In this first issue of Track and Trace Insider we’ll focus on RFID, zeroing in on cost and frequency issues. Exclusive articles examine the first phase of Accenture’s JumpStart program and interview a leading electronic pedigree technology vendor, while comprehensive, technically detailed white papers address key questions:
- Rockwell Automation focuses on opportunities to realize value from RFID within the plant and warehouse
- TI, Philips and Tagsys discuss frequency options
- AIM, our content partner, offers a basic blueprint to keep in mind when launching an RFID program.
We’ll also look at the people involved in drug security: what Rudy Giuliani and his team are up to, for instance. And, did you know that noted anticounterfeiting consultant Lew Kontnik recently joined Amgen? You’ll find that information in this e-newsletter.
Future issues will cover not only RFID but all track-and-trace and drug security options, from packaging to taggant technologies. As political debate intensifies over drug importation, security will continue to be a major issue. Each month, with our partner, AIM, we will bring you the news and analysis you’ll need to stay on top of a rapidly changing world.
