Data Matrix (DMX) Part Marking
Infineon Technologies as a part of the electronic industry is making gains by using Data
Matrix part marking to transform the way of tracing HybridPACK
TM
products, both through the
manufacturing process, and throughout the entire life of that product or component. Total
traceability means dramatic improvements to process and quality control.
Data Matrix is a two-dimensional code which is machine readable with conventional 2D
reader or scanner. The readers are capable of reading low contrast marks, damaged codes
and even codes on severely compromised surfaces. On the picture below the side view of
HybridPACK
TM
2 is depicted. From this picture the marking of the module can be seen
together with the Data Matrix (DMX) - Code, Date Code and the Serial Nr.
