 Health Care/Pharmaceutical:
Lessons Learned—Using UHF Gen 2 To Authenticate Drugs
Identifying drugs in the supply chain is not enough. Companies need to be able to authenticate shipments of product as they move through the supply chain. Learn how one drug maker used a UHF Gen 2 system to authenticate and track drugs from its manufacturing plant to wholesale partners to retail pharmacies.

Health Care/Pharmaceutical:
Case Study—Tracking Drugs at the Item Level
One major drug distribution company has been testing item-level RFID tagging to help improve the safety of medicine and other health-care products as they move through the supply chain. The company collected data that could be utilized to populate drug pedigrees—documents authenticating a drug's source—and to better understand the implications of RFID on the company's business processes. Learn the results of this ground-breaking trial.

Case Study—McKesson Deploys HF and UHF to Track Drug Shipments
Pharmaceutical industry distributor McKesson will provide highlights from its RFID technology pilot used to track and authenticate its counterfeit-prone drug Viagra at its distribution centers. The pilot was used to read pallet, case and item-level tags as well as gauge how its software systems handled the millions of electronic product codes captured by its RFID interrogators each day. The test required a system that could read UHF tags on cases as well as HF tags on individual drug containers.
