New RFID-enabled drug pedigree solutions

Two RFID-enabled, integrated solutions for pharmaceuticals track and trace applications were announced Monday at the RFID Healthcare Industry Adoption Summit in Arlington, Va. Both use electronic pedigrees, or e-pedigrees, to prove a drug's chain of custody and protect against the introduction of counterfeit and/or diverted (fraudulently obtained and resold) drugs into the supply chain.
