Case Study:Brady Offers Complete Solution for Compliance with the Department of Defense's Unique Identification (UID) Program

From Brady Corporation
 

 

The Department of Defense's UID program features specific labeling protocols. Brady's new system helps users wade through the complicated definitions and requirements to make compliance faster and easier.

The Department of Defense's UID program was launched to improve the management of personal property, real property, personnel, and roles. Essentially, the program is designed to provide the Department of Defense with a flexible tool for asset management, with markings that contain enough specific data to distinguish any given item from any other like or unlike item.

Item Unique Identification (IUID) is part of the UID program that focuses on DoD's personal property. The program calls for labeling of qualifying items with a permanent 2D Data Matrix, which is then encoded with the Unique Item identifier (UII). The UII contains unique data elements, including the enterprise identifier, a serial number, and/or a part number to uniquely identify an item. The UII is then stored in the IUID Registry, which is maintained by the Defense Logistics Information Service.
