Material identification in the automotive industry

Lasting and direct identification of products is a crucial prerequisite for seamless traceability. Therefore it is an important part of quality assurance.

The method: A plain text with alphanumeric characters, special characters or a DataMatrix code is applied. Thus, the components are traceable at any time by means of stored data, such as production location and time of manufacture. For quality management, this leads to clear path and process reconstruction. Among other things, brake discs, ABS systems, exhaust systems, engine and transmission parts, as well as nameplates are identified. Our well thought-out VIN integration solutions for scribe and needle marking can be used with automatic or manual handling within the unpainted or painted body. The data for the marking process is transferred from the production host computer or read from data carriers.

The marking of special symbols, 2D codes or chassis numbers, as well as the marking of complex components, can be implemented in both scribe and laser marking technology.
