ID Integration President and Chairman of the UID Supplier Alliance, Mr. Gary Moe believes in the many benefits of the UID marking guidelines, as detailed in MIL-STD-129. The concept of marking and coding products has spread throughout U.S. industry and other parts of the world. Today, there just about every successful manufacturer has some practices in place for unique identification marking of parts and products as well as traceability throughout distribution channels for the life of most products.
Basically, MIL-STD-129 is not rocket science. However, it's not exactly simple either. These guidelines spell out the adopted standards or rules that need to be followed while marking an item that supplied to the United States, Department of Defense (DoD). These standards were introduced by the DoD in July of 2003 and continue to remain in force to date.
