RFID in the Pharmaceutical Supply Chain: Regulations, Physical Limitations and a Real-Life Study

Published: February 25, 2013

In this presentation, learn in detail how the regulations put in place by the U.S. Federal Drug Administration (FDA) affect the application of RFID in tracking and tracing pharmaceuticals—particularly products with proteins as their active ingredient (biologics). In addition, hear the conclusive results of a two-year collaboration between University of South Florida Polytechnic researchers and multiple major pharmaceutical companies, to test and analyze the effects of some of these regulations on a wide variety of biologic products over the frequency spectrum of commercially available RFID systems.
