rastreabilidad
: rastreabilidad is the ability to trace the history,
application or location of an entity by means of recorded identification.
The word rastreabilidad can refer to :
- the origin of materials or components.
- the history of the processes applied to the product.
- the distribution and installation of a product after delivery .
Registration
: The supplier must have written procedures to identify,
collect, index, reach, classify, store and delete all the information
related to quality. A backup can be written or saved on any
data support.
Batch
: A batch is a quantity of products made or bought
at the same time and under the same conditions.
Unique
Identification : The principle of the identification
system is obviously based on the fact that the identity is
unique.
With the globalisation and increasing world exchanges, a unique number in a
company is not necessarely a unique number on a bigger scale.
To be prepared for this eventuality, the NF EN 1572 standard was written to
avoid the use of a common number. Some measures are being taken to make this
identification independent from the technique of representation.
Data
Matrix Symbol : A two-dimensional array of square
or round cells arranged in contiguous rows and columns. In
certain ECC200 symbols, data regions can be separated by alignment
patterns. The data region is surrounded by a finder pattern
(AIM-Data Matrix).
Density
(Matrix Density) : The number of rows and columns
in a scanned matrix symbol.
Direct
Part Marking : Marking applied direct to a parts
surface using intrusive or non-intrusive identification techniques.
Dot
: A localized region with a reflectance which differs
from that of the surrounding surface.
Error
Checking (ECC) And Correction : Mathematical techniques
used to identify symbol damage and reconstruct the original
information, based upon the remaining data in a damaged or
poorly printed code. Reed Solomon and convolution are two such
techniques.
Human-Readable
Identification : The letters, digits or other characters
associated with specific symbol characters that are incorporated
into linear bar code or two-dimensional symbols.
Intrusive
Marking : Any device designed to alter a material
surface to form a human or machine readable symbol. This marking
category includes, but is not limited to, devices that abrade,
burn, corrode, cut, deform, dissolve, etch, melt, oxidize,
or vaporize a material surface.
License
tag number : The information contained with the
symbol character set to uniquely identify the component. As
a minimum the information shall contain the manufacturers CAGE
code followed by an asterisk (ASCII separator) and trace code
(lot, member or serial number).
Mark
: Refers to a Data Matrix symbol that has been applied
to a material surface using a permanent marking method.
Non-intrusive
Marking : A method of forming markings by adding
material to a surface. Non-intrusive marking methods include
ink jet, laser bonding, liquid metal jet, silk screen, stencil
and thin film deposition.
Part
Identification Data : Markings used to relate parts
to their design, manufacturing, test, and operationnal histories.
Permanent
Marking : Intrusive or non-intrusive markings designed
to remain legible beyond the normal service life of an item.
Quiet
Zone : Areas of high reflectance (spaces) surrounding
the machine-readable symbol. Quiet zone requirements may be
found in application and symbology specifications. Sometimes
called "Clear Area" or "Margin".
Reader
: Another name for a CCD or CMOS camera configured
to read symbols.
Symbology
: A machine-readable pattern comprised of a quiet
zone, finder pattern, symbol characters (which include special
functions and error detection and/or correction characters)
required by a particulary symbology.
Temporary
Identification : Marking designed to be removed or separated from
items before they reach the end of their life cycle. |
