Compact information
The 2D code concentrates information in a controlled space for parts, components and instruments to be marked.

THE CHALLENGE
Data that endures
readable on the part.
For devices and instruments, traceability relies on information that is identified, verifiable and suited to the substrate. Marking must be considered holistically: code, material, geometry, cleaning, use and inspection.
IDENTIFICATION STRUCTURE
From the reference
to the produced unit.
The UDI vocabulary separates model identifiers from production data. This local page maintains that framework to ease communication between quality, industrialization and the shop floor.
01Base reference
The group or family of devices to document.
02Device identifier
The stable reference for a model or configuration.
03Production data
Lot, serial, date or other variable data per unit.
04Readable representation
The machine code and operator text are designed together.
SEE TRACEABILITY
A mark
to be read back.
The photograph captures the industrial context of UDI marking: component, harness and 2D data are presented together in the same scene.
THE DPM SUBSTRATE
DataMatrix: compact,
direct and controllable.
Direct on-part marking requires end-to-end consideration: code geometry, surface condition, contrast, placement and verification.
Permanent marking
The laser alters the surface without adding ink, using a process that must be qualified on the actual materials and operating conditions.
Verified reading
Project compliance is achieved with a control strategy, definition of expected quality and validation of reading.
INTEGRATION WORKFLOW
From the specifications
to the read code.
- 01Qualify the part
Material, finish, geometry and usage constraints.
- 02Define the data
Code structure, variable data and need for readable text.
- 03Tune the process
Contrast, dimensions, placement and marking rate.
- 04Verify the reading
Reading and validation according to the project quality protocol.
VISUAL REFERENCE POINTS
The project is built
with evidence.
The dossier retains a single visual reference to streamline exchanges between industrialization, quality and production, without combining incompatible documentation formats.
STANDARD IDENTIFICATIONUDI
Data, media and reading are defined within the same qualification framework.
