RFID technology is quickly emerging as one of the most effective
ways to increase supply chain efficiencies, protect the U.S. drug supply,
and to track & trace products.

 

Are you ready?
Nosco’s RFID package integration experts can help you analyze, acquire and implement RFID
technologies and provide you with RFID solutions incorporated into printed package components.

As an independent advisor and a member of EPCglobal, Nosco is closely following pending legislation.
While the FDA is recommending adoption and broad use of RFID by 2007, on a more immediate basis,
ten states have already enacted ePedigree legislation starting as early as July 2006. Nineteen other
states have pending legislation.


We offer a solutions based approach to the implementation of RFID technologies to ensure
you are ready. Our RFID packaging professionals can:

• Provide you with a complete RFID packaging solution. We can integrate RFID tags into
labels, Fix-a-Form multi-panel products, and folding cartons for item-level tagging, and into
labels for case and pallet applications.

• Provide you with both HF and UHF frequencies, including Gen 2.

• Help you better understand RFID though Nosco’s RFID Package Integration Consulting
Services. We ensure you have the information and technical support you need to analyze,
implement, and use RFID.


The Benefits of RFID technologies:

Supply Chain Transformation:
• Increased efficiencies for inventory control and warehouse management

• Reduced warehouse labor expenses & manual checks

• Reduced inventory stock levels

• Reduced out-of stock occurrences

• Reduced cycle times

• Improved inventory visibility and data

• Improved return credit management

• Increased inventory turns

• Increased sales

Product Security & Safety:
• Improved product containment and recall capabilities

• Improved security for pharmaceutical drugs. In addition to the RFID tag, other
security features such as serialization, color shifting ink, and taggants can be added
to the packaging to provide for multiple layers of authentication and redundancy.

• Development of an ePedigree for all drug products and devices from the point
of manufacturing to dispensing

• Reduced dispensing errors
