The automotive world will probably look very different in a few years’ time, as electric cars replace diesel and petrol, and car sharing replaces car ownership.
One thing that is unlikely to change, however, is the problem of counterfeiting of spare parts.
So it’s good to know that coding and marking suppliers continue to work on enhancing solutions to counter the counterfeiters – everything from new compact laser coders to advanced formulations for CIJ inks.
The right coding solution can also do a lot more to support the automotive sector. It can play an important role in improving productivity and efficiency on the production line; a reliable printer avoids expensive downtime; and a well-produced code can help to reflect the overall quality and reputation of a product or brand.
