Each Nedap product displays its production date, either integrated into the serial number or engraved as a distinct code on tags and cards.
For instance, consider a product with the following serial number: P629 B01 012. In this example:
- The initial four characters (P629) denote the production date.
- The subsequent segment (B01) signifies the revision number of the product.
- The concluding part (012) represents the production number assigned to that specific day.
Production date (P629):
