WHAT: With the FDA evaluating RFID for its promising
track-and-trace capabilities and Wal-Mart requiring its Class
2 drug suppliers to employ the technology by April 2004,
pharmaceutical suppliers are adopting RFID in record numbers.
The success of RFID initiatives to secure the pharmaceutical
supply chain and prevent drug counterfeiting, contamination
and diversion will depend on how well pharmaceutical companies
are able to integrate the technology into existing enterprise
systems and business processes.
At the Pharmaceutical RFID Conference, Dave Harty, director
of research and development at Acsis, Inc., will address the
most critical RFID integration issues. In his presentation,
"Strategies for RFID Systems Integration," Harty will provide
an overview of the full spectrum of infrastructure
requirements and integration considerations necessary to
implement successful RFID systems. Harty will offer insight on
total cost calculations, design decisions and software
capabilities and provide a roadmap to avoid common RFID
pitfalls.
