Mark&Read Solutions for the Electrical and Electronics Industry

In the electrical and electronics industry, printing production codes, traceability codes, barcodes, QR codes, and DataMatrix on components and cables is a mandatory factor to ensure quality, data traceability, and compliance with international standards.

Mark&Read – a solution that combines Markem-Imaje ‘s advanced printing technology with Cognex inspection cameras and CoLOS Line management software – provides optimization for modern production lines.

What is Mark&Read?

Mark&Read is an integrated solution for Mark and Read , allowing:

• Print (Mark): Use CIJ, TIJ or Laser printing technology to directly print traceability codes, QR codes, barcodes, textcodes, datecodes… onto electronic components and electrical cables .
• Read & Inspect: The Cognex 2802 industrial camera captures images of printed codes, analyzing clarity, contrast, size, and content.
• Confirmation & feedback: If the code meets the requirements → the product passes; if not → the system automatically rejects .

Mark&Read Featured Applications

• Print and check ultra-small QR codes (3.8 x 3.8mm) with high resolution.
• High speed cable printing up to 1000 m/s .
• Print traceability code for traceability.
• Print and check lot code, date code for electronic components.

Benefits of applying Mark&Read

• Ensures print quality – eliminates blurry and misprinted prints.
• Reduce the risk of product recalls due to identification errors.
• Easily retrieve data by batch, production date, factory.
• Increase line productivity with high print speeds and automated inspection.
