Parker Tracking System (PTS)

The Parker Tracking System (PTS) is a web based service for customers to verify and identify Parker O-ring products by using Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology.

Parker has developed a tracking system to strengthen O-ring identification for industries and applications where authenticity, traceability, and security are crucial.

The Parker Tracking System (PTS) uses RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) technology to detect and identify rubber elastomers and seal properties. The use of PTS helps eliminate seal replacement inaccuracies and installation errors. This in turn, increases equipment uptime and decreases maintenance costs.

In addition, PTS provides reporting tools useful in driving quality control and continuous improvement programs. Documentation of the original bill of materials ensures product assembly replacement to exact OEM specifications and compliance with applicable industry and safety standards. This is particularly important for oil and gas, mining, military, aerospace and other regulated industries.
