Laser marking technology for QR codes on tires enters mass production

4JET Technologies (Alsdorf, Germany) has developed a laser marking solution to individually and durably mark tires with a machine-readable QR code, which is now in mass production for automotive OEMs. Luxury automaker BMW (Munich, Germany) has been fitting its first-volume models with the new technology since the fall of 2018. At the same time, two leading manufacturers of truck tires have chosen to introduce QR codes for new projects that are scheduled to go into mass production in 2019.
