A good scanner aids in
IUID implementation
The defense department system of using Item Unique Identification (IUID) tags to label individual
pieces of equipment has become a valuable method of tracking assets throughout their lifetime, no
matter where they are located across the globe.
These tags, which are in the form of 2D data matrix
symbols, contain basic identifying information about the item.
As spelled out in the U.
S.
Defense Department’s MIL-STD-130, information contained in the unique
item identifier may include the issuing agency code, enterprise ID, part number and serial number.
An IUID scanner is used to read the code and extract the information.
In addition to containing this basic information, the identifier can be linked to a database that stores
other details about the item, such as its repair and maintenance history.
In that sense, the identifier
is considered a “key” that can unlock important information about a particular asset.
