Case Study From Labels to Lasers: Lenovo's Journey to a New Marking Technology

What started as a search for an alternative to labels led Lenovo to a new approach to marking. The result: lower scrap, faster cycle times, and a solution now being adopted at additional sites.

For many years, Lenovo relied on large-format labels for marking server housings. However, the process was labor-intensive, error-prone, and costly.

The company began searching for a better solution. But which technology could optimize the process? How can complex marking content be applied permanently, corrosion-resistant, and within extremely short cycle times on galvanized metal surfaces?

Lenovo found the answer. Today, the parts are marked faster than originally required, with high process reliability, productivity, and sustainability.
