IUIDRegistry is considered as the central storehouse of IUID information. It playsa vital role in the identification of the classification of items that are atthe disposal of the DoD. Further, it also helps the DoD to find out thepreliminary value of the items during their acquisition, acquisition time,rightful custody and the marking process as well.
IUID acts as a universal method of partsidentification. It is the key which assists DoD to locate, control and valueits assets again and again. Although its IUID policy, the Department of Defensehas made it compulsory that all the qualifying items must be marked withtwo-dimensional data matrix which should be encoded with a Unique ItemIdentifier (UID).
UniqueIdentification is a system devised and planned by the Department of Defense to differentiateone object easily from another throughout their life cycle process. IUID has become a critical part ofDoD. IUIDhas been helpful to the DoD in capturing the value of items it buys,controlling these items during their use, and tracking counterfeiting of partsfrom time to time.
Asthe DoD information systems have become more web-savvy, the IUID helps in financial integration,accountability systems, maintenance and lifecycle visibility of the items thatare stored in it. Apart from enhancing the quality of information available formanagement configuration, it will aid in other important matters such asoperational planning, logistics support and systems engineering. In a few words,IUID Registry facilitates jointpaperless management of DoD property.
