Get the Facts About RFID in the Pharmaceutical Supply Chain
An interesting white paper looks at UHF RFID item level tagging in the pharmaceutical industry. The paper is a collaborative effort by six companies including: ADT/Tyco, Alien, Impinj, Symbol, Intel and Xterprise.

The paper notes that for pharmaceutical manufacturers and distributors, RFID solves three critical issues:

  • Protects against counterfeiting as drugs travels through the supply chain.



  • Performs regulatory compliance, by creating a complete electronic pedigree automatically without human intervention.



  • Enables rapid and cost-effective recalls.



The paper also debunks a variety of RFID myths. Download at Bitpipe: RFID and UHF: a Prescription For RFID Success in the Pharmaceutical Industry (PDF)
