RVSI Receives UID, Inspection Orders

NASHUA, N.H., Dec. 8 -- Robotic Vision Systems Inc. (RVSI) announced today that BAE Systems has selected its unique-identification (UID) kit for compliance with a new Department of Defense (DoD) policy. In addition, RVSI has been selected by science and technology company Battelle Memorial Institute, of Columbus, Ohio, to participate in a General Services Administration supply contract. RVIS said it will provide UID support to DoD agencies and services as a subcontractor.
