Identifying devices by serial number in transport

Plan your transport

Clarify which number should be visible on the outside of the package and who confirms it is correct. Your internal list may combine several IDs, such as the manufacturer’s serial number and your own inventory number; only the allocation needed for the process is passed on. For exchange devices, this structure tracks original and replacement as two separate items throughout the process.

From rating plate to package label

The serial number is on the device, but after packing only the package is visible. That is why the link between the two belongs on an external label and in the packing list: package 2/4 – serial number XY – inventory number Z. Collection, transport and recipient all use the same list.

Documented handover

At handover, the recipient checks the packages against the list and confirms receipt. Discrepancies, such as a missing package or visible damage to the packaging, are noted directly at handover. This makes it traceable for everyone involved which unit was handed over to whom and when.

What matters

Link the individual ID to the package reference
Have the person responsible for the device confirm accuracy
Keep original and replacement as separate lines in the list

Good to know

Plan your transport

What if the serial number is hidden after packing?

Record the allocation before packing and transfer it to an external package label, for example showing serial number and package number. The recipient receives the same overview and can identify the unit at handover without opening the packaging.

Transport solutions

01

Transporting matched component sets together

Paired bearings, lapped fitting parts or a complete assembly kit only have value together – if one part is missing, assembly stops. We transport matched component sets as one consignment, even if the components come from different areas of your plant and are only brought together for shipping.

02

Moving populated electronic assemblies between manufacturers

Populated circuit boards and electronic assemblies travel between EMS provider, testing and final assembly – often in several revisions and batches at once. We transport your assemblies in the packaging specified by your department, for example ESD-safe in trays or cartons, and keep revision, batch and container clearly assigned from collection to handover.

03

Splitting similar devices between different recipients

When several identical devices go to different plants, labs or customers, the allocation decides whether the handover runs smoothly. We deliver each unit to the right recipient – based on a shipping overview that clearly links device ID, destination and package, regardless of how similar the packaging looks.
