- NATO/National Stock Number (NSN) is a
codification tool for identifying items that meet
a set of capabilities but does not differentiate
among those individual items- RFID primarily
focused on Packaging for In-transit and storage

Unique Item Identification - Enabling
individual item visibility by going beyond
codification

• UII Raises the Bar to intensive identification,
  tracking and management throughout the lifecycle
  of each item
• UII uses machine-readable, globally unique item
  identifiers and integrates three primary
  processes
• Comprehensive use of UII facilitates the
  assessment of an assets location and status with
  respect to its maintenance plan and the
  consolidation of this information for logistics
  analysis
• An automated means of marking and identifying
  equipment items such that manual entry of the
  commonly used equipment identifiers is
  eliminated, where possible
• The ability to electronically exchange data
  bi-directionally across disparate organizations
  and systems.

IUID It All Starts With a Part Mark!
In todays world, many items we buy have
identification on them that indicate the
manufacturer or distributor of the product and
the product type (e.g., 12oz can of Coca-Cola
Classic)
Two identical cans of Coke from the same bottling
plant will show the same data on the Universal
Product Code (UPC)
Some items also have a serial number that
differentiates one item from another identical
item (e.g., the 24th engine off the assembly line
is different from the 1024th)
Serial numbers are unique, but not outside of
their enterprise the serial number assigned by
XYZ Manufacturer could be the same as one
assigned by ABC Company
By combining enterprise identification, item
class and serialization, a globally unique item
identifier is created that differentiates every
item from other items
Each item has its own globally unique identifier
(UII)

UII How is it Constructed?
The UII shall be derived from its discrete
component data elements the concatenated UII is
not required in the mark as a separate data
element
From the Data Matrix
The UII can be derived using the IAC for CAGE,
which is D
