There’s an old saying that says: “Once you’re over the hill, you pick up speed.” UID and RFID are over the hills of doubt and resistance, and indeed they are picking up speed. Compliance has evolved enormously since the concept of tracking serialized assets was first introduced by the Office of the Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition, Technology and Logistics back in 2003. We have seen the DoD and its suppliers go from doubt and resistance, to vague interest, to an understanding of the benefits, to willing participants and co-creators of this methodology for realizing unheard of efficiencies in the military and beyond.

Needless to say there is plenty of expertise to go around here at A2B. So from time to time you will be hearing from me or one of our experts who will keep you posted on relevant UID, RFID and AIT topics.

Our intention is to help you stay abreast of unfolding requirements and understand what they mean to you. We also want you to count on us for data management education. And we also want to assist you in sorting through compliance options, including marking choices and software system considerations.

UID Label and Plate Marking is Picking Up Speed in the Air Force

A2B Tracking - Friday, September 17, 2010

The Air Force AIT PMO has been exceptionally responsive to the challenges of marking legacy equipment throughout the world. Here at A2B we are proud to be in the middle of that effort. Our Air Force part marking teams are currently deployed to 26 bases, with another 221 on the horizon over the next two years. Through the Air Force Enterprise Barcode Service (EBS) we are supplying all required UID labels and plates for this effort, utilizing virtually all available label and plate materials and technologies such as laser etching and photo anodizing.

Here is a summary of the marking effort at Randolph Air Force Base.

In my opinion this level of all-out adoption of MIL STD 130 demonstrates a commitment to excellence that should be emulated.
