RFID advocates believe that this may substantially reduce supply chain costs and clean up the barriers. The technology is closely linked with the logistics supply chain together, is expected to replace bar code scanning technology the next few years. All the signs show, RFID technology will be the first to be applied in the field of medical logistics and promotion.

Print Network HC RFID (Radio frequency identification) inventory tracking system is the RFID tags attached to pallets, crates, or components, the conduct component specifications, serial number and other information for automatic storage and transmission. Can RFID tag information to within 10 feet of RF card reader, so that the warehouses and workshops will no longer need to use hand-held bar code readers on the components and by-products for bar code scanning, which to some extent, reduce the missing occurs, and dramatically improved efficiency.

RFID advocates believe that this may substantially reduce supply chain costs and clean up the barriers. The technology is closely linked with the logistics supply chain together, is expected to replace bar code scanning technology the next few years. There are indications, RFID technology will take the lead in Medicine Application and promotion of logistics fields.

Medical Logistics is considered RFID “testing ground”

According to reports, U.S. Pharmacy Group will use its supply chain RFID tag, the practical utility of its evaluation. According to Accenture Group’s project manager, said the companies involved in the project, including pharmaceutical manufacturers, distributors and retailers. Including AbbottLaboratories, BarrharmaceuticalsInc., Cardinal Health, CVSPharmacy, Johnson & Johnson, McKesson, Pfizer, P & G and RiteAid. In addition, health care delivery Management Commission and the National Chain DrugStores Committee expressed support for this project will provide relevant information to its members. RFID technology currently being developed for the retail industry, mainly by large retailers like Wal-Mart’s drive. This technology is mainly used for boxes and pallets in warehouses and stores the logistics flow between the process of tracking.

Texas Instruments (TI) is the RFID technology leader in the field and some standards advocates, is the world’s electronic tag and reader system, the largest integrated manufacturer, has produced over 400 million tags. RFID products in the world already has a large number of applications, such as Britain’s Marks & Spencer supermarket applications to TI’s RFID electronic tag on the new Food For supply chain management, the use of the application of bar code technology is the cost of the 110, but also improves the supply chain management, improving efficiency. Order centers in the Netherlands, flowers 10000 tray RFID, to order flowers 99% accuracy. Goldwin production of movement Clothing Application of RFID technology to reduce the overall cost and shorten the time of production and distribution cycle. Gap clothing company applies RFID technology to track the management of the company’s Sell Volume increased by 20%. 3M’s library management system entirely by TI’s RFID tags “Tag-it” instead of the original bar code identification system using an electronic tag library can borrow on the books, look, inventory, security and other management.

TI even more optimistic about the following applications: a pharmaceutical industry applications. If the pharmaceutical industry the use of RFID technology will address many of the production and marketing problems. Pharmaceutical products can accurately grasp the situation, improve production efficiency and reduce labor costs, reduced product quality assurance time, real-time monitoring of all cases of product manufacturing processes, quickly respond to market and reduce the number of expired product loss. Another is the supply chain applications. Application of RFID technology in supply chain, inventory management accuracy can be increased to 100%, and improve the distribution centers 10% to 20% of productivity. In addition, RFID systems can also reduce labor costs warehousing and distribution centers; effective to assess the need to recall the products, and quickly find the products in the sales cycle; to reduce counterfeiting, real-time monitoring inventory and distribution, reduce the production cycle.

RFID bar code challenge

Automatic road toll system, access control systems, identification, etc. These applications already integrated into our daily lives, but RFID technology as the core of which has not attracted much attention; Wal-Mart, “a request for supply of 100 business in January 2005 issued prior to delivery to its distribution center plate and the use of RFID technology packaging, “a paper agreement and China RFID Working Group on the establishment of national standards will be RFID to a new craze, so that RFID has become In 2004 one of the most popular words.
