Aviation and Aerospace Part Marking and Coding
Within the aviation and aerospace industry, it is vital that accurate information is permanently applied for traceability. Safety-relevant information is printed on these components by using a barcode or matrix code containing specific encrypted data. Such marking requirements on the production process can be a challenge with customer specifications, high-speed lines and tight production deadlines. However, Linx provides flexible, cost-effective solutions that deliver high quality, and clear traceability across a variety of different pack formats and material types to help meet our customer’s needs.
