Upcoming track-and-trace requirements by individual states for the pharmaceutical supply chain, such as California in 2015, as well as higher-level electronic-pedigree obligations, have encouraged many drug companies to explore supply chain solutions based on RFID technologies. The existence of a large number of different system parameters with significant effects on the performance of an RFID implementation, however, creates a challenge for companies in identifying the optimal system setup with minimal supply chain disruption. In this session, find out how the University of South Florida Polytechnic employed an analytical approach to help a pharmaceutical firm improve the efficiency of its RFID implementation for a challenging product.
