Marking and Traceability Systems for Parts That Have to Pass.

You've been handed a print, a material, and a standard you have to mark to. We build the marking and traceability systems that get it right and keep it readable for the life of the part, from the people who help write the standards for those parts.

The Marking Spectrum

Five Ways To Put a Permanent Mark on a Part. One Way to Prove It's Right.

Every part has a right method — governed by substrate, depth, throughput and the standard it must satisfy. We engineer all six in-house, so the recommendation is never biased toward stock.

When Something Goes Wrong, You Talk to a Person,Not a Ticket Queue

Every machine has a bad day. What separates us from our marking companies is what happens next.

When you call, you reach the people who build and program your system, and a real answer comes back fast, not into an abyss where you're left wondering if anyone read your email. It's the reason customers come back for their next machine, and the one after that.

About Us

With Monode, You're Not Buying a Machine
from Someone Reading the Manual

The people who answer your questions are the same people who help write the requirements behind them. Our team are contributing authors on numerous industry standards, and we work inside MIL-STD-130, IUID, AS9132, and Data Matrix quality every day. When a requirement gets murky, you're talking to a source, not a reseller.

We've been family-owned for three generations, building marking equipment since 1956. Six marking methods, one traceability platform we built ourselves, and decades spent on the hard material problems most vendors hand back.
