5 Reasons To Attend Our “Demystify DoD Labeling” Seminar
Not sure if you should attend Winco ID's FREE "Demystify DoD Labeling" Seminar? Well, here are 5 good reasons why you should consider joining us on Wednesday, April 7 2010: 1) You are a DoD contractor, or have customers who are, and you must comply with the MIL-STD-129 including RFID, MIL-STD-130 including UID labeling mandates or even both! Many are finding that these mandates are being strictly enforced. 2) You have lots of questions. Whether you are currently under mandate with shipments ready to go, or will be soon, you might be feeling overwhelmed. The rules are many and the details are cumbersome. ...

If so, you will need to comply with MIL-STD-130 including UID labeling, or MIL-STD-129 including RFID labeling or maybe both. This requires a complete understanding of the work flow from getting the labels right to managing the data via WAWF and UID Registry.

Which Barcode?
We are often asked to suggest which barcode is best for a particular application. Sometimes there is no choice. For compliance labeling, for example, the type of barcode to be used is normally specified by the organization concerned. This might be an international standard such as the SSCC codes specified by GS1 or...
[Continue reading: Which Barcode?]Using Vendor Applied Barcodes for Tracking
A guest post by Peter Green of BellHawk Systems. I am a big proponent of “license-plate” tracking (which is the global standard) whereby an item or container has a unique tracking barcode attached, just like the license plate on a car or truck, and then all the other information is stored or transmitted...
