New laser codes on PCBs: Better tracking, higher reliability
Content
No more paper labels on PCBs. We are gradually replacing them with laser-marked Data Matrix codes on our products. This change means better product quality for you, more accurate tracking & more reliable product labelling taking less space on the board.
Key details:
| 🟡 | The technology: No more paper labels on the PCB. We are using a permanent, laser-marked code with the serial number instead. |
| 🟡 | What remains: You will still find paper labels on the packaging, the plastic base, and as a tear-off label for installation paperwork. |
| 🟡 | Timeline: We are introducing this change gradually. New products already have it. |
| 🟡 | Our recommendation: To process RMAs quickly in your shop or warehouse, we recommend the Honeywell Xenon 1950g HD scanner. It reads both 1D and 2D codes reliably. |

💡 Installers can use the "Birth Certificate" feature in the MyCOMPANY app to scan the Data Matrix code. This feature displays the product type, numerical serial number (SN), and production batch. It helps if the code is hard to read and the paper label is missing.
