TigerTag Factory & TigerTag Manager (factory suite)

The industrial side of TigerSystem — the tools filament factories use to put TigerTag inside their products. Unlike the user-facing sandbox, this is production software: it is what put more than 2.5 million chips in the field.

Two tools cover the two halves of the job:

  • TigerTag Manager — manages the brand’s filament database: products, materials, colors, settings.
  • TigerTag Factorymass-writes the data into every spool produced, at line speed: about 1 second per chip — thousands of spools a day, one click.

The two independent NFC chips are plainly visible — one per end. The ends fold over the cardboard core so the spool reads from either side; the middle holds with industrial 3M adhesive (468MP / 200MP). The operator peels and sticks — nothing else on the line changes. The carrier design is public and printable at home.

Chips written on the production line carry the factory signature — the authentication that proves the product’s origin. It is the layer behind TigerTag+ factory-state restores and the trust anchor for brands: a signed chip demonstrably came out of the real factory.

Not public. These tools are reserved for third-party manufacturers implementing the TigerTag RFID/NFC technology in their products. A filament production line can be up and running with TigerTag in as little as 5 days — see For filament manufacturers and reach out through the GitHub organization.
