Marking on vehicle components

Marking of vehicle components is an obvious part of quality systems in the automotive industry. Each component must be uniquely identifiable, both during production and long after it has been installed in a vehicle. The same high requirements apply in the railway industry, where documentation and traceability are often strictly regulated and in some cases linked to standards such as GS1.

Different techniques for Vehicle Components

Laser marking on vehicle parts

Laser marking

Laser marking is an established technology in the automotive industry where the demands for quality, repeatability and traceability are high. The marking is permanent and can withstand the stresses that the components are exposed to throughout their life cycle. 

The technology is well suited to automated production environments where consistent quality and stable operation are crucial. 

Advantages: 

  • Durable and permanent marking 
  • High repeatability in series production 
  • Withstands heat, vibrations and mechanical impact 
  • Easy to integrate into automated flows

Inkjet marking of vehicle parts

Inkjet printing

Inkjet marking is used when information needs to be flexible and can vary in production. The technology is well suited for marking, for example, batch numbers, dates and internal production information. 

The contactless marking works at high speeds and is easily adapted to existing production lines. 

Advantages: 

  • Flexible labelling with varying information 
  • Capable of high production speeds 
  • Contactless marking without affecting the part 
  • Smooth integration into ongoing production

Read more about Vehicle Components

Marking of vehicle components is an obvious part of quality systems in the automotive industry. Each component must be uniquely identifiable, both during production and long after it has been installed in a vehicle. The same high requirements apply in the railway industry, where documentation and traceability are often strictly regulated and in some cases linked to standards such as GS1.

Components are often made of metal and produced in high volumes, which requires consistent and durable metal marking. The information must be clear and often machine-readable, while also needing to withstand heat, vibration and mechanical wear throughout the component's life.

Correct and durable labelling on vehicle components contributes to full traceability, efficient complaint handling and secure documentation – from manufacturing to aftermarket.

Questions & Answers (FAQ)

Yes, both laser marking and inkjet marking can be integrated directly into production lines. The marking can then be applied automatically to each component without the need to stop production.
In some flows, inkjet marking (CIJ) is used because the technology can apply information to products that move quickly on conveyor belts or in production lines.
Yes, marking systems can be connected to production systems so that laser marking or inkjet marking automatically applies the correct serial number, batch number or production data to each component.
Laser marking is often used to mark components with serial numbers, batch numbers or 2D codes that are linked to production data. This makes it possible to track components throughout their entire lifecycle – from manufacturing to service and aftermarket.
Yes. Laser marking is often used when there are high demands for permanent and clear identification of components. The marking can include, for example, DataMatrix codes or serial numbers that are linked to digital documentation and traceability systems.
Yes. Laser marking can be used to mark components with various types of codes, including GS1-based identifications. This is particularly relevant in industries such as railways where standardized traceability is often required.
