Direct to component

In an increasingly digitalised manufacturing world, seamless traceability of products or components is a key success factor. Whether for product recalls in the automotive industry, regulatory requirements in medical technology, or protection against counterfeiting in the watch industry – the demands for traceability are diverse.

Direct laser marking with DataMatrix codes offers a cost effective and futureproof solution.With the SpeedMarker and InMarker series, Trotec offers powerful industrial lasers that can be flexibly adapted to customer specific requirements – from standalone workstations to fully automated in line integration.

Direct part marking (DPM) enables information such as serial numbers, production data, or batch codes to be stored permanently and securely directly on the component. DPM not only increases quality and safety but also reduces production costs and optimises the supply chain. The marked data is transferred directly into the ERP system, ensuring end to end transparency.

Modern laser marking solutions enable durable and material specific marking – a decisive advantage given the increasing complexity of components, such as those in the automotive sector. Automotive IQ also emphasises the central role of DPM in traceability and product safety in the automotive industry.

Compared to conventional methods such as labels or dot peen marking, laser marking with Trotec systems is up to ten times more cost effective. Machines from the SpeedMarker or InMarker series can be seamlessly integrated into existing production processes and lines. Thanks to ERP connectivity, data can be transferred automatically – a clear advantage for companies seeking efficiency and scalability.Whether in mechanical engineering, automotive, rail, electronics, or medical technology – Trotec solutions are highly versatile.

The combination of robust laser technology, intuitive software, and flexible system integration makes them the ideal choice for a wide range of production environments.The markings comply with international standards such as ISO 28219 and ISO/IEC 29158, which define the readability and quality of DataMatrix codes. This makes Trotec systems ideally suited for global use and ensures the highest standards of traceability and quality assurance.
