epcSolutions and A2B Tracking Solutions join forces to provide complete RFID and UID compliant labeling and data management solution for DoD suppliers.

Great Falls, VA Feb 06, 2007 epcSolutions, Inc. the worlds most installed Wal*Mart RFID solution provider and A2B Tracking Solutions, the leading provider of UID data management solutions, announce the immediate availability of RFIDTagManager for DoD, which consists of epcSolutions RFIDTagManager and A2B’s Flagship product UID Comply!®.

This integrated offering allows DoD suppliers to manage all aspects of UID creation, registration, validation and UID labeling requirements while seamlessly integrating that data with a complete RFID labeling and Wide Area Workflow (WAWF) submission in a single package.

“A2B’s UID Comply is the best in class solution for the UID mandate. The combination of the two leaders in UID and RFID makes for the perfect solution”, states Kevin Kail, CEO epcSolutions. “By providing an integrated solution to our reseller network we enable our resellers to offer a complete RFID/UID label printing and data management solution.”

“When using the combined solution, the steps for creating a WAWF submission with both UID and RFID data are quite simple. First the UIDs for the items that require UID labels are created and printed using UID Comply! Then RFIDTagManager is used to print and encode the RFID tags for the shipping containers and pallets,” explains Chuck Williams, CTO epcSolutions. “Once the UID labels are applied to the items, the items are packed into shipping containers and the RFID tags are applied to the shipping containers. Last, RFIDTagManager’s WAWF Wizard is used to import the UID data directly from UID Comply! based on the contract and CLIN pairs that are being delivered on the shipment. The combined UID and RFID data is saved to a UDF file and the file is electronically submitted to the DoD via WAWF,” continues Williams.

“We are delighted to be working with epcSolutions, Inc to bring such a robust RFID solution to our UID Comply! customers who require RFID technology to submit UID data to the WAWF,” says A2B President Peter Collins. “We have great confidence in epcSolutions’ expertise, and we believe that the marriage of our UID Comply! product suite with epcSolutions’ RFIDTagManager makes this the most complete, single-source UID/RFID compliance solution available.”

The integrated solution provides MIL-STD-129P compliant RFID labels and MIL-STD-130M compliant UID marks/labels. The solution also provides a combined RFID/UID WAWF remittance and material handling document to the DoD, as well as hard copy generation of the DD250. The solution supports all major brands of RFID and bar code printers, as well as, several popular direct part mark etching devices.
