Drucken ist zu einem notwendigen Bestandteil der Geschäftswelt und auch unserer privaten Welt geworden. Jeden Tag werden zahlreiche digitale Werke zu Papier gebracht und vervielfältigt. Da macht es doch Sinn, diesen Druckvorgang möglichst sparsam und günstig zu halten. Und wie druckt man sparsam? Sparsam drucken ist ganz einfach. Immer wenn Sie etwas ausdrucken, sollten Sie überlegen, welche Qualität des Ausdrucks notwendig ist. Manche Dokumente müssen in sehr hoher Qualität ausgedruckt werden. Da können Sie kaum oder gar nicht sparsam mit den Druckerpatronen umgehen. Doch wenn Sie ein Dokument drucken möchten, für das nicht die beste Qualität notwendig ist – noch nicht einmal Farbe – dann sollten Sie genau das einstellen, bevor Sie auf „drucken“ klicken. Drucken Sie viel in Schwarz-Weiß, können Sie auch hie und dar auf Farbe umstellen, damit beide Patronen gleichermaßen verbraucht werden. Drucken Sie viel in Farbe, sollten Sie überlegen, ob Sie manche Ausdrucke nicht auch in Schwarz-Weiß bzw. in einer sehr dunklen Farbe drucken können. Das spart Farbtoner. Wenn Sie die Druckqualität runterschrauben, sparen Sie ebenso. Das können Sie eigens einstellen und auf alle Ausdrucke anwenden. Das was Sie heute an Farbe sparen, haben Sie morgen über. Denken Sie mit und sparen Sie! Auch beim Kauf von Patronen können Sie sparen. Aber wie druckt man günstig?
Günstig drucken kann jeder!
Der günstige Druck ist ganz einfach umzusetzen. Manche Patronen sind teurer als andere. Möchten Sie die Druckerpatronen günstig kaufen, sollten Sie auch den passenden Drucker dafür haben. Achten Sie beim Kauf des Druckers nicht auf die Patronenpreise, könnten Sie schnell vor einem Problem stehen. Dann haben Sie womöglich einen sehr günstigen Drucker gekauft, sind aber mit sehr teuren Druckerpatronen konfrontiert. Und dann beginnt das große Problem! Denn Patronen müssen Sie immer wieder nachkaufen. Denken Sie an dieses Problem, bevor der Drucker in Ihrem Einkaufskorb landet.

ATA SPEC and the Aviation Industry Maintenance Program
posted by idintegration on 12.28.2012
in UID Solutions Blog
Automated data collection with barcodes is a part of the aviation product maintenance system. For product security, the ATA (Air Transport Association) emphasizes the importance of product management in the aerospace industry. The Air Transport Association provides extensive details of all requirements in their ATA SPEC standard. These specifications deal with the basic requirements for product marking and barcodes in Chapter 9.
Barcode standard as required by ATA
Two-dimensional codes are commonly used to mark aerospace industrial products. These are high density codes with machine readable data. Apart from 2D data matrix symbology this also permits RFID codes and multiple barcodes for item identification. The use of direct part marking, or DPMI technology, is also allowed. In DPMI technology, 2D codes are directly imprinted on the products’ or parts’ body. Direct part marking is machine-readable and allows a company to track a product throughout its lifetime.
Direct part marking and the ATA standard
Direct part marking includes information and data as specified by ATA SPEC with item- unique identification. Like unique identification, DPMI codes and labels have to include information such as:
• part number
• serial numbers
• types of products
• cost of products
• expiry time of a product
• enterprise identification code
• type of used verifiers
Materials to be used in barcodes
The Air Transport Association allows several types of materials to be used for nameplates. The materials are used for UID marking like aluminum, stainless steel, ceramic, and polyester can be used for DPMI nameplates. However, the material should be substantial to outlast all environmental hazards. In addition, the material should be durable, easy to place on the item, and should be hardy. Like the unique identification marking process, ATA SPEC recommends quality and environmental tests for nameplates and labels.
Importance of the ATA standard
This standard approves the utilization of barcodes. Barcodes are approved and used by important organizations like the U.S. Department of Defense (DOD), the International Aerospace Quality Group (IAQG), and many others. Product marking with labels or DPMI technology is beneficial to track products. This system also offers several other benefits, such as:
• Better consumer service: Using automated data collection is a time saving and convenient method. It allows the authority to easily track products during installation, maintenance, and replacement work. It is time saving because a user can record information instantly with the help of a single scan.
• Barcodes ensure product authenticity. The process also helps to identify data accuracy.
• Standards like ATA and UID are internationally recognized. As such, it increases product accessibility throughout the international market.

