Purdue Pharma has announced it will integrate Impinj Gen 2 radio frequency identification (RFID) products into high-speed pharmaceutical packaging lines for improved pharmaceutical supply chain efficiency and security.

Scheduled for production-level deployment in the second quarter of 2007, Purdue Pharma's Gen 2 RFID-enabled packaging line will utilise the Impinj GrandPrix UHF RFID solution, comprising Speedway readers, tags powered by Monza chips and application-specific near-field reader antennas.

The packaging line will be certified for production readiness under SYSTECH International's TIPS Serialised Product Tracking solution that includes exhaustive tests modelling Purdue Pharma production packaging environments.

During advance testing, the Impinj-powered packaging line surpassed tag read rate requirements with 100% tag read reliability.

"We are working to implement innovative solutions that will enhance security within the supply chain," said Aaron Graham, vice president of corporate security and chief security officer at Purdue Pharma.

"The Impinj RFID technology has been selected as an integral part of our packaging line improvements to help the company establish an ePedigree process that will significantly improve the delivery of products from the factory to the pharmacy counter," Graham added.
