In the existing industrial production process, many products or materials are configured with coding information (such as two-dimension code information), and in the production and sales process, the coding information of the products needs to be identified and corresponding coding labels are printed out to be attached to the products, so that the basic information of the products/logistics and the like can be obtained according to the coding labels on the products.

At present, the code information identification, printing and attaching of a product are mainly performed through manual operation, for example, after an FPC soft flat cable is assembled in the production process of a portable electronic product touch screen, a Panel code (namely two-dimension code information) which is unrecognizable by naked eyes and is left according to the previous procedures is required to be posted and printed on the FPC flat cable, a clearly visible corresponding two-dimension code label is printed, wherein the procedure of Panel code identification is mainly performed manually, and the feeding state is irregular and disordered, so that the inconvenience of manual operation is increased and the working efficiency is reduced; meanwhile, the code label needs to be accurately posted at a designated position after being printed, the condition that the code is printed poorly and the code is posted poorly occasionally in the process, the code label needs to be picked out, the code label cannot flow into the next process, and at present poor inspection and picking-out sorting are also mainly carried out manually, so that the efficiency is low. Specifically, an operator takes out the portable electronic product touch screen product assembled with the FPC flexible flat cable from the assembly line, places the portable electronic product touch screen product under the reading of a special code reader, automatically transmits the read panel code into a control computer, then transmits the panel code data to a special printer for coding, the special printer for coding prints out the coding, the operator tears off the coding label on the printer, pastes the coding label on the FPC flexible flat cable of the product, then arranges special persons and equipment for detection after the sticking is finished, places the touch screen product on a machine table of a later procedure after the detection is qualified, and places the unqualified product on a special position.

The above process has the following disadvantages:

1) The error is easy to occur, and in the process of manually reading and posting, the error is very easy to occur, so that the panel codes and codes cannot be in one-to-one correspondence, and the process is unacceptable in production.

2) The posting position is inaccurate, because the posting is purely manual, the position accuracy of the posting cannot be guaranteed, and the position in the post-process processing equipment is inaccurate.

3) The manual operation speed is slow, a large number of people need to be arranged in the process Cheng Gongwei to meet the production time, responsibility of the people needs to be thinned to ensure the accuracy, and one process has a plurality of different stations to work separately and does not meet the requirement of automatic production planning.

Therefore, the code information identification, printing and attaching of the existing products are mainly performed manually, so that the efficiency is low, and the error attaching rate and the attaching reject rate are high, and the code information identification, printing and attaching of the existing products are required to be improved.