IUID labels contain item unique identification data that is required by all contractors manufacturing or distributing products and parts to the United States Department of Defense (DoD). IUID marking has been made mandatory by the Department of Defense to ensure the presence of quality in products, while also ensuring that all assets are fully trackable throughout the U.S. DoD. This particular identification standard has been created to continually track and analyze such items throughout their full lifecycle of use. All labels, or direct-part markings, must work in compliance with the guidelines that have been established by MIL-STD-130. Adhering to these specifications is required for successful government contracts.
services to customers and comply with the most up-to-date requirements established by the Department of Defense policies related to IUID. The Department of Defense has made it mandatory for all government suppliers and contractors who supply defense items to possess IUID markings in order to comply with contracted terms.
There are many requirements to be followed to be accepted by the DoD and some of these requirements are outlined below.
These globally recognized labels must be durable so that they are able to withstand friction, abrasion, chemical reactions, and all types of weather conditions. They must also be fade resistant and anti-counterfeit in nature. Moreover, the labels must be clear and distinct as they include the complete information about the affixed products. Marks and labels must remain legible and durable for the complete lifetime or lifecycle of the product.
Considering the nature of products for which these Department of Defense standardized labels are being used, the substrates used include a variety of materials from aluminum and polyimide to polyester and more. Laser and programmable stylus marking methods are also used in order to make these identification marks durable and resistant to rough conditions.
The Department of Defense has announced specific items that should include labels. According to its mandate, those items must possess a distinct and permanent identification throughout their lifespan. For any IUID service provider it has become essential to stay informed and remain in touch with resources that help them provide the right product with proper specifications.

The IUID Registry Works in Combination with Today’s IUID Compliance Process
posted by idintegration on 12.28.2012
in UID Solutions Blog
As per the Department of Defense (DoD) mandate, it is essential that government contractors comply with IUID rules before shipping their products.
If products do not meet requirements for IUID compliance, they may be subject to rejection. Thus, it becomes necessary for contractors to present required data regarding their contracted items to the IUID Registry. The contractors are bound to submit their data to the IUID Registry, as required by DFARS 252.211-7003 in their DoD contract. It is through this submission of information to the IUID Registry that it becomes easier and faster to track information for continued IUID tracking. Data submission can be completed by the contractors with the application of Wide Area Work Flow (WAWF), through the Global Exchange Service (GEX), or manually at https://www.bpn.gov/iuid/ . The WAWF is the standardized method of submitting this information and several helpful resources are available for those who wish to learn more about this process.
The IUID Registry is maintained by the Defense Logistics Information Service (DLIS) and is currently the authorized location where all relevant data is captured and stored. Typical registry data for each qualifying item includes what an item is, its value, the item’s original owner, and acceptance details, among other important data. The IUID Registry website features a number of informative queries and reports based upon acquisition data and is subject to around 150 validations; including nearly 120 legacy validations, for accuracy. Furthermore, ninety-five percent of this data originates from WAWF data feeds as well as through XML submissions. Overall the use of automatic identification technology throughout these applications has drastically reduced the potential for user errors.
Product IUID labels contain essential information like a product’s manufacturer, serial number and part number. Depending on the nature of these items, labels or markings need to be made in such way that they can withstand tough conditions and constant exposure to friction and weathering. U.S. Department of Defense IUID markings on products are done with various technologies; such as laser marking equipment, programmable indenting systems, ink jet printers, and more. Often, many manufacturers choose to implement IUID verification solutions to improve their compliance efforts internally.

