In today's fast-changing electronics industry,manufacturers must use the right technology to address many of the obstacles they face.The coding and marking of the print can enable the manufacturer to track and trace the product throughout the supply chain.

Electronic equipment is mainly composed of a large number of small components, each component for the overall function of electronic equipment and safety are essential. These electronic equipment component manufacturers are responsible for ensuring that each tiny component is functioning properly, but they are faced with the dilemma that is becoming more and more difficult due to the increasing fraud in the electronics market.

The coding and marking of the print can enable the manufacturer to track and trace the product throughout the supply chain.Importantly,they can also be used to distinguish between genuine and forged components.However,counterfeiters are becoming more sophisticated,and they have developed the ability to copy and encode them.In order to deal with this problem,manufacturers have found it necessary to adopt more sophisticated coding methods,such as intelligent coding technology,intelligent coding and micro-character printing.

In today's fast-changing electronics industry,manufacturers must use the right technology to address many of the obstacles they face.

Electronic components are usually similar in appearance.Marking enable manufacturers to safely distinguish between these components.In addition,Logo also enable manufacturers to build brand awareness of their products.    

Advanced micro-character inkjet printers have proven to be suitable for the application of the above solutions.Micro-character ink jet printer can be high-speed printing clear and easy to read high-quality text,print the character height as low as 0.6 mm.

Using the algorithmic software technology,the ink jet printer with intelligent coding function can change and verify the specific characters within the code.The use of intelligent coding technology to improve the existing batch number /batch basic code is very simple,but only a symbolic increase in production costs.Without knowing its algorithms and keys,it is impossible to replicate such smart codes,which greatly helps prevent fraud,thus avoiding huge profit losses.

Intelligent Marking technology

Component manufacturers can use a variety of intelligent ink jet technology to improve the basic batch number/batch coding. Various technologies vary in complexity and application:

Self-test code

Self-test code is the most basic method of identifying the authenticity of a product by visual inspection.This identification technique sets the code according to a set of predetermined patterns,for example,the sum of all numbers is a certain value.

Intersect the marking

When interleaving identification techniques are used,the characters within the code can be partially overlapped, and these overlapping characters,although visible to the naked eye, are extremely difficult to reproduce.

Dynamically change the font

Encoding within different numbers and letters with subtle parts of the character missing to create a unique code.The advantage of this type of coding is that it is difficult to visually find small differences,and only supply chain partners who have received coding design training can find it.

Verifiable code

Verifiable codes that are tracked by the visual inspection system can be used with unique software algorithms that can not be replicated without knowing the algorithm and the key.

Concealed coding

Ultraviolet (UV) and infrared (IR) inks can be used to create hidden invisible codes that are invisible to the naked eye.This type of code is visible only in the presence of ultraviolet light or other high-frequency light,and is a difficult-to-detect full supply chain product tracking method.

Counterfeit products are likely to cause huge losses to the company.This is the real problem facing the electronic components industry,in a way,the problem can be solved by coding and marking applications.In addition,component manufacturers must also deal with the additional challenges of increasingly complex coding on small surface surfaces, and the use of outdated technology to deal with these problems is not a long-term solution.Choosing an advanced CIJ or laser printer with intelligent coding capabilities can help manufacturers deal with fraud problems while ensuring maximum production line performance.
