Laser Marking and Machine Vision Codes for Product Security and Traceability
Industrial manufacturing requirements for indelible part marking on plastics containing machine vision codes are growing exponentially. Direct part marking of variable data enables tracking a product from the time of manufacturing until the end of its useful life, which is critical for product security and traceability.
This webinar examines the use of laser marking and 2D data matrix codes to achieve unique unit level identification (UID). Basic principles and applications of both technologies will be presented.
New advancements in plastics laser marking and 2D codes offer unprecedented capabilities. Further, there are favorable economics for light-weight, high performance plastic components to replace traditionally more expensive metal parts.
Post 9/11, manufacturers are implementing strategies to establish traceability and thwart product tampering and counterfeiting. The U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) has implemented MIL-STD-130N as standard practice on military property.
Beyond DoD military requirements, industrial manufacturers are aggressively implementing similar protocol for products including automotive, electronic, medical/pharmaceutical, packaging consumer goods, and more.
