CanCard Inc. has designed a unique solution to a durable, reliable machine readable DataMatrix code for severe environments. Our customer's needed a quick and economical method using proven technology. The mark not only had to survive harsh environments but be readable after other processes such as heat treating , painting and sandblasting. Speed and reliability were essential and important considerations for any of our assembly line customers.

With CanCard's 20 years experience in providing embossers for the automotive, steel fabricator and aerospace industries, we knew we had a durable proven method of producing a permanent mark without going to the expense of incorporating a laser. The DataMatrix code had become the industrial standard for a durable 2D code. Our solution was to combine the DataMatrix code with the embosser to produce a robust barcode tag that could survive the harsh environments of our clientele.
