RFID
in the Pharmaceutical Industry and Healthcare
30
billion RFID tags will be needed each year to track drugs. Increasingly
through legislation (e.g. from the FDA) and the need to reduce
counterfeits and gray markets, pharmaceutical companies are piloting
and committing to using RFID. Massive opportunities also exist for RFID in healthcare. Hear the challenges and potential
for RFID in this market.
The Florida pedigree law will be effective from July 1, 2006. At this time, there are still many issues to be resolved before a complete rules and regulations can be written. This presentation will discuss some of the difficulties facing in writing a pedigree law which can improve patient safety.

Whether
contactless cards for ticketing or tagging airline baggage, RFID
is increasingly being deployed in open, global transportation
systems. Learn from early adopters about what they have done,
the results they have had and what they need.
RFID for contactless payments is of increasing interest to banks
and stores for low cost impulse buys. In addition, cellular phone
companies are now combining the technology with their phones for
payments and communications, enabling new markets. This has also
caught the interest of appliance companies.
