Asset Identification &
UID Program Implementation
Camcode Global helps organisations comply with or set-up asset tracking programs. From our roots as a barcode label manufacturer, everything we do is centered around data integrity; meaning that each asset is tracked with a permanent, globally unique identifier. We offer a full suite of products and services to help organisations establish or comply with asset tracking programs.
We have experience implementing these military asset tracking programs:
See Industries section for our non-military asset tracking experience.
Our Methodology
It is all about the data. Camcode Global has marked over three million assets in 15 countries, including on-site marking in active warzones. Click the products or services below to learn how to get you (and keep you) in compliance.
Policy Development
From data structure to marking methods, let Camcode Global draft (or simply interpret) your asset tracking policy or program.
Policy Compliance
Maintain global mark consistency and longevity by documenting how each asset is to be marked with an engineering specification.
Data Audit & Cleansing
Let us reconcile your existing data to physical assets before printing labels. Unique Item Identifiers are reserved to preserve clean data from the audit.
Marking
We offer a robust suite of durable asset marking technologies, including on-site printing systems. If desired, we can mark assets on-site for you.
Verification
To maintain data integrity, our system verifies marking each asset. If an asset cannot be marked, the orphan label is documented and destroyed.
Leverage Your Data
With uniquely identified assets, you can manage an unlimited set of asset-specific operations and comply with any item-unique tracking policy.
UID Compliance For military Suppliers
Do you supply products a NATO country?
You may be required to comply with a UID policy (e.g. Def Stan 05-132, Def 1000C, STANG 2290, MIL-STD-130, etc.).
Search to see if your product type has an approved marking specification:
If a marking specification already exists for your asset, you can order labels. If not, ask us to develop a new specification.
Policy Development
Camcode Global has helped author item-unique identification programs in the United Kingdom, Australia and for NATO. We have physically marked and registered over three million assets across 1,000 NSNs in 15 countries. Writing or simply complying with a military or non-military asset tracking program involves understanding data structure rules, approved marking methods and data registration. Let us help your organization quickly and easily comply or create an item-unique asset tracking program.
Policy Compliance
Audit & Data Cleansing
Let our teams reconcile your existing data/property books with your physical assets to create a clean data file before marking. The deliverable is a clean data file reconciled with actual inventory to identify gaps on an item-by-item basis and, when necessary, new item-unique identifiers that comply with our ISO9001 certified data management system to verify uniqueness and compliance with any standard.
Marking
Camcode Global teams install labels on a wide variety of asset types in many locations worldwide, including active warzones. Our process enables installation teams to quickly and accurately locate, label and document the marking of assets. Camcode Global also has extensive experience managing on-site manufacturing. This solution may be suited for demanding applications with very short lead times, which require on the spot manufacturing of labels. In addition to durable laser marked materials, Camcode Global’s on-site manufacturing capabilities also allow for direct part marking applications. The mobility of the marking equipment provides for multiple solutions to meet every need.
Verification
To maintain data integrity, we verify the installation of each mark. If an asset cannot receive its assigned mark, the orphan label is documented and destroyed. Verification can be done by our teams during installation or by your own labor using our installation software. Additional data fields such as location, status, type, value or vendor can be appended to any asset during this stage.
Leverage Your Data
Beyond compliance, item-unique tracking programs improve uptime by linking each unique item with an unlimited dataset of asset-specific data such as location, ownership, repair history and maintenance instructions. Using an asset management application, you can update and report out real-time status information. Beyond operational efficiency, item-unique identification can be used to comply with a variety of other policies including International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR).
Demonstrated Results
As the primary Unique Item Identification (UID) implementation partner for NATO, Camcode Global has implemented item-unique tracking programs for the UK Ministry of Defence, Australian Defence Force and several non-military organisations. Camcode Global has marked over three million assets in 15 countries, including on-site marking in active warzones.
For the first time in more than 40 years, the United Kingdom Ministry of Defence (UK MoD) granted a new standard issue handgun for British forces. The Glock G17 9mm pistol replaced the Browning 9mm pistol, which was in service since 1967. The Glock was found to be lighter, faster, more accurate and had a larger magazine capacity than the Browning. For these reasons, it was important to get the pistols into the field quickly and efficiently. However, prior to distribution, each Glock must be uniquely identified.

During combat missions in Afghanistan, the United Kingdom Ministry of Defence’s (UK MoD) main focus was providing warfighters and soldiers with weapons and equipment as quickly as possible. Now that the war in Afghanistan is ending and the drawdown begins, the UK MoD’s focus has shifted to more efficient logistics and equipment management.

Amount of Equipment Camcode Global Helped to Uncover
The Bowman C4I tactical communications system is a critical element to the United Kingdom Ministry of Defence’s (UK MoD) Armed Forces success in combat operations. However, the management and visibility of military assets throughout the Armed Forces supply chain was difficult.
When the Netherlands Ministry of Defence (MoD) committed to a $235 million implementation of a new SAP enterprise resource system in 2003, the pressure was on to take maximum advantage of the system’s efficiency-boosting benefits. Bearing the responsibility for successful SAP implementation was the 6,000-employee Defence Materiel Organisation (DMO), which manages such assets as small arms, controlled cryptographic items and medical equipment for the Netherlands’ air force, army, navy and military police.
