Technical Seminars for DoD Suppliers
Radio Frequency Identification (RFID)
Wednesday January 26, 2005 - $175
Unique Identification (UID) - optional half-day
Tuesday January 25, 2005 - $225 (includes RFID)
Productivity by RFID has partnered with The National Defense Industrial Association (NDIA), the Defense Acquisition University and other elements of the Department of Defense, members of defense industry, and a variety of UID/RFID vendors to present a UID/RFID Seminar on January 25 and 26, 2005. The half day UID and full-day RFID seminars are being presented at the Hilton Huntsville, in Huntsville, AL.
The National Defense Industrial Association (NDIA) and the Defense Acquisition University (DAU) are undertaking a broad campaign to ensure that defense industry suppliers are aware of their responsibilities associated with two recent mandates issued from OSD, AT&L. It is estimated that over 43,000 DoD suppliers are impacted by the recent mandates for Unique Identification (UID) and Radio Frequency Identification (RFID). UID/RFID Seminars are being scheduled at various dates and venues across the U.S. in an effort to ensure that defense industry companies and their supply chains are aware of the new requirements and the associated implementation timelines.
Overview
Key 2003 Defense Department initiatives that directly affect the defense and aerospace industry are the Policy for the Unique Identification of Tangible Items (UID) and the Policy for use of Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) within the Department of Defense.
Mandatory incorporation of UID for solicitations released after 1 January 2004 is but the beginning of a long- term effort that will facilitate item tracking in DoD business systems. UID implementation will provide reliable and accurate data for management, financial, and asset management systems as well as data to support engineering, logistics, and operational analysis.
The RFID strategy calls for taking maximum advantage of the inherent life-cycle asset management efficiencies that can be realized with integration of RFID throughout DoD.
Leveraging this technology will improve DoDs ability to get the warfighter the right materiel, at the right time, and in the right condition.
At this UID/RFID Seminar DoD officials will explain those UID and RFID policies in detail. Defense industry representatives will describe how they are implementing the newly mandated procedures, identify the impacts of the new policies to their business models and procedures, discuss the challenges encountered and solutions sought, and address the impacts of their implementation strategy on their suppliers, large and small. Marking and reading vendors will be available to present technologies available on the commercial marketplace that meet DoD requirements.
