Industrial Sector Overview

The extreme environments, stringent regulations and varied substrates involved in industrial sector manufacturing means coding and marking can be a challenge, requiring dedicated high-performance technologies and solutions. In Cable & Wire, clear, durable codes are crucial for high-temperature extruded materials like rubber, PVC and many more, while Building & Construction demands markings that must endure harsh conditions and heavy wear. For Automotive & Aerospace, precision and resilience on heat-resistant components are critical, while Electronics need permanent, accurate, and often serialised coding on delicate parts. Chemicals & Agriculture rely on markings that withstand exposure to moisture, chemicals, and irregular surfaces, ensuring traceability and compliance.

When manufacturing automotive components, you need a coding solution that ensures durability and precision on tough materials like metal and plastic, even under fast production conditions. Domino’s laser and inkjet printers are designed to create reliable, high-quality text, graphics, and 2D Data Matrix codes, ensuring that every part is clearly marked and compliant.

Our fibre Laser coders offer precision marking, adjustable to suit various automotive materials. They are energy-efficient and provide high performance without the regular consumable costs of ink-based technologies. Like our lasers, our continuous inkjet printers (which feature robust i-Pulse inks) are engineered to withstand harsh production environments. For temporary markings, we also offer water-washable inks. Compact and modular, our printers save space while integrating seamlessly with existing production lines, making them ideal for the automotive industry's evolving needs.

Marking electronic components like LCD screens, circuit boards, and chips with accurate, durable codes is essential for meeting regulatory standards and providing critical product information. Domino’s continuous and thermal Inkjet printing solutions offer precise, long-lasting text, graphics, and 2D codes on even very small, tough surfaces. Designed for high-performance, our printers use specialized inks that provide strong adhesion and withstand post-production processes, ensuring codes remain legible over time. With compact designs, these printers integrate into existing production lines without adding significant costs or complexity. Whether you're printing on delicate screens or rugged circuit boards, Domino’s technology delivers reliable, high-quality results, ensuring your products meet both industry requirements and branding needs efficiently.

The extrusion process for pipes and profiles requires coding systems that can handle continuous production without causing downtime. Stoppages or line speed changes can result in costly waste, making printer reliability essential for maintaining Overall Equipment Efficiency (OEE). Additionally, they must print high-quality codes on curved surfaces, and the inks need to adhere well, even after post-production treatments.

Domino’s Ax-Series inkjet printers provide reliable coding solutions for extruded plastics, printing clear product codes, meter marks, logos, and more, even on narrow pipes. These high-resolution printers are designed for tough environments, minimizing maintenance and solvent use while ensuring high uptime. With IP66-rated enclosures and fast-drying inks, they can handle high temperatures and deliver high-contrast codes, making them ideal for continuous extrusion processes.

Alternatively, Domino's laser coders print sharp, indelible codes onto different materials like plastic pipes and profiles to support high-speed extrusion lines. They integrate well into tight manufacturing lines using flexible mounting positions or custom installation designs.

Cement and aggregates bagging lines operate in harsh, high-speed environments, requiring printers that can withstand dust and uneven surfaces while delivering clear product codes, batch information, and logos. Any delays due to printer failure can lead to costly production downtime and wasted materials.

Domino's Macrojet printers, based on proven Valve Jet technology, are designed for these extreme conditions. They produce high-quality large-character codes on various bag materials, both porous and non-porous, with minimal maintenance and no need for factory air. For small-character printing, Domino's Ax-Series printers are IP66-rated, ensuring reliability in tough environments, while integrating seamlessly with ERP and MES systems. Additionally, the V-Series Thermal Transfer Overprinters offer high-speed coding for flexible packaging, including logos, QR codes, and traceability data, optimizing production and logistics.

Marking glass is challenging due to wet processes involved in manufacturing, but laser etching provides a permanent solution unaffected by treatments like toughening. Domino’s D-Series laser markers are ideal for marking toughened glass, offering high-speed operation on various shapes and sizes, while meeting industry standards like BSI kitemarks and quality codes. These lasers ensure logos, production data, and QC codes are clear and durable.

Domino also integrates laser systems into automated glass production processes, with IP65-rated designs for harsh environments. For specialized needs, we offer custom solutions, such as mobile glass coding tables, replacing stickers or sandblasting before toughening. Our software ensures seamless traceability, matching batches to frames, recording data for every sheet, and integrating directly with your production line’s PLC for efficient, automated glass marking.

Printing on plasterboard, also known as drywall or gypsum board, presents several challenges due to the demanding production environment. High speeds, hot and dusty conditions, and continuous production leave little room for error. Manufacturers need reliable printing solutions that can withstand these tough conditions while maintaining high standards of quality and accuracy. Clear, durable printing is essential for product identification, compliance, and branding, making print quality a critical aspect of the manufacturing process.

The Domino Cx350i industrial printer addresses these challenges with its high-resolution, large-format printing capabilities. For plasterboard, it excels in printing product information, logos, and compliance codes directly onto the backing paper at speeds of 100-200m/min. It’s also highly effective for printing large manufacturer logos onto stacked pallets, using up to four print heads to cover an area of up to 260mm. Learn more about how we can help you here.

The adoption of 2D codes is revolutionising data accessibility, benefiting consumers, retailers, and brand owners alike. With a global push for 2D code adoption, including GS1's announcement of an official sunrise period starting in 2027, businesses must prepare for this transition. As an active member of the GS1 2D Solutions Group, we provide expert guidance on implementing 2D codes, from concept to production, across various packaging needs.
