Unique Identifiers (UIDs): A Virtually Unlimited Namespace

The 12-character markUID format, with its optimized 32-character encoding, generates an impressive identification space of over one trillion unique combinations (that’s a 1 followed by 18 zeros). To illustrate: you could assign a unique markUID to every grain of sand on the 10 largest beaches on Earth and still use only a fraction of the available codes. This practically infinite namespace ensures that your organization will never run out of identifiers – whether you're tracking a few premium assets or millions of items across global supply chains.

The carefully curated 32-character set used by markUID (0123456789ABCDEFGHJKMNPQRSTUWXYZ) eliminates common transcription errors by excluding easily confused characters like O/0 and I/l/1. Each character was chosen for compatibility with standard ASCII encoding and optimized for readability on digital displays, printed labels, and in verbal communication. This thoughtful balance results in fewer manual entry mistakes, better visual recognition during inspections, and smoother communication between team members.

Your markUID codes are independent of their physical representation, giving you full flexibility to apply them via QR codes, DataMatrix, plain text, RFID, laser engraving, or any other marking technology. This format-agnostic approach allows you to tailor the identification method to your operational context – whether it’s harsh industrial environments requiring durable engravings, retail settings favoring scannable codes, or field operations that rely on quick visual recognition. As your needs evolve or technologies advance, your UIDs remain consistent even as their presentation changes.

Unlike traditional serial numbers that identify product models or batches, markUID provides truly individual digital identities for every physical item. Each object receives its own distinct identifier, enabling precise tracking throughout its entire lifecycle – regardless of how similar it may be to other items. This true item-level uniqueness transforms your inventory management, authentication, maintenance tracking, and ownership documentation – elevating your operations from general batch tracking to precise object-level intelligence.

With markUID, you're not only keeping pace with today's standards – you're prepared for the future. Our technology is built to scale and adapt as your business grows and evolves. Whether you’re a small company or a multinational enterprise – markUID provides the flexibility and scalability you need.
