E Revision Supports DoD

Thursday, July 21, 2005
EPCglobal’s electronic product code (EPC) tag data standard has been revised to incorporate the Defense Department’s Commercial and Government Entity (CAGE) code and the Department of Defense Activity Address Code (DODAAC), which are used by DOD suppliers to identify shipments. The department’s 60,000 suppliers can use either these DOD tag data constructs or the EPC tag data construct to comply with the agency’s request to apply RFID tags on all shipments to the military by January 2007. ”

Vision-Box, a biometrics solutions provider, has come out with an automatic border control e-gate that supports multimodal biometric authentication.

This new e-gate is a thin system that contains vb i-match, a single sourced design that is modular and flexible and can be adapted to business requirements and infrastructure constraints that would otherwise disrupt passenger flow. It has the ability to cope with industry standards such as ICAO. The e-gate supports iris, fingerprint and facial biometrics.
