RFID for Any Industry

Craig Jordan embarked on his IT journey at a young age, delving into the world of technology with his trusty Commodore-64 and TI-80, mastering programming languages like COBOL and Fortran. Fast forward to the 21st century, Craig's innovative spirit led him to pioneer a High-Speed Wireless internet solution for rural areas, revolutionizing connectivity across a sprawling 40 square miles previously limited to dial-up. Simultaneously, he established an IT managed services firm, catering to diverse entities such as School Districts, County Townships, Assessors, Law Firms, and various private enterprises, empowering them to harness technology for operational excellence. Collaborating with Matt Ruiter, initially as an IT client, Craig ventured into the realm of pre-clinical research, focusing on infusion pump software and hardware solutions. This collaboration birthed UID (Unified Information Devices), a comprehensive technology ecosystem tailored for research laboratories. UID swiftly gained prominence in the realm of drug development, serving academia, biotech, pharmaceutical companies, and CROs worldwide. Craig's profound IT expertise, coupled with Matt Ruiter's scientific acumen, uniquely positions UID as a frontrunner in RFID technology, particularly for animal ID, and a myriad of trace and track solutions, shaping the future of research and data management. Hobbies: Craig enjoys flying and golfing.

After eight years in that role, Matt took on a new challenge as Vice President for a medical device company that provided catheters, infusion pumps, and software for laboratory research. In this position, Matthew traveled the world performing contract surgeries and teaching drug infusion procedures for all animal species. His extensive experience in these fields is what led him to where he is now, as CSO of UID. Hobbies: Matt enjoys fishing.
