Scan & Read UID Markings with a Datron CNC and it will automatically engrave the corresponding serial number on parts!

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

Datron provides a UID solution to manufacturers in the form of a high-speed CNC engraving machine that is flexible enough to scan and read UID markings and engrave the corresponding serial numbers onto parts. And get this – because of our 3D probing and material surface scanning ability, Datron can engrave serial numbers on ROUNDED SURFACES ... at an even depth!
