RFID Internet of Things solutions provide a way to solve food and medicine safety

In the past century, the frequent occurrence of major medicine-related incidents, especially the problem of counterfeit and substandard medicines, has made mankind aware of the importance and urgency of strengthening safety supervision of marketed medicines. How to prevent counterfeit and inferior medicines and expired medicines from re-entering circulation has become an urgent need that affects medical effectiveness and safe medication.

Counterfeit medicines are generally divided into three types: 1: The box is real but the medicine inside is fake; 2: The medicine is real but the box is fake; 3: The box and medicine are both fake. Counterfeit medicines not only bring huge economic losses to people's lives, but also cause great harm to people's medical treatment, and even threaten people's lives. The broad masses of the people hate counterfeit medicines. At the same time, because the fake therapeutic effects are quite different from the genuine medicines of pharmaceutical manufacturers, or have no medical effect, or even worsen the condition, the credibility of the medicines is seriously damaged, and it also brings huge losses to pharmaceutical manufacturers. Economic losses.

Expired medicines, some of which have exceeded their validity period, have been repackaged by illegal processing workshops and re-entered the circulation process. They also cause serious harm to people's medical treatment and economy, and affect people's lives and health. Affecting the normal production and efficiency of pharmaceutical companies.

Design function

1) Unique identification of medicines.

In the pharmaceutical processing process, each package (box) of medicine is equipped with an electronic label and a unique identification code is given. The medicine administrator uses a scanner to generate a transfer instruction in the AMICOS system, and writes relevant attribute information, production information and usage information to the medicine. This operation needs to be completed during medicine processing.

2) Pharmaceutical company shipment management

When the medicine is sent from the manufacturing company to the sales place, the warehouse management system writes the shipping time, shipping location and seller-related information on the electronic tag to track and supervise the entire distribution of the medicine.

3) Pharmaceutical company production and sales management system

Systematically manage the unique identification of each box of medicines and warehouse shipping management information, and interface with the Food and medicine Administration for data sharing.

4) Food and medicine Administration management system

Obtain the medicine information of each pharmaceutical company, including the attributes of each box of medicines, production date, expiration date, factory date, distribution seller and other information. Most of the information about medicines forms a traceable data chain through the unique identification of medicines.

5) Pharmacy sales management system

The electronic information on the medicine box is read through the RFID identification device, and it is connected with the Food and medicine Administration management system to obtain the information of the medicine. After the sale, the medicine Administration Management System uploads that the box of medicine has been sold, and uploads the date of sale and the pharmacy. If the information obtained shows that this medicine has been sold, it indicates that this box of medicines is counterfeit or expired and returned. Stop selling this box of medicines and report the supplier on your own to ensure the effectiveness of the medicines.

6) Hospital pharmacy management system

Similar to the function of the pharmacy sales system, it can be connected with the Food and medicine Administration management system to confirm the legality and effectiveness of the medicines.

7) Others

Expired medicine recycling function, medicine out-of-stock alarm, purchase and delivery request, etc.

Hardware composition architecture

  Technical advantages

1) Each box of medicines is uniquely identified to ensure that the identification information is not copied or tampered with.

2) medicine traceability. Since the medicine has a unique identity and cooperates with the management system to monitor the entire process of medicine production, circulation, and sales, the entire medicine traceability data chain can be realized.

3) The electronic tag has a large data storage capacity and can Store 512 bytes of data, which meets the data recording needs of pharmaceuticals from production, processing to sales.

4) Fast recognition speed. RFID medicine management has fast scanning and can obtain thousands of pieces of information within 1 second.

5) Data storage takes a long time. The information written into the RFID tag is stored for more than 10 years, and the information can be traced for more than 10 years.

6) Reusability of medicine labels. The data information in the electronic tag can be reverse-erased more than 100,000 times to meet the needs of operations such as adding, modifying, and deleting information.

7) The information read by RFID electronic tags is penetrable and barrier-free. The item management system using electronic tags can penetrate non-metallic materials such as paper, wood and plastic to identify item attribute information.

8) High security. Since RFID tags carry electronic information, data content and operations, they can be protected by a 32-bit password to make their contents less likely to be illegally forged and altered.

Produce benefits

1) Reducing the economic losses caused by counterfeit medicine delivery companies can save hundreds of millions of economic losses caused by regular pharmaceutical companies (based on the evaluation of pharmaceutical companies in a province).

2) Prevent fake medicines from causing pain and economic losses to people. Prevent counterfeit medicines and expired medicines from entering the medical process, shorten the treatment cycle of patients and the cycle of repeated medicine use, and bring huge social and economic benefits.

3) Ensure the credibility of medicines, ensure that the medicines are regular and legal, and also ensure the therapeutic effects of the medicines, ensuring the credibility of the medicines in people's minds.

4) Reduce medical accidents caused by the return of counterfeit and expired medicines and promote social fairness and harmony.
