RFID Technology Helps Drug Management

At present, the pharmaceutical industry is currently facing the problem of the proliferation of counterfeit and inferior drugs. Some lawless elements are driven by interests to create counterfeit drugs, which threaten people's lives when they take them. With the rapid development of RFID technology, the medical industry in many cities has begun to apply RFID technology. Many hospitals have begun to use RFID handheld reader for ward inspections, and most importantly, RFID technology and handheld terminal products are It has also played a huge role in drug anti-counterfeiting, tracking and supply chain management.
Using RFID technology, when the drug is shipped from the factory, the RFID tag is attached to the drug package, which becomes an inseparable part of the drug. The RFID tag carries all the information. The principle of RFID used for anti-counterfeiting in commodity anti-counterfeiting is to identify the product (The ID), ie the security code (which is encrypted by hardware or software algorithms) is traced and managed through the system management platform, from the supply chain process that the drug subsequently undergoes, and finally to the patient through the retailer or hospital.

Each Ethernet RFID reader can be connected to the server via GPRS or network, and can effectively record and monitor in production, warehousing, logistics and final sales. The RFID tag is the identity card of the drug, and the product identification number (ID), that is, the security code (encrypted by software or hardware algorithm) is written in the RFID chip. This ID is unique in production and storage. In the warehousing and logistics links, including the final sale, although the number of times to collect information is large, the remote RFID reader can be used for non-contact remote identification, so that data can be collected efficiently. Reduce the complexity of manual statistics and queries. Through RFID technology, we can prevent counterfeiting and sales, and improve the handling capacity of accidents. The application of RFID and handheld terminals in drug management supervision still has a large market space.

Public Hospital in Zhejiang Accelerates the Upgrade of RFID Material Management Solutions

A few days ago, the General Office of the Zhejiang Provincial Government released the "Implementation Plan for Promoting the High-Quality Development of Public Hospitals in Zhejiang Province", which clearly stated that "the operation mode has shifted from extensive management to refined management" and "doing reasonable use of medicines, monitoring of medical consumables and medical core data”, which put forward new requirements for the management mode of consumables in public hospitals. In 2019, the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhejiang University College of Medicine introduced the SPD model for hospital ma terial management . The "smart update" was carried out on the previous SPD model. The hospital fully combined the latest technological means such as the Internet of Things, robots, artificial intelligence, big data, and image recognition to create a new "IF-SPD" model. The overall construction of "IF-SPD" inc...

Introduction of UHF RFID Reader System

  There are four important components to make up a UHF RFID system, the host computer, the reader, the antenna and the electronic label. The host computer sends a command to the reader, the reader turns on the RF module to send UHF signals under the control of the host computer commands, a magnetic field is created around the RFID tag by means of an antenna. When the magnetic field is strong enough, the chip circuit inside of the tag is activated, then the tag carries information is loaded into the electromagnetic wave and returned to the reader. The reader receives and converts the data information, then processed by the upper computer, complete the process of acquiring electronic tag information. Host computer The UHF RFID reader requires the host computer to issue control instructions which can start the reader to send RF signals, the reader receives the signal returned by the tag also needs to be processed and stored by the host computer that can achieve the n...

What is the Difference Between HF and UHF RFID Technology

From the perspective of technological development, high-frequency technology is relatively mature than UHF technology. Through continuous improvement and improvement, a learning curve model for high-frequency tag production, data protocol sharing, and the basis for constructing RFID applications has also been established. Both high frequency and ultra high frequency RFID systems rely heavily on the communication environment between the RFID reader and the tag. UHF uses the principle of electromagnetic emission and is therefore more susceptible to electromagnetic interference. At the same time, the metal will reflect the signal, and the water will absorb the signal, all of which will interfere with the normal function of the tag. The International Organization for Standardization/International Electrotechnical Commission established the ISO/IEC, 15693 standard in 1999 to regulate the implementation of high frequency radio frequency identification technology.
