    Walmart requires drug manufacturers to install all Class2 EPC labels on drugs, and then sent to various Walmart distribution center. The company hopes to reduce radio frequency identification technology to track the drug lengthy period of time.

    Zebra also agree FDA, with high-tech fight against counterfeit medicines.

    CapgeminiConsultancy company established a global research center frequency identification, the purpose is a set of programs developed for the pharmaceutical industry, using the latest technology to completely eliminate counterfeit. Radio frequency identification software vendors SupplyScape joined them, ready to provide an open and safe environment for the research platform of RFID security application testing. Recently, Sun software companies and ADT Security Systems also joined.

    MckessonCompany under a distribution center in New Jersey also implement an investment of $ 3 million project aims to detect and never formal channels into the market of drugs.

    Pharmacy purchase has a special distribution channels, when found in the distribution channels are not stored or location tag system will automatically alarm, radio frequency identification technology leader in Accenture's research partner Hintlian said. He believes that although manufacturers will only radio frequency identification for some demand for larger, more likely to be counterfeit drugs, but by 2007, the use of radio frequency identification will be very popular.

    In the Anti-Counterfeit Drug Initiative public meeting, Mr. Kontnik believes cooperation has played a fundamental role. Radio Frequency Identification Can play its role in the pharmaceutical industry, depends on whether between research institutions, pharmaceutical manufacturers, vendors, etc. communicate with each other, cooperate with each other.
