Hi Arthur,
I assume you already have some kind of production test in place (see link), or at least you should have in the future.
It should be rather simple to incorporate one step where you read out the IMEI and then print that number out.

Best regards,
Martin L.

Hi Martin, are you willing to share this test firmware / source code that does exactly what you mentioned below? We also are trying to do the exact same thing to print the label / box kit.

In our kit production, there is a test firmware that reads out the IMEI and sends that to a test PC which writes out a label which is then attached to the box and the kit.

(Also attaching the Production Programming application note).

Therefore, there is a problem. When we use nrf9160 to mass produce products, how can I get the IMEI number of each product and display it on the box? It is obviously unreasonable to read IMEI number by manual instruction of a product by product through at command.

Hi Duxingland,
IMEI number is readable for the nrf9160, but cannot be modified.

it can be read out by e.g. the AT command AT+CGSN

Just follow the instructions here
