This white paper discusses the application of Radio-frequency identification (RFID) technology in pharmaceutical manufacturing, focusing on its role in enhancing drug safety, improving supply chain efficiency, and ensuring regulatory compliance. The document outlines the challenges faced by manufacturers, including the complexities of tracking works in progress (WIP) and inventory levels, as well as the need for compliance with strict regulations. It details how RFID devices facilitate real-time tracking and tracing of pharmaceutical products, which helps mitigate issues related to counterfeit drugs and inventory management. The paper also highlights the integration of RFID with temperature sensors to monitor cold chain conditions for sensitive drugs. Furthermore, it explains how RFID technology can streamline supply chain operations, reduce human error, and provide a secure method for tracking and verifying drug authenticity, ultimately enhancing patient safety and operational efficiency within the industry.
