RFID Labeling for DOD with ASN Support
Mil-Pac's RFID Solution goes beyond simply printing labels to simplify the process of uploading RFID to Wide-Area Workflow (WAWF). RFID automation is particularly beneficial for palletized shipments and/or those with UID parts. Mil-Pac's RFID solution address all of these needs, even if you are RFID-tagging UIDs to the unit level.
RFID Label Formats included in Std-Barc support flexible RFID-tagged packaging options:
- Military Shipment Label (at right)
- Exterior Container Label
- UID-Unit Container Label
- Generic RFID Container Label
Advance Shipment Notice generation is supported by Std-Barc to simplify submittal of RFID data to Wide Area Workflow (WAWF). Use the RFID data file, or RFID Load Manager for automated electronic submittal of the Advance Shipment Notice (ASN) to WAWF.
Integrated Solution for DOD RFID Mandate Compliance
- RFID Tags / Labels
- An RFID Tag must be placed on each exterior container
(case) and pallet as specifically required on defense contracts.
This requirement has started to include unit containers
for UID-marked items. The RFID Tag is applied directly
to packaging or embedded in labels such as the unit or exterior
container label, or the Military Shipment Label (above right).
- WAWF Data Entry -
The contents of each RFID-tagged container, and its relationship
to other RFID containers must be communicated
to Wide Area Workflow (WAWF). This may be accomplished at
time of shipment via manual data-entry into the WAWF web
application, but when palletizing or shipping UIDs, electronic data interchange
(EDI) is a better answer.
- RFID Tag Verification
- Each RFID tag must be verifiable at time of shipment.
Quality Assurance Representatives (QARs) may require on-demand
demonstration of RFID tag readability as a condition
acceptance.
