Sun Offers Item-Level RFID for Pharmaceuticals

"Sun Microsystems Inc. on Monday will roll out its second RFID solution in as many weeks, targeting the latest offering at item-level use for fighting counterfeiting in the pharmaceutical field. Along with partners Raining Data Corp. and SupplyScape, Sun will demo the new RFID Solution for Drug Authentication at this week's HIAS (Healthcare Industry Adoption Summit) show, said Vivek Khandelwal, senior product manager for Sun's RFID Business Unit, during a briefing. Ultimately, the combined solution is tailored to a set of recommendations issued by the federal Food and Drug Administration last May that call upon the pharmaceutical industry to establish "electronic pedigrees" for end-to-end drug tracking in the supply chain."
