Laser marking can be a quicker and more efficient marking process than chemical etching and inkjet printing. Chemical etching requires many steps that can last days, and laser marking happens instantaneously. Inkjet printing/labeling has consumables and replacement parts that can slow down the process and often lead to downtime—laser marking technology does not.

There are a myriad of reasons why businesses are moving towards using fewer consumables. Here are a few of them:
Whatever the reason may be, laser marking technologies are often a viable solution. Laser marking machines use light to directly mark products and do not need any other materials. Because of this, there is no extra maintenance, material, PPE, or toxic waste costs.
In addition to the physical mark withstanding outside conditions, the actual machine has enhanced durability and longevity.
KEYENCE's MD-X, MD-U, and MD-F laser marking machines meet the IP-64 resistance specification. This specification means that water splashing from any direction will have no harmful effect on the machine's use and there will be no ingress of dust, often referred to as dustproof and water resistant.
KEYENCE's MD-X, MD-U, MD-F, and MD-T laser marking machines all have built-in thermopile power monitors.
The thermopile power monitor is an aspect of the laser marking technology that acts as a predictive maintenance tool by measuring the output power of the laser to detect any drops in power over time.
The predictive maintenance will then give a warning about possible malfunctions so that you can proactively fix them before it affects manufacturing processes.
As of , the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) requires all medical devices (besides Class I devices) to display a unique device identification (UDI). The UDI must be readable by machines and humans and contain identifiers like serial, batch number, expiration date, and manufacturing date. Since UDIs store a lot of information on a small device, many businesses choose to use 2D codes.
If you're in the medical sector, incorporating a laser marking system is a sure way to stay in compliance with traceability standards. KEYENCE's laser marking machines outperform alternatives like stamping, labeling, and chemical etching. Laser marking machines can mark the non-geometric shapes of medical devices and do not ever rub off for accidental contamination. These laser marking machines also mark the most common device material, stainless steel.
IPC- requires electronic devices to have traceability about product ID/label, documentation/record keeping, and data exchange/sharing. 2D codes by laser marking machines store over 1,000 characters for the amount of information. Additionally, laser marking machines can mark microscopically yet clearly on small electronic semiconductors. Since laser marking doesn't use force, these fragile materials can be marked without impacting the structural integrity of the part.

Shot blasting is known for creating a perfect finish while covering traceability marks, which is frustrating when you have to redo the mark.
Laser marking technology can mark the 2D codes to be shot blast resistant. By deep engraving the 2D code the depth of the mark will outlast any shot blasting and still be readable afterwards to keep traceability intact.
Laser marking is the solution of choice for reliable traceability applications in modern industrial environments, where permanent, indelible, reliable marking results are mandatory.
Industrial laser markers can be easily integrated into new or existing traceability infrastructures. They can interact with your Manufacturing Execution System (MES) or ERP platforms allowing for more flexible, less expensive, and faster manufacturing. If your production needs versatility, Datalogic laser markers will take you to the next level, with format changeovers in unbeatable time, seamlessly from mass production to size one.
Thanks to a wide and comprehensive product portfolio of laser marking solutions, Datalogic can offer a solution for virtually any Direct Part Marking (DPM) application on a wide variety of materials, including metals, resin, thermoplastic, silicon, glass, and ceramic. Datalogic also offers solutions for marking organic materials such as wood, cardboard, leather, and produce. Depending on the materials to mark, there is a wide range of Laser Marking technologies to use: Fiber, DPSS, CO2, UV, Green, among many others. The source of the laser makes a big difference on the quality of the mark depending on the material that is being marked, and Datalogic can provide all needed advice and solutions in that regard.
One of the unique advantages of laser marking is the ability to modify and adapt their interaction with the substrate material. This creates an exceptional combination of capabilities and features that make this solution one of the most flexible on the market.
Common applications for laser marking scanners include:
Laser markers offer several advantages compared to other marking technologies. The benefits span from lower TCO (Total Cost of Ownership) to easy and quick setup, reduced noise level, support for common fieldbuses, personalization capabilities and effective reliable long-lasting code, and graphics marking on the most diffused materials. The portfolio completeness allows Datalogic to find the best solution for your application with the best price/performance ratio on the market.
