Laser marking helps reduce losses (Jan 26, 2010)

An electronics manufacturer previously experienced several hundred thousand dollars a year in losses when incorrect parts were added to, and/or the wrong operations were performed, on assemblies. The difficulty in tracking assemblies made it necessary to keep more than the desired amount of work-in-process (WIP) inventory. And, a limited amount of space on some of the assemblies made marking the parts a challenge.
