As today’s supply chains grow more complex, global regulations become tighter. To deal with these shifts, manufacturers are adopting modern traceability systems that improve visibility while reducing compliance costs by as much as 20-30%. As supplier networks expand across continents and trade regulations are constantly evolving, maintaining compliance has become one of the most daunting […]
The manufacturing landscape is evolving faster than ever — and industrial traceability is at the center of that transformation. As supply chains become more complex, manufacturers are adopting advanced technologies to track, authenticate, and verify products throughout their entire lifecycle. Modern traceability systems go far beyond basic part marking. With the rise of laser marking […]
Selecting the right laser for part marking isn’t just about getting in on the latest technology, it’s also crucial to match the right laser type to your material. Metals, plastics, ceramics, and organics all respond differently to laser wavelengths, so picking the wrong laser can lead to poor markings or even compliance risks. Your material […]

A product is only as traceable as its mark. If a QR code won’t scan properly or a serial number fades, it can disrupt production, delay shipments, or lead to regulatory issues. With stricter compliance standards and more complex supply chains, we are seeing new challenges in part and product marking that must be addressed […]
Traceability is no longer just a precautionary tactic in manufacturing – it is now an expectation. A unique ID marked on every item ensures products can be traced back through the supply chain, from inception to final assembly. As regulatory mandates become stricter, and counterfeiting becomes more of a threat, manufacturers need highly reliable and […]
When manufacturers need durable, high-quality marks without the noise and heat of other marking methods, scribe marking can be an excellent alternative. While not as prevalent as laser and dot peen marking systems, scribe marking technology is often chosen by manufacturers who seek smooth, quiet operation, and deep aesthetic marks, especially on metals. In this […]
Protect products from counterfeiting, gray-market diversion, and compliance risks with traceability and serialization. Learn how MECCO’s laser marking technologies ensure secure, permanent part identification across industries.
Incorporating traceability into your manufacturing process can be overwhelming, but it doesn’t have to be. To find the best marking solution, all you need to know is your material and your application, to find the best option to fit your needs.
