Automotive Manufacturing

Production automation, lot tracking, and component traceability are all common requirements for today’s busy automotive assembly plants. 

To remain competitive with their shop floor data tracking and as well as outbound product traceability requirements from manufacturers, many Tier 1-3 automotive suppliers rely on Microscan for their data capture. For stricter control with permanent traceability, Microscan offers Data Matrix verification and symbol quality reports to ensure readability throughout the supply chain.

Common Microscan product solutions include Data Matrix verifiers, MS-800 series scanners, and Quadrus imagers.
