OAT and ADT to Satisfy Cephalon’s RFID Needs
International biopharmaceutical company, Cephalon Inc., has decided on the OAT Foundation Suite software platform for its pilot RFID programme. Developed by OAT Systems, the software will provide visibility of products through all phases of transport from the manufacturer to the end-user. The software includes enterprise data management, enterprise-level analytics and reporting, Edge data management, and item-level tracking. The primary use of the software will be to track branded pharmaceuticals across the supply chain, and avoid discrepancies in shipment receipts. ADT's Sensormatic RFID hardware will complement the OAT Foundation Suite, leveraging a partnership between the two companies. Randy Bradway, Cephalon's vice president of commercial operations, expects that the OAT Foundation Suite will not only enable the use of RFID to sow efficiencies in the supply chain, but also provide a platform to support future upgrades. UsingRFID.com reports:
The company wants to deploy RFID to gain better visibility of goods movements and inventory, right from manufacturing to retail, to help reduce shipment-receipt discrepancies with trading partners and ensure patient safety by tracking products all the way to the end user.
