Mark Reboulet is the Founder/President of Reboulet & Associates LLC, an innovative consulting firm focused on Automatic Identification and Data Collection (AIDC), exploiting DoD Item Unique Identification (IUID), FDA Unique Device Identification (UDI), data collection/traceability in manufacturing and small business mentoring. Mr. Reboulet has over 35 years AF civil service in logistics, AIDC, business process re-engineering, large scale project management in the AF and DoD logistics and supply chain business processes. Mr. Reboulet is nationally and internationally recognized for his work and contributions in AIDC standards development. Mr. Reboulet has over 27 years in the AIDC market sector, influencing AF/DoD/industry business processes in supply, equipment, transportation, munitions, maintenance, in-transit visibility (ITV), Nuclear Weapons Related Material tracking and supply chain management. His early Foreign Military Sales (FMS) involvement with Iran, Egypt and Saudi Arabia provided a strong supply chain foundation to build a successful AIDC career. Mr. Reboulet, in 1987 was promoted as the first DoD Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) program manager. Mr. Reboulet led the AF/DoD in the standardization, and adoption of RFID throughout ITV processes worldwide. His early standards work on Integrated Circuit Cards (Smart Cards) formed the foundation for the deployment of the Common Access Card (CAC). In 1994, the AF consolidated Logistics Marking and Automated Reading Symbols (LOGMARS) and Microcircuit Technology in Logistics Application (MITLA) under Mr. Reboulet, forming the first AF Automatic identification technology (AIT) Program Management Office (PMO). Mr. Reboulet was the voting DoD member for ANSI X3B10 Smart Card Committee, AF voting member of ANSI X3T6 Technical Working Group addressing RFID transponder interface leading the team to establish National standards for RFID (INCITS 256) that later became ISO/IEC 18000-7. Mr. Reboulet was the AF/DoD voting member of ANSI MH10 SC8 who puts forward the United States position on AIDC standards to International Organization for Standardization (ISO). Mr. Reboulet chair/led this committee for four years. Mr. Reboulet was a hand selected member of the DoD team charged by acting Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition, Technology and Logistics, Mr. Wynne to use AIDC to improve accountability of DoD inventories. From this team, the DoD Unique Identification (UID) program was born in September 2002. The AF charged Mr. Reboulet and his AIT team with developing policy and implementation plans to meet all of the DoD UID Policy. Thinking outside the Box, Mr. Reboulet envisioned and developed an enterprise deployment methodology for AIDC across multiple AF business processes which resulted in the establishment of the Award winning AF Enterprise Data Collection Layer (EDCL). EDCL standardizes the application architecture on mobile devices as well as the data synchronization from the mobile device to an AF Standard data store. Next, EDCL applies unique transactional transformation through a Business Process Execution Language (BPEL) and then publishes the transaction through a standard Enterprise Bus to disparate backend AF systems. The EDCL architecture supports mobile devices that are connected, casually connected and disconnected from a standard AF wired or wireless network that is seamless to the user. As an Expert Witness, Mr. Reboulet helped sort out a patent infringement lawsuit for shipping labels that affected the entire AIDC industry and their customers. Mr. Reboulet was inducted into the ADC 100 in 1998, which recognizes pioneers in the automated data collection industry. Mr. Reboulet was recognized as a top 100 federal executive in 2001 by Federal Computer Weekly. Mr. Reboulet received the AIM Global Percival Award in 2007 recognizing outstanding contributions to the application of automatic identification and data capture technologies in the user community. Finishing out his career in the AF, Mr. Reboulet was again hand selected to be the Deputy Division Chief, AFMC System Integration Division, overseeing portfolio management of AF and AFMC systems including AF Capability initiative such as Maintenance Repair and Overhaul (MROi), Enterprise Supply Chain Analysis, Planning and Execution (ESCAPE), and Project Lifecycle Management (PLMi).

