Enter UID Marking with a CNC Engraving Machine That’s Rugged, Flexible & Efficient.

The UID or Unique IDentification program is a mandate by the Department of Defense (DOD) that calls for specified “tangible assets” to be marked so that they can be tracked through their “useful” life. Therefore, there has been a rise in the need for marked tags and nameplates made from metals and plastics.

Specifically, manufacturers producing equipment purchased by the United States Government meeting a certain criteria will need to mark their products for UID compliance. Those criteria are as follows:

>Costs over $5,000
>Serially managed
>Mission essential
>Controlled inventory
>Consumable item or material where permanent identification is necessary
