Inkjet coding and marking solutions for vehicle parts
Particularly high safety standards apply in the automotive industry. Vehicle manufacturers therefore have to guarantee the clear identification and complete traceability of their components. Our inkjet coding and marking systems do this safely and reliably.

MARKING IN THE PRODUCTION PROCESS IN THE AUTOMOTIVE INDUSTRY
Markings and codes are often required by automotive manufacturers and suppliers to ensure the quality of vehicle components. Ideally, the part markings are applied directly during production using direct marking. This means that the components are clearly marked right from the start for seamless traceability back to the production site. All processes can be easily analyzed at any time. Regulatory requirements must be observed when marking the components. These include the basic specifications VDA 5005 and VDA 5510 and marking in accordance with the European REACH regulation for chemical products. Quality assurance also includes balancing point marking for car tires, good/bad marking and other especially important quality markings.
What is important for inkjet coding and marking solutions?
- Reliable work in industrial production
- Permanently durable part marking
- Fast, simple and economical coding and marking technologies
- Legal requirements (VDA 5005, VDA 5010, VDA 5510, REACH regulation)
Industrial inkjet coding and marking solutions are used in all areas of the automotive industry and its suppliers. Virtually all vehicle parts are marked with codes and markings. They ensure the identification, tracking and management of vehicle parts along the entire production cycle and in the supply chain.
Application examples for component marking
- Non-contact direct marking (Direct Part Marking - DPM) of components with inkjet
- Marking of steel springs using spray mark technolgie
- Production codes on textile cords using an inject printer
- Balancing point marking during tire assembly with inkjet spray mark technolgie
- Quality markings, defect markings and good part markings to provide information about the quality and condition of components
- Counterfeit protection for safety-relevant components
- Traceability and containment of defective batches
- Implementation of customer/legal specifications
- Track & Trace procedures for serialization in automotive manufacturing
- Perfectly functioning supply chain and transport logistics
Discover the various application possibilities of our industrial inkjet coding and marking solutions. They enable process-reliability, automation and traceability in the automotive industry.
In the basic specifications VDA 5005 and VDA 5510, the VDA (German Association of the Automotive Industry) prints processes and procedures for the traceability of vehicle parts and the identifiability of their technical design.
The basic specification VDA 5010, published by the VDA (German Association of the Automotive Industry), provides information on relevant forms of delivery in the automotive industry.
