Industrial marking is not just a choice, but a legal requirement. In many industries, there are national, regional and international regulations that require manufacturers to permanently and indelibly mark their products.
Example: The markings on a firearm
Every firearm must bear a specific set of information, such as the manufacturer's name, model, serial number, and year of manufacture. This information is essential for the registration and traceability of the firearm in order to combat the black market and ensure public safety.
In the automotive sector, VIN (Vehicle Identification Number) marking is mandatory on all vehicles, including cars, vans and motorcycles. The VIN is a 17-character alphanumeric code that uniquely identifies each vehicle and enables its traceability throughout the production and distribution chain.
In addition to these examples, marking is mandatory in many other sectors, such as home appliances, medical devices, toys and food products. Specific regulations vary by sector and country, but the goal is always to ensure consumer safety, intellectual property protection and the fight against counterfeiting.

Every product placed on the market must have a warranty. In order to offer this mandatory warranty, the product in question must bear the product brand, model and, most importantly, the serial number. Without this information, the product cannot be under warranty.
This happens with a cell phone (IMEI code is what marks the phone), but also with other products, such as, electronic or mechanical devices (watches)
Every product needs to harbor information. Information about the use of the product itself or other technical information e.g., a socket wrench
Counterfeiting is not a problem limited to fashion, but poses a serious threat in many industries, including automotive, aviation, and military. "Pirate parts," or copied or cloned products, can jeopardize consumer safety and seriously damage the reputation of manufacturing companies.
Industrial marking with sophisticated technologies is an effective deterrent against counterfeiting. Automator's marking systems, for example, use advanced technologies such as laser marking, ink-jet marking, and dot-peen marking to create unique and indelible markings on products. These markings are difficult to falsify and can be easily identified by consumers and relevant authorities.

Industrial marking is not only a functional requirement; it can also be a powerful tool for enhancing the aesthetics of a product.
A well-crafted logo, an elegant decoration or a distinctive texture can transform a simple object into a unique and eye-catching product.
Every manufacturer is responsible for the safety and compliance of the products it places on the market. Industrial marking can play a key role in defining liability in case of malfunctions, defects or damage caused by the products themselves.
Automator offers marking solutions that ensure maximum traceability and reliability. Our marking systems comply with the strictest international standards and allow you to create a unique "identity card" for each component of your products.
Product traceability has become an essential element in modern production. Marking is essential to be able to trace the product throughout the entire production chain, from raw material to the end consumer.
New technologies, such as RFID and IoT, make it possible to track products even more precisely and in greater detail. For example, it is possible to monitor product location in real time, record temperature and humidity conditions during transport, and receive notifications in case of abnormal events.
Industrial marking is not only used to identify and track products, but can also be used to personalize them and make them unique.
