By: KeyTone Marketing The FutureWorks Group’s Item Identity Management™, I2M™ , solution was originally developed by Boeing to provide a highly flexible, highly functional and affordable system for item identification and tracking for military aircraft parts. The patented process and technology for serialized parts marking was refined into the Opportunistic Parts Marking concept through Boeing’s work with the Army. The FutureWorks Group is a licensee of Boeing’s Opportunistic Parts Marking patent. FutureWorks has worked collaboratively with Boeing, the US Army, and the US Air Force to develop the I2M™ system to support UID adoption by OEMs, suppliers, and DoD programs. Item level traceability is a critical requirement for many manufacturers, distributors and government organizations in securing and tracking valuable assets and providing essential services. UID provides a completely unique identification for each item using a data construct comprised of several discrete pieces of information. The UID can then be captured in an RFID tag that can be leveraged throughout the item’s product life cycle. KeyTone’ “The UID market is a $200B opportunity which includes gaming, pharmaceuticals, luxury goods, electronics, food safety and other markets.
