#KeepCodingSimple

You Wouldn’t Settle for Welding That Wouldn’t Hold Up Right, So Why Settle for Inefficient Part Marking?

Why do Welds Require Traceability Codes? 

Would you believe us if we told you that industries like welding and fabrication require traceability codes as well? While you might be more accustomed to seeing date codes, lot codes, and batch codes on perishable goods, they’re not exclusive to the food and beverage industry; in fact, every industry has their own regulations and specifications that have to be met to ensure the safety of their consumers. According to Weld Trace, “Weld mapping is the process of assigning information to a weld joint for the purpose of production as well as traceability…Weld mapping is also another term for weld tracking or welding traceability.” So, a weld map helps to ensure traceability, but what kind of information can you expect to find? 

Sneed Keeps Coding Simple, So That Wilson-Garner Co. Can Keep Manufacturing Simple

What is the Wilson-Garner Company Known For? 

If you’re new to the world of manufacturing, then maybe the Wilson-Garner Co. doesn’t ring any bells; however, they’ve been around long enough to make a name for themselves in the industry. Wilson-Garner Co. is a family owned company that has more than 70 years of experience manufacturing specialty bolts, screws and studs that you can’t find anywhere else.

It is not the most glamorous part of manufacturing, but it is necessary in many cases. Part marking is the process where manufacturers tag individual parts with information, so if needed, you can easily identify them. In doing so, you can trace the parts back to them for recall or other purposes.

When you live in a world like ours—one where people expect the goods made on one continent to end up on another by the end of the day—it becomes more and more necessary to track every product as it passes down the supply chain pipeline.

Producing high-quality products is always the goal of any business. To achieve that high-quality goal, many different elements of the production line need to be perfected. One element of the production line that you should work to perfect is the coding and marking of the product. For a look at what things to consider for handheld part marking, continue reading the material provided below. Hopefully, it can help you solidify your marking and coding processes in your production line so you can produce high-quality products for your business.
