UID scanners are helpful in reading and verifying data matrix labels. New technologies involved with these scanners perform tasks that once required separate machinery or outsourcing. The potentially time consuming task of scanning, decoding, verifying, and detecting flaws in UID labels is simplified vastly when using UID scanners.
MIL-STD-130N Compliance
MIL-STD-130N is a document containing the current specifications from the United States Department of Defense. Two-dimensional data labels are required for many items owned by the United States military. These labels must follow those specifications for UID compliance.

The MIL-STD-130N is a long set of specifications. It regulates things like the placement of symbols, as well as, the type and amount of human readable information required. Due to the length and frequent updates of these specifications, a person could have a difficult time catching the flaws in a data symbol.
The Need for UID Scanners
UID Scanners are important because, like some bar code scanners, they are capable of reading both two-dimensional data labels and one-dimensional bar codes. However, UID scanners can communicate to a network. This could be helpful in the attempt to track and maintain inventory for both newer and older items. These scanners can also insure MIL-STD-130N compliance by verifying that the data label meets those specifications.
Features of UID Scanners
UID scanners have an imaging ability that bar code scanners do not. This allows the operator to obtain a more accurate reading of the label. These scanners are available in both fixed and hand held varieties. The hand held type can have a cord that plugs in, or be completely wireless. These features allow for the use of UID scanners on large objects or in remote areas.
UID scanners are a practical tool for working with MIL-STD-130 compliant labels. Technologies used in these scanners simplify finding flaws in a two-dimensional matrix. Many of these features were unavailable in older bar code scanners. For more information regarding UID scanners, refer to the experts at ID-Integration.
