Gas prices and healthcare packaging
Gas prices continue to climb. A good survival strategy for truckers is waiting for trailer loads to be full before hauling. Unless, of course, the trailer contains sensitive pharmaceuticals. Clearly, the implications are that the packaging of temperature- and humidity-sensitive drugs and the monitoring of their shipping conditions are becoming key issues. Sandy Cook, engineer and president of Thermal Packaging Solutions, an independent consulting firm in New Jersey, agrees. Cook is seeing changes brought on by the high cost of transportation in general. He has been asked to look into shipping pharmaceutical products by ocean-going vessels, a slow, but cost-effective method for United States suppliers to make the product in Europe or Asia and transport it back to the U.S. for sale.

Insights into pharma and RFID frequencies, and RFID's 'Project Jumpstart' shortcomings
Shahram Moradpour, CEO of RFID consultancy Cleritec, notes, "There are a lot of pharmaceutical companies leaning toward high frequency (HF)," referring to 13.56 MHz radio waves. "HF can often be a better solution than current UHF technology for item-level tagging. A drug manufacturer isn't as concerned about a $1 RFID tag on bottled medicine that costs dozens of dollars. It's more important for them to track the pedigree of the product." Speaking of frequencies, ultra-high frequency (868 MHz to 915 MHz) shortcomings (such as low read rates) were uncovered during the Project Jumpstart pilot, conducted by pharmaceutical stalwarts such as Pfizer, Abbott Laboratories, and Cardinal Health.
