The UID in IUID stands for Unique Identification, which refers in a general sense to methods and systems for uniquely identifying things. This idea gained traction within the aerospace and automotive industries as a way to ensure that equipment from different manufacturers and countries could be uniquely identified. Adding a part number to a serial number makes the combined identifier more unique. Further adding the manufacturer’s identifier and the country of origin makes it even more so.
