The challenges for medical technology companies in connection with UDI are still on the rise. Companies therefore need to make strategic decisions shortly to optimize their UDI process, especially regarding its digitization. After all, the next MDR implementation deadline is approaching: UDI direct part marking becomes mandatory for class III products as of May 2023.
FOBA Laser Marking + Engraving is taking part in a new presentation format at "MedtecLIVE with T4M" (Stuttgart, May 3 - 5, 2022). For the first time in this form, several partner companies will set up a production line in the exhibition hall. FOBA will demonstrate laser direct marking as part of the value chain of a medical product.
In a recent webinar, laser marking system provider FOBA presented various technical solutions for the automation of an industrial laser marking process. Such solutions include laser integrated software features, semi or fully automated robot-assisted operation, product-dedicated marking units as well as marking-on-the-fly processes.
Minimum space requirement, maximum marking quality – FOBA will demonstrate these and more benefits of the world's smallest laser marking head Titus during the electronics trade show Productronica from November 16 to 19, 2021. Latest marking software developments as well as solutions for the automation of the marking process are further key topics at the FOBA booth no. B2.207.
Customized automation solutions from visual process control to robotic parts handling: Automation of laser marking can help manage increasing marking requirements and save costs in the production process. Especially in the context of increasing traceability marking regulations, the direct part marking is on the rise. Therefore, FOBA, in cooperation with automation experts, offers technical solutions that make the marking process more efficient for industrial customers. How this is implemented differs individually.
