Why mark parts? As mentioned earlier, part marking enables accurate tracking of the serial number of a component through a marked QR code, data matrix code, or serial numbers. It’s also helpful in part identification and tracking statistics in component manufacturing and application. Part marking is thus vital for quality control and supply chain functions.
Other reasons for part marking include:
- To differentiate parts that look similar
- To facilitate part assembly
- To link the part or product to the company and machine on which it was produced
- For simple labeling
