RFID for drug authentication

Medicines, like any other product, are faked. But if fake clothes and shoes do not cause serious harm to the consumer, then counterfeit medicines cause harm to health and even lead to death.

As noted in Roszdravnadzor, death from fake drugs is among the top ten causes of death. “Specialists even introduced a special term – “pharmaceutical crime”, since the scale of this disaster is growing every year,” the department notes.

According to the International Anti-Counterfeiting Coalition, the use of RFID technology is the most effective way to detect counterfeit products.

Tasks solved:

1. Protection of products from fakes at the level of a single package / bottle

2. Automation of tracking the movement of each unit of goods from the moment of production to the moment of sale to the end consumer

3. Delivery tracking on-line

4. Drug authentication at each stage of the supply chain

5. Automatic generation of supporting documentation

6. Monitoring the activities of distributors (protection against cross-selling)

RFID tag

During the manufacturing process, each pharmaceutical product unit is marked with an RFID tag with a unique identifier, with which the system tracks movements and determines the authenticity of the drug.

If necessary, the label can be integrated into the product label, taking into account the graphic and text elements of the label, as well as the specific operating conditions of the marked object.
