Product traceability requires a reliable link between a physical product and its manufacturing information.

Laser marking can create that link directly on suitable materials.

Serial Numbers

Unique serial numbers can identify individual products.

They can be used for:

• Production records

• Quality management

• Service tracking

• Inventory identification

Barcodes

Barcodes provide machine-readable information for manufacturing and logistics processes.

Two-Dimensional Codes

2D codes allow more information to be represented within a relatively small area.

Combined with fine laser marking, this is particularly useful for small components.

Anti-Counterfeiting

The catalog specifically highlights clear marks that are not easy to alter and can support anti-counterfeiting traceability.

Applicable Industries

Traceability marking is relevant to:

• Electronics

• Automotive components

• Bearings

• Hardware

• Appliances

• Jewelry

• Industrial components

Conclusion

Serial numbers, barcodes and QR-style 2D codes transform fiber laser equipment from a simple marking tool into an important industrial traceability solution.
