Numbering, RFID Tags and Traceability

As part of the repair process Marlin apply a unique number to each drum.
This can be a number cut into each drum flange and/or a number electronically written to an RFID tag inserted into the flange.
Marlin track drums using these numbers and tags, not only to allow full traceability through the repair operations, but also to track drums outside the repair operations, enabling a service history to be created for each drum.
