TRACEABILITY

Product traceability is the process of identifying and tracking products through a supply chain. It consists in logging manufacturing information in a database and following products at every step. This information is used to minimize the cost of product recalls, fight counterfeiting, control quality, and optimize production processes.

Roll-fast offers laser solutions that consistently create high-contrast and permanent marks to make sure product identification is optimal.

Right from the start when we assign the raw material with a number after doing checks on them, we have strict control measures with the help of which we can trace the fastener back to the original heat number.

During inspection or dispatch on the behest of the customer we can also arrange for PMI ( Positive material identification ) tests for the manufactured material.

Why is Product Traceability Important?

Traceability has three key benefits; it increases supply chain visibility, improves quality control systems and reduces risk. By keeping a record of the entire production and distribution history, suppliers are able to react quickly to any issues. We do marking on our every products with unique batch number so we can find all details after 10 years or more from the traceability number.

Laser Marking: The Perfect Solution for Part Traceability

When traceability is mandatory, parts must be scrapped if codes can’t be read. Laser marking provides the best readability rates, which results in a higher return on investment.

To achieve the best readability, our Laser machines offer permanent marks, high contrasts, and reliability.

Here’s why each factor helps with readability and part traceability.

PERMANENT MARKS

When it comes to direct part marking, a permanent mark is a mark that remains readable within the part’s lifecycle.

At Roll-Fast, the laser marking process is adapted to each application to always provide full traceability. For example, stainless steel Fasteners can be marked to stay corrosion resistant, as those parts are exposed to highly corrosive acids during their lifetime.

RELIABLE MARKING SYSTEMS

Without a reliable marking technology, the codes’ quality will be inconsistent and decrease over time. Parts with low-quality codes will have to be scrapped to avoid losing trace of them, which affects profitability.

The marking quality of laser systems is consistent because their components don’t deteriorate due to mechanical wear. Laser marking systems have no moving parts, and their components never touch the parts they mark.

HIGH-CONTRAST MARKS

Marks can be hard to read if their dark and light elements are poorly contrasted. There are standard rules for evaluating the quality of 2D codes marked with a direct part marking technology. A high contrast is one of them. By using different energy densities, laser marking can generate high-contrast white marks on a black background, or black marks on a white background.

Dispatch as per prior date

We provide 100% traceability on our products without any exception. At Roll-Fast you can demand any document related to the manufacturing history of the product even after 5 years of supplies. We have them on record !!.

Roll-Fast is able to provide all bolts and nuts with complete traceability of all our bolts, be it in carbon steel, alloy steel or stainless steel. All bolts and nuts when packed are bar coded with the relevant information and the same is kept with us on record for a period of 10 years in our factory. We ensure 100% Bolt batch traceability with the help of a traceability report.
