For state-of-the-art production systems, tracing products and parts with machine-readable
identification is a central requirement. A unique coding system permits the planning
of each and every step of production for every part manufactured and changes
within the production process or in the materials used. Direct marking of products
also allows the implementation of specified legal requirements for tracing production
batches throughout the production system. Marking plays an important role not
only in the production process, but also during the product’s life cycle,
e.g. for liability issues. Other special applications, e.g. military inventories,
are covered by other products (UID).
Highlights
Unique identification of products or product parts – Direct
Part Marking is the key technology for tracing products
Part-specific documentation
of the production process
Automation of the
manufacturing process
Verification for
product liability cases (e.g. recall actions)
Stationary code reading systems
The
stationary code reading systems either consist of high- performance read devices
or of a PC-based code reading system. The devices read various two-dimensional
(2D) codes as well as one-dimensional (1D) barcodes. The PC-based system is
a fast, powerful code reading system for various two-dimensional (2D) codes,
one dimensional (1D) barcodes and OCR (optical character recognition). Many readers,
including the PC-based code reading system, use data matrix print-quality monitoring
(verification) for process control.
Hand-held reading systems
These
hand-held reading systems are powerful, high- resolution read devices for either
twodimensional (2D) data matrix codes and/or one-dimensional bar codes (1D).
The devices can communicate with a host computer using RS232, USB, PS2 and Bluetooth,
depending on the selected version.
Verification systems
By
using verification systems, the readability of marks is guaranteed throughout
the entire production process regardless of any possible contamination or when
using different read devices. The readability of the mark can be verified throughout
the life span of the product. Verification systems also make it possible to increase
or optimize the marking speed because readability is constantly verified.
