USCG ARSC Marking Program
Monode marks 500 safety critical parts for the USCG
Challenge - Onsite marking of flight critical parts by the Monode Marking team and an engineer from the manufacturer with the 2D Datamatrix ECC 200 for traceability. This was done with two basic varieties of parts:
- In-place (installed) components
- Painted fuselage, structural, and mechanical components
- Removed components
- Selected exterior engine components, including rotors, gears, ect.
Results - The following was accomplished:
- The world's first handheld laser marker was created and used
- All parts were marked successfully
- A mark enhancement kit and methodology was invented for 2D marks
- The first mobile marking platform using the same software to run multiple technologies was deployed
- This project was one of the case studies used to lay the foundation of the IUID program for the DoD
