Whether in combination with Automated Guided Vehicles (AGVs), skid units, or monorail conveyor systems in the automotive industry, Data Matrix code tapes from Pepperl+Fuchs ensure the highest level of precision and maximum reliability for positioning and track guidance. The polyester laminate code tapes previously used for this purpose are primarily suited for applications that are subject to moderate levels of stress. For this reason, Pepperl+Fuchs has developed a new model for use in harsh industrial environments: metal Data Matrix code bars made of printed aluminum.
