Well implemented IUID / UID can be used for advanced life cycle tracking.  It can provide users with an easy portal to access part specific data useable for a wide variety of information:

• Full traceability of components and assemblies back to points of origin and raw material lots (forensic level)
• Component level recall capabilities
• Life cycle durability assessments
• Repair and maintenance analysis
• Safety data
• Performance data
• Reliability measurements

A new white paper from Aptus Global is available detailing the expansion abilities available with the IUID / UID standard MIL-STD-130N.  This paper explores the ability of the IUID / UID to provide added value to both suppliers and the DoD through well executed IUID / UID. 
A case in point example of Armor Tracking & Traceability is used to illustrate some of the value available.
