| Introduction |
| Counterfeit pharmaceutical is one of the most critical issues facing the pharmaceutical industry today. The business of selling fake drugs is a burgeoning global industry.
Adoption of RFID hardware and software throughout the pharma industry is about to explode, spurred on by the push from industry organizations. Reliable, accurate and secure measures for tracking, tracing and authentication of the pharma supply chain are essential to protect consumers and corporate brands.
|
| When the manufacturer puts an RFID tag on the product, it stores all the static information about the product such as lot number and expiry in the database, and links this information to the COMPANY . When the product moves across the supply chain, from the manufacturer to the wholesaler, this observation is updated in the database holding the initial information. This happens at all phases of the movement of drugs, from the wholesalers to the distributors, to the pharmacies and then to the hospitals. |
