Traceability of industrial parts

Traceability of Industrial Parts

Traceability is a type of insurance. It can considerably reduce the costs of recall campaigns and improve production processes.

The concept of traceability has always been part of Technifor's know-how. With increasing pressure in practically every market, the marking of products has never been as important as today.

Driven by the automotive and aeronautics industries which chose our systems due to the permanence of the markings and the reliability of the equipment, many manufacturing industries now use Technifor systems for the traceability of their production.

This is one of the most urgent challenges for today's industry.

Traceability

This process is used to track a product or assembly throughout its life cycle by linking a unique identification (UID) to a database.

Traceability cycle

What When Where?	2D code	Reading	Database
Some of the crucial questions each of your products must be able to answer.	The use of a 2D DataMatrix code allows you to personalise and identify a component from the start of its life onwards.	The use of strategically-placed cameras allows you to detect and signal the presence of a component. The verification of the code marked can be used to reject faulty parts, report a deviation and schedule maintenance, etc.	The link to a database allows you to save all the data for a trace which may then be processed either online or offline to improve your production process.
