The traceability of electrical boards

The traceability represents the identity card of an eletrical board. It contains all the relevant information about the product. It permits to know where, when and who have manufactured a specific electrical board. It allows you to know the stages of processing and the related times, the technician who performed the operation and the constraction notes. In the last years the production chains of electronic assemblies have become increasingly complex, therefore it is increasingly important to keep track of the entire production process to have the complete history of each electronic board available.

Thanks to the traceability process, each electronic card is easily identified by a Data Matrix code, similar to the Qrcode. It contains the production batch, unique serial number or unique serial number of the panel, in case multiple cards are joined together. Thanks to this data it is possible to accurately trace a specific electrical card, when the need for a replacement occurs.

In the case of a request for verification by the customer, traceability allows the manufacturer to confirm the quality of the product he has made. You can easily test which components have been mounted on the circuit board and demonstrate that they comply with the project specifications.
In addition, if there are process defects, the traceability system allows you to isolate individual components, verify the problem and limit production risks. From a preventive point of view, traceability makes it possible to identify possible defects in advance, reducing costs.
