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!

This might be an international standard such as the SSCC codes specified by GS1 or...

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...
