Pharmaceutical medications can present one of the most complex scenarios for RFID tagging, especially those destined for hospital systems. Many are small, made from glass, contain liquid, and may even be enclosed in foil. These unique characteristics can detune RFID antennas, leading to diminished or non-existent performance once the vials or syringes are filled with medication. This has been a significant barrier to RFID growth in healthcare, but that’s where UnitVisID steps in.
The UnitVisID Alliance: Collaboration to Overcome Challenges
UnitVisID isn’t just another industry group; we’re an alliance driven by a mission to improve RFID tag medication performance within hospital systems. Encompassing inlay manufacturers, RFID and automation technology providers, pharmaceutical manufacturers, label converters, third-party testing labs, and hospital systems, this alliance is more than the sum of its parts.
This collaboration of RFID industry leaders and early adopters focuses on developing innovative solutions to the unique challenges in healthcare and hospital systems. The aim? To create a future where true RFID interoperability is not just a dream but a standard feature across hospital systems.
