8001000IUTag

8001000IUTag is a numeral-alphanumeric tag format designed for the identification of industrial IoT devices and related assets. The name combines a fixed numeric prefix, 8001000, with a variable, alphanumeric code (IUTag) that encodes device class, model, and serial information. The format is used in tagging schemes intended to improve asset traceability and interoperability among enterprise information systems.

Technical characteristics: The tag is typically rendered as a machine-readable code such as a QR code, Data Matrix, or RFID tag, carrying data that can be decoded by scanners. The prefix 8001000 serves as a namespace to distinguish IoT-related tags from other identifiers. Within the payload, fields may include issuer ID, device type, production lot, expiration or commissioning date, and a unique serial. When human-readable text is included, it may appear as a structured string like 8001000IUTag-<vendor>-<model>-<serial>.

Applications: It is intended for inventory management, device provisioning and onboarding, maintenance records, and supply chain traceability. In industrial environments, it supports lifecycle management by linking physical items to digital records in asset management systems, enterprise resource planning, and IoT platforms.

Standards and adoption: There is no single governing body or universal standard for 8001000IUTag. Implementations vary, and organizations may map the prefix to internal taxonomies or to external ecosystems such as GS1, EPC/RFID, or UUID-based identifiers. Security considerations include access control, data integrity, and protection against spoofing or tampering.
