VIN marker: the new obligation in digital vehicle identity
As vehicles become digital platforms, the VIN marker becomes their key
(PresseBox) - In modern automotive production, the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) is required by law and is also essential for traceability, lifecycle management and digital services. The demand for precision, durability and integration is increasing, as is the importance of laser-based marking systems.
Trotec relies on fibre laser-based deep engraving with 200 W of power to achieve a marking depth of 0.3–0.5 mm, which is ideal for steel and aluminium chassis. The engraving process is contactless and vibration-free, with a repeat accuracy of ±5 µm. Thanks to the SafetyCone accessory, this process can be safely implemented in open production environments.
VIN marking is mandatory in accordance with ISO 3779 and ISO 4030. As supply chains become increasingly digitalised and digital twins are introduced, the laser for VIN engraving is becoming a key technology for OEMs. According to a McKinsey study, 78% of car manufacturers expect VIN data to be fed directly into predictive maintenance systems in future.
Application example:
In 2024, a German premium manufacturer integrated Trotec VIN markers into its final assembly line. The VIN is automatically engraved on the frame there, with a cycle time of less than 12 seconds per vehicle.
“For our OEM customers, VIN marking is not just a compliance issue, but also a strategic element in the digitalisation of their production processes.”
– Marcus Pätzold, Key Account Manager for the Automotive Sector at Trotec Laser Solutions.
But what does this mean for OEMs and suppliers in concrete terms?
OEMs benefit from standardised integration, standard-compliant marking and digital traceability.
Suppliers, meanwhile, receive a scalable solution with high process reliability and aftermarket relevance.
