Pharmaceuticals Get into RFID
At the Healthcare Information and Management System Society's conference, Purdue Pharma LP announced that they will use Symbol's RFID mobile computers to implement anti-counterfeiting RFID tracking. According to Computerworld:
"We have to identify counterfeit drugs before they penetrate our supply chain, and identify vulnerabilities in our supply chain," said Aaron Graham, vice president and chief security officer at Purdue. "While there may not be an ROI in dollars, how do you put a price on patient safety?"
The Symbol MC9000-G computers, which combine RFID and bar-code reading with imaging and wireless connectivity, will be provided without charge to state and federal law enforcement agencies for use in efforts to stop illegal drug trafficking, Graham said.
