Recently, QiOVA, a French manufacturer of high-speed laser marking technology, announced that the company has been acquired by Seram, a subsidiary of Neyret Group engaged in luxury accessories and decoration. At present, the specific amount has not been disclosed.
It is reported that Seram has a huge demand for laser marking applications and plans to use QiOVA's programmable multi beam laser technology to efficiently mark various functional or design purposes on materials such as glass, metal (aluminum/zinc alloy/brass, copper, etc.), ceramics, polymers, textiles, wood, and cardboard.
QiOVA's technology, through the use of femtosecond lasers, can provide high contrast labeling effects with excellent accuracy and repeatability. By utilizing specific interactions between light and materials, femtosecond lasers can provide excellent processing rendering effects on the product itself or additional decorations (such as metal plates, leather decorations, etc.).
In addition to adding decorative markings to its products, Seram will also use laser technology to produce QR codes for traceability. These can also be used to integrate digital content into Seram's products without disrupting the user experience.
Neyret Group now has a comprehensive "laser+software" solution, so it can provide customers with a complete set of labeling solutions. It is reported that Seram's new laser function works well with the product tracking software provided by Sansara as a turnkey product labeling/tracking solution.
From the design phase to digital solutions and support, these new end-to-end decoration and tracking solutions take into account all of the customer's industrial requirements throughout the entire project, "SERAM added.
