Abstract
A cable-tie carrier is disclosed herein that includes a chip holder with a recess cavity for holding an electronic chip and a cable that is removably attached to the chip holder. The electronic chip stores identification information or testing data that may be used to identify and track the part. External computing devices (e.g., smart phone, tablet, scanner) may access the stored identification information or testing data for a user. The electronic chip is fastened, magnetically attached, or stuck with adhesive to the chip holder to position a transmitter (or antenna) to face out of the recess cavity.
