Industries : Aerospace and Defense

Aerospace & Defense (A&D) manufacturers face an increasing demand for collaboration on a global scale. Working with its growing network of partners, A&D manufacturers, like all others, must also continue to drive down expenses and compete effectively. The right label, at the right printer, at the right time enables these manufacturers to collaborate efficiently, especially for unique supply chain demands. One such special requirement is the growing demand for Performance Based Logistics (PBL) which, for many U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) acquisition programs, is mandated as a first-choice strategy.

But also, since 2003, A&D manufacturers have been required to meet the DoD's Item Unique Identification (IUID) policy. IUID is more than marking assets -- it can connect processes such as financial transactions, contracting, logistics, maintenance and engineering. Done properly, on an enterprise level, IUID can enable A&D manufacturers to attain new benchmarks of data accuracy and seamless integration with Automatic Identification Systems (AIS), resulting in a solution that allows more critical decisions to be made with confidence. Moreover, variations of combined RFID/UID applications enable A&D manufacturers to more effectively track every item that goes into the manufacture of all assets. Loftware’s enterprising labeling solutions are built to meet these vital demands.
