Process Transparency
and Traceability for
the Electronics Industry
Electronic components, printed circuit boards, and assemblies go through numerous production, testing, and logistics processes. Unambiguous marking ensures that products and components can be identified at any time and that the associated information can be reliably assigned to them.
Marking poses particular challenges, especially when dealing with small components, complex manufacturing processes, and components that have already been installed. Temperature, mechanical and chemical stresses, as well as limited space, require solutions that are precisely tailored to the respective application.
The Plöckl Media Group develops durable and reliable marking solutions for these applications—ranging from high-temperature labels and RFID to security and tamper-evident labels.
Unique Identification of Components and Assemblies
In electronics manufacturing, printed circuit boards, components, and assemblies go through numerous production and testing steps. Unique identification makes it possible to reliably identify the respective components and unambiguously associate relevant product and manufacturing information with them.
Barcode, 2D code, and RFID solutions support automated data capture and ensure greater transparency within the manufacturing process. For example, production steps can be documented, components can be assigned, and information can be made available throughout the entire manufacturing process.
Depending on the application, the markings must withstand a wide variety of conditions, such as high temperatures during reflow or wave soldering, or long-term stresses after assembly.
Electronics That Can Be Permanently Identified
Electronic products and components may be at high risk of tampering and counterfeiting. Special security and tamper-evident labels help to uniquely identify products and make unauthorized tampering visible.
Depending on the solution, visible and hidden security features can be used. In combination with digital identification and authentication solutions, it is also possible to verify whether a product is indeed the original.
Electronics Identification Throughout the Entire Product Lifecycle
Unique identification offers added value not only during manufacturing and use. Even at the end of the product life cycle, stored product and material information can help uniquely identify components and manage recycling processes more effectively.
In this way, the labeling creates a seamless connection between the product, its information, and the individual stages of its life cycle, from manufacturing to recycling.
Elektronik entlang der Supply Chain verfolgen
Electronic components and products often go through various production, warehousing, and transportation processes.
Unique identification enables reliable assignment and traceability across these individual stages.
RFID and barcode solutions can automatically capture information, thereby supporting transparent movement of goods. From individual components to assemblies to finished electronic products, identifiers can be uniquely assigned and information retrieved as needed.
This creates a seamless link between the physical product and its associated data.
The right marking solution for your electronics application.
Compact components, sophisticated manufacturing processes, and high durability requirements call for reliable marking solutions.

FAQ ABOUT ELEKTROINDUSTRY
Why is unique identification of electronic components important?
Unique identification enables the reliable identification and traceability of components, printed circuit boards, and assemblies. It supports process control, quality assurance, and logistics, and ensures that relevant product information can be clearly assigned.
What labeling solutions are suitable for printed circuit boards?
Different solutions are used depending on the manufacturing process and requirements. Barcode and 2D code labels enable unique identification. PMG offers special high-temperature labels for processes involving high temperatures. RFID labels are available for automated and contactless identification.
Is the label still clearly legible after reflow and wave soldering?
Yes. The PMG HighTemp+ Acid Pro Label was specifically developed for demanding soldering processes. The PMG 3126 is tested and certified for reflow soldering, while the PMG 3171 is tested and certified for both reflow and wave soldering.
What are the advantages of RFID for electronic labeling?
RFID enables automatic identification without direct visual contact. This allows electronic components, assemblies, and products to be quickly recorded and tracked throughout production and logistics processes.
Can electronic components be identified even after they have been installed?
Yes. RFID tags can also be used on components that have already been installed. This allows, for example, electronic components in vehicles, machines, or technical systems to be identified over the long term and used for maintenance, service, or traceability.
