IUID Is More Than Just A Barcode

Although IUID is most simply thought of as a barcode, it is best thought of as a universal reference key.

To be a universal reference keyeveryone must follow several

important rules.

CORONA

WAR FARE CENTERS

Reading & Verifying Marks(Vocabulary Lesson #2)

The vocabulary of IUID distinguishes “reading,” “verifying,” and “validating”

Reading the mark decodes the text in the mark.

Verifying the mark ensures the quality of the mark meets the standards for contrast, squareness, straight edges, etcetera.

Validating the mark makes sure all of the correct ASCII characters that ought to be in the mark are in the mark.

PECM3107 29

CORONA

WAR FARE CENTERSMachine Readable Marks

IUID machine readable marks can…– Save time & money

• During processing• Avoiding error resolution• Avoiding data cleaning• Reconciling separate databases

– Increase data accuracy(…and by logical extension - improve decisions made, based on data)

• Eliminating transcription errors, interpretation errors, and assignment errors

• Providing data redundancy within the mark(minimizes data loss due to wear/damage)

• Eliminating unauthorized re-serialization

– Detect counterfeit parts

The data itself goes through a layer of encoding prior to the symbol

For “ASCII Encoding,” characters 0-127 have 1 added, 101 + 1 = 102

ASCII – Digits optimized 2 : 1, C40 – Uppercase letters optimized 3 : 2,TEXT – Lowercase letters optimized 3 : 2,Base256 – Not optimized 1 : 1,X12 nor EDIFACT used in IUID

This extra complication provides different optimizations

But 102 isn’t an “e”
