Traceability
Accurate traceability for maximum
quality, tailor-made for your needs
At wtronic, the importance of traceability is well-known. Depending on the individual wishes of our customers, we adapt our traceability processes to observe the highest quality standards.
Included in our service is marking components by means of QR codes. Each individual component is given its own QR code which, when scanned, not only contains the information about the component itself, but the associated information from the manufacturer as well. Furthermore, the assemblies can be provided with serial numbers/QR codes/labels/lasers, depending on the customer’s requirements, to facilitate the assignment to production batches.
Whether you want each component to be marked individually or prefer marking the PCB as a whole, we can provide traceability adapted to your wishes.
This guarantees a transparent and reliable supply chain as well as optimized quality control for you, our valued customer. At wtronic, it is a point of pride to provide customers with the best of the best: Traceability, responsibility, and superb quality and commitment to ensuring your project launches without a hitch.

Individual labelling for top performance
The first step in our production employs the latest laser technology. Here, each PCB receives a custom label. Regardless of which format you desire – be it Data Matrix, Accord, letters or numbers – our high-tech laser ensures the label is placed with high precision.
Quality solder paste
With the aid of a stencil, the solder paste is applied to the PCB pads. An even application can be guaranteed by using a screen printer with support grid and optical paste monitoring.
Melting point for stable bonding
In the reflow process, we fuse the solder paste by means of individually adjustable temperature zones, depending on the precise melting point for any particular soldering paste. This creates firm bonds between the PCB and the component while avoiding common defects, such as tombstoning.
Control for highest quality
One approach to quality control we offer is the Automated Optical Inspection (AOI). The position, polarity, codes/numbers and the soldering quality of components is checked to ensure no visible defects are present.
Precision to the last cut
With a rotating knife we remove the individual PCBs from the production panel. This prevents damaging the circuit board or any of the components.
Quality made to measure
Finally, the individual function test takes place, during which we determine and document specific values. The test is tailor-made to ensure the PCB operates within the performance parameters set by you. With every PCB assembled, our production strives for perfection.
