how identification supports traceability & compliance
A serialized nameplate or barcoded decal connects each unit to its part number, batch and service history. This helps support warranty tracking, recalls, asset management and audits.
NPI can integrate serial numbers, barcodes and QR codes into your product identification, along with ratings, country-of-origin information and required regulatory markings.
