System Overview:
Each IDI customer application is different, and may include a very different collection of hardware and software elements. This support site is intended to
serve the broadest possible range of IUID customer applications, and so includes information on the latest manufacturer offerings that might not have been available to each customer during their initial deployment.
IDI will update this site periodically to add new content, and links to manufacturer videos, document sites, etc. Each product page will include a manufacturer's logo with a link to their homepage. Also, each product model image will be linked to that manufacturer's product page. In this way, customers can always find the latest support links for their products.
The Material Tab provides a tabular reference for common consumable supplies, spare parts, and accessories. The Videos Tab provides a centralized location for product video links shown on individual product support pages. The Operation Tab attempts to show a variety of ways in which Bartender software can be used to control the print process. Options from fully manual data input forms, to fully automated linkages to external databases are detailed.
Hardware Elements:
Find documentation & Specs for the various hardware items under each tab.Thermal label printers are probably the most common IUID print systems in use. The key features that IDI recommends are a minimum of 300 dot/inch print resolution, thermal transfer ribbon, and WinOS printer drivers from Seagull Scientific. This last element may not be a technical requirement for creating an IUID datamatrix barcode. However, IDI commonly recommends use of Bartender Label Design Software to maximize the ability to provide advanced process automation with nearly any database. And the Seagull printer drivers assure that these Bartender features will be fully available for use.

The Brady i5100 is a recent replacement for the previous generation IP-Series printers. It retains the same form factor, but provides several feature improvements. In reality, the Brady IP Series, and the new i5100 are Brady-branded versions of printer models from CAB of Germany. Because the i5100 is a newly released product, there are not yet any printer drivers released from Seagull. However, IDI has tested the Seagull CAB printer driver for the equivalent Mach 4S model, without any issues and we recommend its use for this project.

Laser Marking systems use either CO2, Fiber, or YAG lasers to etch or engrave product surfaces or metal nameplates. An IUID datamatrix barcode from a laser marking system is far more durable than a printed label, and will typically last years longer. IDI routinely recommends marking lasers from Trotec or Epilog, and air filtration systems from Fumex, due to their high product quality, ease of use, safety features, and compatibility with WinOS software applications. Specs, Manuals, and Videos are shown below for our most commonly recommended models.

RIA has procured four (4) different models from Epilog Laser Corporation, as shown in the table below. This table provides comparative model information as well as links to the pertinent equipment documentation, firmware, and PC drivers. ID Integration will assure that our on-site installation process will update the equipment to the latest firmware level if not already shipped in that condition. The table also provides a link to an optional software application provided by Epilog Laser Corporation called 'Job Manager'. ID Integration does not believe this software will have any value to RIA since its purpose is intended for managing static artwork production. In contrast, RIA intends to produce sequential marking information from one job to the next.

The Fumex FA1 and FA1 mini are 4-stage air filtration systems that are connected to the Epilog CO2 and Fiber Lasers supplied by IDI to RIA. The FA1 mini is shorter and custom mounted into the supplied mobile cart system from IDI, supplying filtration to the Epilog Mini24 lasers. The filter set supplied with these blowers are suited for light debris metal and anodized metal coated materials used within the Epilog lasers. Laser etch materials, such as tesa tape, generally will require different gas filter options that are available in different Fumex models - specifically, the FA5 model.

Bartender Label Design Software,
from Seagull Scientific, is used for virtually all of ID Integration's IUID marking systems. There are numerous other software applications to create barcode images. However, we believe that Bartender offers the best combination of price
and features, and the world's best data integration capabilities to customer data sources. Click on the Videos Navbar link to review the Bartender design process.

Seagull Scientific Printer drivers
are available as free downloads for hundreds of printer models. ID Integration strongly encourages their use over propriety drivers in order to get the most value from the Bartender Software Suite. Currently, Seagull offers no driver support
for laser marking sytems. Therefore, for laser marking systems, we recommend using the native software drivers provided by Epilog, Trotec, Rofin, or other similar systems.

The Cognex Dataman DM8072V
is currently our most common recommendation for IUID barcode verification. Its hand held design provides 30, 45, and 90 degree lighting options and Win10 Desktop software to auto-generate PDF reports which document both
(1) Image Quality and (2) Data Syntax conformance to the rules of Mil-Std-130 . Click on the Videos Navbar link to review the installation and usage process.

BarCodeOS is a patented IUID data validation, parsing, and filtering technology from ID Integration. BarCodeOS is embedded into the Code Corp scanner family to enhance the base functionality without the need for added software drivers or PC applications. Point your cursor where you want to direct scanned data, and simply pull the trigger. Our BarCodeOS enabled scanners provide the world's ONLY true plug&play, out-of-the-box IUID validation and parsing solution.
Scanners are delivered fully assembled, and perform a Mil-Std-130 validation of all data matrix symbologies to assure that they conform to all rules of character content, length, and order. A single beep indicates the scanned datamatrix code is a VALID IUID, while four (4X) beeps indicates a Mil-Std-130 data violation. Scans of other symbologies are simply passed to the PC as normal. The default character output mode is Raw IUID barcode characters with an ENTER suffix. However, customers may request any other output mode with their purchase, and IDI will pre-configure the scanners without charge.