MIL-STD-130 is a standard implemented by the United States Department of Defense (DoD). It maintains full control over the requirements for Item Unique Identification (IUID) and covers relevant information that is associated with this identification and registration process. These guidelines lay down specific rules and procedures that ultimately regulate the purchase, registration, tracking, and distribution of a majority of government products, parts, and other assets. These rules are applicable to all manufacturers and contractors supplying products or parts to many U.S. government and military offices.
Moreover, this protocol established by the DoD, includes full specifications to regulate necessary processes and identification nomenclature; including compliant marking technologies, quality checks, maintenance documentation, and product storage or distribution processes. These guidelines help to ensure that government assets are manufactured with the highest quality assurance and delivered with fail-safes in place to secure greater safety for the United States through automation-assisted tracking.
Although a large majority of IUID labeling is required for DoD contracts, there are some cases where these specifications are not applicable to all products. These guidelines spell out the necessary information to assist manufacturers, or contractors, with determining whether a product requires IUID labeling or not.
A few other things of significance also find special mention in MIL-STD-130, such as item identification and production numbering, details of production, compliant marking procedures and substrate types. ALL IUID labels must also include a machine readable barcode to meet various automation requirements. In order to understand the specific information required on compliant IUID labels, there are detailed specifications provided in these standards that cover marking/labeling, compliant methods, nomenclature and materials.
According to the identification guidelines established by the Department of Defense, the use of scanners may help organizations to more easily maintain records for full compliance. Apart from this, it must be kept in mind that suppliers must use permanent marking methods for all identification. Government suppliers and manufacturers can choose from a variety of methods to mark their items; such as laser-marking technology, chemical etching, offset printing, indenting, and more. What matters the most is the long-term quality and durability of the labels or direct-part markings. In order to assure that they can withstand tough conditions this identification must be made of materials that are weather resistant, durable, and legible throughout the full lifetime of a part or product.

Mit Kindern auf Urlaub nach Dänemark
posted by sessellift on 12.25.2012
in Sessellift
Dänemark gilt bei Reisenden mit Kindern als Urlaubsparadies. Die kilometerlangen Sandstrände sind auch während der Hauptsaison weit weniger überlaufen als die beliebten Urlaubsziele im Mittelmeer. Dänen sind als besonders kinderfreundlich bekannt. In jedem Urlaubsort an der Küste findet man Spielplätze, wo sich die Kleinen auf der Rutsche, am Klettergerüst oder im Sandkasten austoben können. Verbringt man im Sommer die Ferien in Dänemark, braucht man große Hitze nicht zu fürchten. Vor allem Familien mit Kleinkindern genießen das gemäßigte Klima und bei rund 25 Grad lässt es sich gut den ganzen Tag im Freien aushalten. Die langen feinsandigen Strände laden zum Sandburgen Bauen oder Plantschen im seichten Wasser ein. Da vom Meer her immer eine Brise weht, eignen sich die Küstenabschnitte perfekt zum Drachen steigen lassen. Die dänischen Küstenorte sind in wenigen Stunden Fahrzeit von der deutschen Grenze zu erreichen. Daher entscheiden sich viele Familien für die Anreise mit dem privaten PKW. Wer zum ersten Mal in das beliebte Urlaubsland kommt, sollte wissen, dass hier auf Autobahnen nur 130 km/h und auf Überlandstraßen gar nur 80 km/h schnell gefahren werden darf. Kinder bis zu einer Körpergröße von 135 Zentimetern müssen brauchen einen geeigneten Kindersitz.
Unterkünfte in Dänemark
In allen Urlaubsorten an der dänischen Küste findet man gepflegte Quartiere. Während der Hauptreisezeit sollte man aber frühzeitig buchen, da viele Familien ihre Ferien gerne hier verbringen. Lange Tradition haben Ferienhäuser in Dänemark. Nahezu im ganzen Land sind Häuser für zwei, drei oder mehr Personen zu buchen. Wer Häuser mit eigenem Pool mieten möchte, muss tiefer in die Tasche greifen als wenn man sich für ein kleines Studio entscheidet. Zahlreiche Anbieter im Internet vereinfachen die Suche nach dem passenden Objekt. In einer übersichtlichen Suchmaske gibt man den Reisezeitraum an und wie viele Personen in dem Ferienhaus untergebracht werden sollen. Außerdem muss man natürlich den Wunschort angeben, wo man den Urlaub verbringen möchte. Noch dazu kann man in der Detailsuche die Ergebnisse nach weiteren Kriterien filtern. So kann man sich zum Beispiel nur Häuser anzeigen lassen, wo es eine Waschmaschine gibt oder wo Haustiere ebenfalls willkommen sind.

