Off-Site Marking Recommendations
Marking recommendations. We provide support to your engineering organization and make specific marking technology recommendations based on process, material, substrate, safety critical aspects, permanency, readability, cost, and so on. This service is available at our facility for a standard fee for each material type/item.
Premiere Service On-Site
We will provide a three-man team to visit your location and provide all of the marking and consulting services listed above during the period of our engagement.

MONODE’S MOBILE MARKING CART
This shop-hardened cart features a steel welded frame, shock absorbing/locking wheels, steel drawers for tooling and components,
built-in wiring harness for plug in from either end, battery backup and surge protection, industrial computer rack and monitor stands
as well as a plastic mar-resistant top plate for parts up to 1,000 pounds. The net-based communication of TRIAD links to a
wide range commercial database software or into MES (Manufacturing Execution Software) for a total solution to critical parts
tracking. Monode's Mobile Marking Cart includes a portable marking laser and docking station for the
toughest marking requirements. The Monode Ytterbium Fiber laser fused optical system and a shop hardened mechanical design presents
a marking system able operate in a production environment of shock and vibration with the capability to work in ambient conditions of

Monode's TRIAD Marking Software uses a common operator interface for all marking technologies (pin marking, etch, laser, and micro milling) so operators within an organization learn a single set of commands, functions, and processes to apply direct part marks, capture part data, and interface with enterprise data. This eliminates the need to learn different proprietary interfaces for different types, makes, and brands of marking devices. This approach brings control of marking data to the shop floor by including database binding, operator controls/security as well as standard audit formats. It also links others to the data management, quality control, and marking operation. TRIAD incorporates 2D reading and verification into an interface that makes sense and increases productivity on the shop floor. The software takes the next step by allowing XML, DLL and other data binding techniques so the marked information is gathered and seamlessly blended into existing legacy systems. TRIAD is the tool that links enterprise database to manufacturing floor marking equipment to reading and decoding equipment back to network and web based databases
