Secure Traceability for Reused Industrial Components
How Ammeraal Beltech Tracks and Verifies Reused Equipment
Sustainable reuse isn’t just good for the planet, it’s good business. But only when trust and traceability are built in.
As part of its ongoing circularity efforts, Ammeraal Beltech sought a way to systematically reuse components and machinery across operations. From sustainability reporting to aftermarket sales, the stakes were high. Reused parts needed to meet the same quality and safety expectations as new ones, and that meant knowing exactly what each item was, where it came from, and whether it still qualified for reuse. O-KEY enabled that clarity.
Full traceability, from material composition to reuse validation.
Ammeraal Beltech applied a unique, unclonable O-KEY to each reused item, linking it to a full digital record of usage, composition, inspection status, and prior lifecycle data. With a single scan, internal teams could verify material types and histories, ensuring that parts met technical specifications for reuse and that nothing entered production without qualification.
By embedding these digital fingerprints into each unit, the company eliminated guesswork and manual validation. This meant faster decisions, fewer errors, and a lower risk of costly replacements or failures down the line. The O-KEY system integrated smoothly with existing equipment tagging workflows, requiring no new hardware and minimal training.
This process supported the company’s broader efforts to increase recycled content in its products, including belts made with recycled fabrics, which combine environmental benefits with uncompromising performance.
A foundation for green product lines. And new business models.
This level of trusted traceability unlocked more than operational efficiency. It made it possible to create new product lines built entirely from reused and recycled components—backed by verifiable, scan-level proof of sustainability. Rather than marketing reuse as an abstract concept, Ammeraal Beltech could demonstrate it, one item at a time.
Internally, the approach supported ESG reporting, audit readiness, and alignment with evolving regulations like the EU Digital Product Passport. Externally, it enabled premium positioning of circular products without compromising on safety, quality, or brand integrity.
With O-KEY, sustainable reuse became more than a goal. It became a repeatable, data-backed process with clear business upside.
