Precision laser marking,
smart camera-validated flow.
In the project implemented at Borgwarner's factory in Izmir ESBAS Free Zone, individual laser marking and traceability of each produced product were aimed.
Individual traceability in the automotive supply industry
Borgwarner's factory in Izmir ESBAS Free Zone produces for the automotive supply industry. In the project implemented at this factory, individual laser marking and traceability of each produced product were aimed.
Automatic execution of marking accuracy and database integration is of great importance for maintaining quality processes.
Separate steps and traceability gap risk
Each produced part had to be marked with a unique serial number, ensuring marking accuracy and transmitting the traceability data to the central system. Marking and verification progressing as separate, uncoupled steps carried the risk of incorrect or unreadable codes and gaps in traceability.
- 01Unreadable Code RiskInability to instantly detect unreadable or incorrect code printing caused by laser power or surface roughness.
- 02Process DisconnectionLoss of labor and time resulting from separate execution of marking and camera verification steps.
Oracle integrated 3-axis automatic marking cell
A laser marking machine supporting marking and identification processes was developed for Borgwarner. The machine was designed with 3-axis motion capability to adapt to different products. The system was integrated with Oracle to retrieve serial numbers to print. Following marking, code content, grade, and position verifications were automatically performed via camera, with approval data for valid parts sent back to Oracle.
Serial Retrieval
The system pulls the unique serial number to print from the Oracle database in real time.
3-Axis Marking
The laser, moving via the servo axis structure, marks the part at the designated position.
Camera Verification
The camera scans the printed code's content, quality grade, and position.
Oracle Approval
The approval info of verified parts is recorded back to the Oracle database.
Mechanical design and control infrastructure
Laser Marking Device
Laser unit performing permanent, high-resolution marking on metal surfaces.
3-Axis Servo Motion
Servo axis mechanism positioning the laser head according to different product geometries.
Camera-Based Control
Vision system instantly measuring the content and print quality grade of marked 2D codes.
OnSuite Trace Platform
Main platform managing Oracle integration, SCADA processes, and traceability steps.
Bi-directional Data Flow with Oracle ERP
The system operates bi-directionally integrated with Oracle: serial numbers are retrieved from Oracle, and after marking and inspection, the approval data for suitable parts are sent back to Oracle.
High reliability part traceability
Individual Part Tracking
Each produced part is tracked individually in the database with its laser code.
Faulty Code Prevention
Automatic camera verification prevented the release of parts with incorrect, incomplete, or unreadable codes.
Single-Flow Management
Marking and inspection processes are unified in a single machine, optimizing cycle times.
