RFID Supply Chain Management

Automated Inventory Management and Reliable Processes

Medicines, containers, consumables, and equipment provided with RFID-Labels can optimize and professionalize inventory management in pharma industry settings. The labels are suitable for automatic and contactless reading, create transparency of inventory levels, and supply information such as expiration dates etc. The labels attached to the product are automatically read and fully documented at the various stations - one of the key advantages of RFID in supply chain management. RFID-Sensor-Labels enable digital monitoring of container integrity and first-opening or tampering attempts.

When RFID functionality is integrated into the product label right from the beginning, additional manual processes such as subsequent application of the RFID tag to the product at the hospital can be avoided later - simplifying pharmaceutical warehouse management. As a result, the costs of the total solution to the end user can be recovered faster—and patient protection is priceless anyway.

Use Case Example

Medication Management in Hospital Settings

Medicines equipped with RFID-Labels support healthcare professionals in hectic daily hospital settings. Inventories can be monitored and availability ensured all the way from the hospital pharmacy to the patient’s bedside. This presupposes that the RFID-Labels as well as the pharmaceutical inventory software and hardware are perfectly matched—as in the case of Bluesight and Schreiner MediPharm.
