Canadian scientist’s mission: Barcode every single species on earth

Automatic Identification Systems (AIS) expanded its Scanalyst 3 family to include DPM (Direct Parts Marking). DPM is a marking technology using laser or peening to create a permanent 2D barcode right on the part. There is no label or package required with DPM and the mark is useful through the life of the product.  The identifying mark is actually part of the product. These features make it the method of choice for healthcare, defense and manufacturing identification and traceability requirements.
