Verifying Barcodes for Electric Vehicle Track and Trace


Electric vehicle battery production depends on precise tracking from cell to module to pack. Codes must be read and verified at line speed, even when they are marked on curved, reflective, or low contrast surfaces. Zebra's industrial scanning solutions validate data in real-time, linking every item to its manufacturing record to provide end‑to‑end traceability and compliance. This process also reduces rework and recall risk while accelerating audits and downstream quality control.

Accelerate EV battery barcode verification to strengthen track and trace, cut rework, and feed accurate, real-time data across production.

Zebra FS80 Fixed Scanner + ZMIL for Code Reading Automotive EV Battery Cells

Automate barcode verification at EV battery lines

Zebra fixed industrial scanners deliver high read rates on cells, stacks, modules, and packs, even with curved cans, glossy pouch films, protective coverings, or variable label placement. Purpose-built optics and illumination help to set up applications to reliably capture DPM codes. Advanced decode algorithms handle challenging marking methods, low contrast surfaces, and minor damage, while multi-code reading supports serialization and pack verification. Rugged designs with Power over Ethernet (PoE) and industrial protocol connectivity simplify installation and integration into existing programmable logic controllers (PLCs) and automated production environments.

Connect verification data to your systems

Zebra's Aurora Focus code-reading software streamlines setup and data output to seamlessly stream captured data from Zebra fixed industrial scanners to your Manufacturing Execution System (MES), PLC, or Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP). A simple, 3-step workflow makes it easy to set up and deploy code-reading applications with intuitive tools, helping to quickly establish and optimize capture settings, data formatting, GPIO mapping, and PLC communications to support traceability and compliance in automotive supply chains.
