tagoló

Tagoló is a Hungarian term formed from the verb tagol (to tag, to divide, to mark) with the agent suffix -ó. In general usage it denotes a person or device that applies tags, labels, or markers to objects, or a process that adds such tags. The exact sense depends on context, spanning both physical tagging on products and digital tagging of information.

In industrial and logistics contexts a tagoló can refer to a labeling or tagging machine that prints and attaches labels, price tags, barcodes, or QR codes to packaging, garments, or containers. Such equipment is often integrated with production lines and warehouse systems to support inventory control, traceability, and automatic documentation. Manual tagging performed by workers on the shop floor is also described with this term, especially when tagging tasks are part of quality control or inventory procedures.

In information management and computing, tagoló may describe tagging software or a tagging engine that assigns metadata tags to digital resources such as images, documents, or multimedia. This usage emphasizes organization, searchability, and categorization, and it overlaps with related concepts like metadata tagging, tagging tools, and tagger components used in libraries, digital asset management, and content platforms.

Etymologically, tagoló reflects Hungarian morphological patterns, deriving from tagol with the agent noun suffix. The term is used most often in Hungarian-language industrial and IT contexts and may be found in product manuals, procurement documentation, and software descriptions referring to tagging capabilities.
