DPM (Direct Part Marking) is a technology used to permanently mark equipment with codes that can be scanned by DPM barcode readers, employing methods like data matrix and QR codes. Developed to track complex machinery and parts in industries like automotive, military, and aerospace, DPM enhances reliability and minimizes loss of barcodes. Common marking technologies include laser marking, dot peening, and inkjet printing.

Stamping a model
number, business
name, on a piece
of machinery or
metal product
Businesses
required a method
to track each
individual part
Complex
technology &
machinery made
up of hundreds
parts
Automation &
robotics took over
manufacturing &
production
assembly lines
DPM was
developed

DPM

11. 5. WHY USE A
DPM BARCODE?

12. Increase the codes' reliability
Ensure a barcode won't be lost
Take a small piece of a part's surface

13. 6. WHAT ARE THE TECHNOLOGIES
FOR DPM BARCODES?

14. LASER MARKING
Alter the material's
properties through
interaction with a laser beam
=> The most prevalent
method

15. DOT PEENING
Use a metal pin driven into
the material by air pressure,
creating a small indentation
=> Commonly used in
automobile industry

16. INKJET PRINTING
Propel droplets of ink onto a
substrate (paper, plastic)
=> Less durable than other
methods
