and during all the additional stages till the construction site becomes a final product ready to be used. Any lack of attention during this complex manufacturing process might drive to different classes of damage consequences due to minor or major nonconformities. Therefore, among other important procedures, I refer here to the importance of marking both the raw materials (as part of the final product) and leftovers (as part of future work) resulted from the cutting process. I propose in this paper a specific database and a simple marking procedure based on QR codes. The database consists of detailed descriptions of all kind of metallic materials with different shape, structure and quality as well as all important information extracted from the quality certificate 3.1. that accompanies the goods once they arrive into the manufacturer’s storage. Since the standard underlines the necessity to identify any material during work processing, the system allows conversion of large text with important data into a QR code that can be scanned and therefore the material quickly identified into the manufacturer’s workshop.
