Alternative Manufacturing: Quality of Traceability Contents: Challenges and Solutions

Chicago, Illinois - Either you are producing automotive parts, aerospace components or medical device implants, the industry and government regulations impose the marking of quality traceable part identity content. The content, typically marked by lasers, consists of human readable data and/or a 2D code. The quality of the traceable content is essential to make sure that parts manufactured at one location are identifiable anywhere in the world.Traceability technology also helps track processes, goods and are critical when recalls are required.
As part of the quality process associated with traceability, parts must be validated for identity before applying the permanent mark.