Product Tracking Essential for Business Expansion
posted by uid2go on 12.06.2012
in Complete UID Soultion News
Product tracking not only determines quick product identification and easy product access, it also measures the quality standards of a business. A unique identification code makes a product easily recognizable. As such, it becomes easy to track and locate manufactured goods that are in storage or in the field. At the same time, unique identification codes ensure authenticity of a particular product. There are also other benefits of product tracking. These include:
• The process indirectly enhances quality preservation of products.
• By means of product tracking, a company can trace its development, thereby maximizing its productivity and internal growth.
• Maximizing product utilization helps reduce taxes on the total production cost.
Product identification by an effective data recorder or scanner can ensure these benefits. The identification process, as such, should be effective to ensure uniqueness of each product label.
The UID identification process, according to the Department of Defense (DoD), follows strict rules. The entire process includes data invoicing, data encoding, unique code validation, and data verification. There are also specific recommendations regarding print quality of UID labels, materials, size, depth and width of the codes. MILSTD130 requires specific criteria for these mentioned factors. The following points deal with some of these important specifications.
• A large number of UID marking methods are recommended. These include laser engraving, metal stamping, inkjet printing, programmable stylus marking, electro chemical etch, and tagging. Plastic tags can be used only when other types of marking methods are not available. For each of these marking procedures, there are specific criteria for size, depth and width of codes. For instance, laser marking requires the code characters to maintain 0.007 – 4.0 inches height and width.
• According to these rules, the UID labels should be written in 2D data matrix format. One can use 1D data format when the former is not available. UID rules recommend that the data should be encoded in both HRI (human readable information) and MRI (machine readable information) format.
• Data validation and data verification confirm the authenticity of encoded data. These two processes stress the fact that a contractor should take due notice of all specifications contained in MILSTD130, ISO15415, and AS9132 regarding UID labelling.
MILSTD130 is an elaborate set of instructions for UID labels, comprising of many categories. This standard aims to provide universally unique codes that will be product specific. As such, these labels are the best means of product tracking.
In other words, UID compliance is essential for enhanced product visibility and product accessibility. To learn more, visit http://www.uid2go.com/news.html.

UID Marking Changes to MIL STD 130
posted by uid2go on 12.06.2012
in Complete UID Soultion News
The Department of Defense (DoD) has included some changes in the newest version of MIL-STD 130 SPEC. The basic objective of the change is to improve product quality and ensure DoD security. The DoD has revised MIL STD 130 K, M, and MIL STD 130 L. Below we will discuss these changes.
New version of MIL-STD 130 SPEC M: This updated version of military standards emphasizes the need for quality checking of UID affiliated bar codes. According to the primary set of specifications, programmable stylus markers, laser marking, and chemical etching are major marking elements for these labels. The new set highlights several changes related to these three marking procedures:
• The C grade of AIM-DPM-2006 has been recommended for these three coding processes.
• The new version allows the inclusion of multiple angles while illuminating the mark. For instance, in cases of four-sided illumination a medium angle of 45 degree can be used.
• As for label printing, ISO 15415 contains all basic standards for dot peen, chemical etching, and laser engraving.
• The wavelength of lighting has been changed from 660 nm +/-10 nm to 640 nm +/- 20 nm.
New version of MIL-STD 130 SPEC N: The revised version recommends ISO-15415 and AS 9132 standards along with AIM-DPM marking specifications. These standards are applicable for all types of product identification. According to this new standard, the data matrix code has to stay below 16 percent of the diameter. This rule is applicable for data matrix encoding on curve surface. As for wavelength, data matrix symbols should maintain 650 nm =/- 20 nm range. As for liner barcodes, UPC/EAN codes have received new verification set up. A narrow bar (10.4-26 mil) and 6 mil aperture is recognized for these codes.
New version of MIL-STD 130 SPEC L: This revised version chiefly focuses on the print quality, encoding options, and marking procedures of these labels. SAE AS 9132 has been recommended for dot peen, chemical etching and laser encoding. All of this data encoding should grade a minimum cell size of 5 mil. ISO-15434 has been recommended for data matrix encoding. The B grade according to the ISO/IEC 15416 standard has been approved as the minimum level for linear codes.
UID Data validation process: The data validation process must meet all specifications stated in ISO-16022, ISO-15415, AS9132, and ISO -15416. The validation process should also meet AIM DPM quality standards.
