PBUSE Incorporates Automatic Identification Technology

摘要

The Army is improving and simplifying its property accountability processes by incorporating automatic identification technology (AIT) into Property Book Unit Supply Enhanced (PBUSE). AIT increases PBUSE's ability to accurately identify, track, document, and control the movement of deploying equipment and personnel. Historically, the Army has used a passive barcode system that required much manual input. Since its fielding began in November 2008, PBUSE-AIT has been improving the speed and accuracy of property accountability by fielding with PBUSE hand-held terminals, printers that produce long-term asset labels, and two-dimensional barcode technology.
