Tuesday, November 14, 2006

Impinj, which makes UHF RFID chips, said its pharmaceutical manufacturing demo proved new doesn’t mean slow.

In pharmaceutical manufacturing and fill-line demonstrations at the RFID Health Care Industry Adoption Summit, a near-field UHF Gen 2 RFID “solution” made of Impinj’s Speedway™ reader and O-I’s item-level embedded RFID tags (powered by Impinj’s Monza™ chips) achieved 100 percent reliability when reading and writing tags at high speed on pharmaceutical bottles.

In the first demo, the UHF Gen 2 system programmed 96-bit EPC numbers at rates exceeding 600 tags per minute on bottles containing the four most common dose types – liquids, gel caps, solids and powder. In the second demonstration, the system developed by Impinj and O-I flawlessly read 600 tags per minute on cases containing 48 individually tagged bottles and a case-level tag.
