In manufacturing environments, companies utilize automated dot peen marking devices to help aid product traceability processes. Traceability is defined as “the quality of having an origin or course of development that may be found or followed”. This allows a manufacturer to manage product recalls, warranty issues, gain insight into Quality Control and manufacturing processes.

Products, components and assemblies are marked with small dots in pre-set configurations to help identify when they are made, what facility they are made at, and can identify the operator/s that were working at the time that the product was completed. All of this information is then stored by the manufacturer to aid in the lifecycle of the product.

Before the day of dot peen marking systems, manufacturers used labels that would fall off of products. Or, the print would wear off of the labels. Sometimes, these labels were hard to affix properly to the product.
