The importance of manufacturer’s plate
The term “manufacturer’s plate” is frequently used in the automotive industry. It allows identifying with certainty a vehicle and ensuring its traceability thanks to a set of data, in particular the serial number of the car and its country of origin. An extremely standardized and regulated sector, the mechanical industry as well as industrial machine parks are obligated to display the manufacturer’s plate. But what exactly is the purpose of the manufacturer’s plate in the industry, and what are the rules to be respected?
Role of the manufacturer's plate in the industry
Just like any vehicle, industrial production machines are also subject to the obligation to display a manufacturer’s plate or ” machine identification plate “. These must ensure quick identification of the machine tools. It shows the type of machine, its serial number, the year of manufacture, its technical data, and the name and address of the company using it. Thus, the builder’s plate is an identity card for industrial products: it guarantees their traceability in case of moving, displacement, sale…
Advanced industrial marking
Industrial machines and production equipment are subject to extreme operating conditions: high temperature, friction, vibration, heat, etc. The information on the machine identification plates must remain visible and legible over time. They must therefore be sufficiently resistant to the above-mentioned constraints. Thus, the designers of manufacturer’s plates and industrial marking techniques have developed several marking methods to meet the needs of companies, including chemical, mechanical, or laser engraving.
