With the growing demand for automation and digital traceability in the automotive industry, accurate and reliable production processes are critical. Many manufacturers integrate Direct Part Marking (DPM) code reading technology to ensure quality control and traceability. However, this comes with challenges:

An automotive component manufacturer faced challenges reading a 10x10mm DataMatrix code laser-printed on rough, uneven piston rod surfaces during production. Water droplets and oil stains often covered the codes, causing significant reductions in contrast. Additionally, the vibration and high temperatures conditions further complicated the code reading process, making conventional code readers ineffective. These issues jeopardized the production line's efficiency and failed to meet the strict reading rate requirement of 99.94%.

Manufacturer was seeking for a cost-effective solution for stable and highest-rate reading label-based code on the Auto Parts in quality inspection processing to replace the model they are using. To stable and no-one-miss reading and easy to integration.

As tires go through multiple locations, plants, cities or countries during their life cycle, accurate tire identification is critical to managing compliance, work in process, sorting and routing, and quality control, which is critical to tire Manufacturer's basic requirements. In order to achieve strict control over all production processes from receiving raw materials to final assembly and distribution, tire companies need reliable barcode reading solutions and equipment for inspection.
