Portsmouth, RI (PRWEB) October 31, 2005 -- A2B Tracking Solutions has made its UID Quarterly Fall 2005 newsletter available online at http://www.uidsolutions.com/m/_general/newsletters.asp

UID Quarterly is intended to educate and support the Department of Defense (DoD) and DoD contractors and suppliers who must comply with the DoD unique identification (UID) mandate. UID enables the DoD to identify and track individual tangible assets and tangible property from cradle-to-grave.

”This Fall edition of UID Quarterly spotlights Melton Sales & Service, a small business that has been repairing DoD equipment since 1949 and a winner of the prestigious DoD Quality Excellence Award,” says editor Joan Hacker. “Early UID compliance is viewed as a competitive advantage at Melton. Other small business contractors will benefit from reading their story.”

The Software Solutions column reviews the UID requirement to submit data on legacy and government property in possession of contractors (PIPC) to the UID Registry. Two options are considered: reformatting data for an XML transmission on the one hand and the direct electronic transfer of data on the other.

Tim Pastore, UID Products Specialist from Siemens Energy and Automation, formally RVSI Acuity CiMatrix, is guest Opinion columnist. Tim outlines some of the difficulties of UID verification, with the intent of taking some of the mystery out of the process.

Telesis Technologies is featured in Vendor’s Corner this quarter. Peter Ginkel, Business Development Manager, provides an overview of permanent, computer-controlled marking technologies that fully comply with UID Business Rule 14 - dot peening and laser etching.