George Wright IV is a second-generation bar code expert with over 20 years of experience in the field. A tireless supporter of bar code standards and education, George is an active member of a number of bar code marking and labeling committees. His committee and standards experience includes: Book Industry Study Group (BISG) Book Industry Systems Advisor Committee (BISAC) Serial Industry Systems Advisor Committee (SISAC) Former Chair, Publishers Technical Advisory Subcommittee National Information Standards Organization (NISO) Committee CC: Serial Item and Contribution Identifier (Z39.56-1991) Committee AM: Serial Item and Contribution Identifier (Z39.56-1996) Health Industry Business Communications Council (HIBCC) Automatic Identification Technology Committee Health Industry Bar Code Provider Applications Standard (ANSI/HIBC 1-1996) Health Industry Bar Code Supplier Labeling Standard (ANSI/HIBC 2-1997) Uniform Code Council (UCC) RSS/Composite Encoding/Imaging Work Group North American RSS/Composite Healthcare Implementation Team In the mid-1980s George worked with Dr. David Allais and Sprague Ackley to re-engineer the Intermec 8400/S35 series impact label printer printwheel and firmware to more efficiently produce 2-digit/5-digit U.P.C. add-on codes with up to 4 lines of OCR-A type above the bar code. His most significant contributions to publication bar coding came a few years later when he guided the adoption by SISAC of the then new Code 128 as the symbology standard for library journal bar coding (the first broad-based, global adoption of Code 128); invented the SICI-to-SISAC bar code data compaction/transcription algorithm for use in that application; and authored the authoritative SISAC Serial Item Identification: Bar Code Symbol Implementation Guidelines (2nd Edition, February 1992), a document which is still in industry-wide use today. His other significant contributions to the publication bar coding user community include conceiving and then collaborating with the manufacturer on implementation of data format validation for SISAC bar codes and EAN Bookland formats in the Quick Check brand print quality verifiers; and the development of the daily newspaper de facto standard coding structure for a 5-digit U.P.C. add-on. Subsequent to his work in the development of bar code standards and solutions for publishing, George has been especially active in promoting the use of bar codes in healthcare. He worked with the UCC and HIBCC to develop printable unit dose bar code marking and provided the bar code masters for the UCC-sponsored test of inline printing of RSS/Composite Symbology on unit dose packaging. He was also instrumental in developing and implementing the bar code data capture systems at St. Alexius Hospital in Bismarck, ND, an application that has become a show-piece for the efficiency and cost savings of bar code marking and scanning in the hospital setting. His current efforts are focused on implementing Reduced Space Symbology on pharmaceutical unit-of-use packaging in anticipation of the forthcoming FDA mandate for standardized bar codes on the immediate container of all Rx drugs, biologics and blood products. As part of this effort George has been actively working with the leading RSS/Composite verifier manufacturer to refine the verification capabilities of that companys verifier line and to develop third-party add-ons to compliment solutions based on their products. George is Vice President of Product Identification & Processing Systems, Inc. (PIPS), a Manhattan, NY-based bar code supplier founded in 1978. PIPS offers traditional film as well as digital bar code masters, bar code image generation software, pre-printed bar code tags and labels, on-demand printing system solutions and supplies and custom data collection solutions. The company is a recognized leader in bar code print quality analysis and a major supplier of verification equipment. PIPS also provides education, consulting and system implementation services to a wide range of markets. A frequent speaker and promoter of bar code technology, George has given educational seminars and presentations to a wide range of corporate and general audiences.

Brian started his career in AIDC in 1979 selling Film Masters made by Datronic in Germany for Reed International, a paper manufacturing company. He was soon head-hunted by Photographic Sciences Corp., as it was then in 1981, to be European Marketing Manager to try and introduce the total barcode system concept of supplying hardware and software and consumables from one supplier into Europe. When PSC went into Chapter 11 a year or so later he was made redundant and set up Bar Code Systems to supply Film Masters and verifiers in 1983. During the 80s Bar Code Systems started manufacturing their own Film Masters and barcode printed labels and moved into supplying a total barcode solution. Prior to the bringing down of the Berlin Wall in 1989, Brian had already made lasting business contacts in the former Soviet Union, Czechoslovakia and Hungary. Having spotted the Eastern Bloc as a potential long-term AIDC burgeoning market he devised a model to develop joint venture partners in this area. In 1990 he formed International Bar Code Systems to develop this area and is now undisputed market leader in Czech and Slovak Republics, Hungary, Poland and Bulgaria. Brian has served AIM since 1985 in various roles such as Chairman of AIM UK, President of AIM Europe, and President of AIM International. He was the driving force behind the AIM UK Education Committee and the AIM UK Parliamentary Liaison committee. Achievements include introducing the first ever post-graduate Master of Science degree in Automatic Identification and the first AIM technical support laboratory at the University of Keele. He undertook a protracted lobbying campaign with the Tory Government to raise the awareness of AIDC, culminating in the first ever British Government initiative in AIDC to raise awareness of the technology with SMEs (small and medium size enterprises). Brian has written a book about all this called Raise the Bar Change the Game turning it into a success primer for budding entrepreneurs who want to change the world. Brian lives with his wife Lisa and has a daughter Jessica adopted from Romania.
