[0003] The existing technology is to apply for the first 8 digits of the IMEI TAC code (Type Allocation Code, which consists of 8 digits and is a code to distinguish product brands and models. The code is allocated by GSMA and its authorized agencies) through the company's MES manufacturing execution system, and then import it into the production database. During production, the production line needs to directly obtain the corresponding IMEI from the MES system, and then print it into a barcode and stick it on the shell as the barcode of this device; write this IMEI number to the device in the subsequent test station, and perform a consistency check on the IMEI number printed on the device and the IMEI number written on the device. This method is suitable for scenarios where there is no IMEI that needs to be written in the device, and cannot be applied to scenarios where the IMEI comes from a module provided by the supplier.
