First, the program background
Drugs are a special product. Apart from some medicines mainly based on health care and nutrition, the main role of medicines is to cure diseases and save people. The problem of "difficulty in seeing a doctor and expensive medical treatment" has been raised in various conferences and meetings in recent years, and the drug reform among them has received much attention.
The virtual high of drug prices is the focus of everyone's attention. In the biggest forced market of drugs, under the lure of profit, the fakes in medicines are not only the natural enemies of drug manufacturers, but also make consumers frightened when buying drugs, what kind of anti-counterfeiting methods are used and if the market is eliminated The fakes on the market are a major proposition that the pharmaceutical industry and even the entire pharmaceutical industry are constantly exploring.
Second, the program objectives
1) Tracking of the pharmaceutical supply process
The system can record and track the operation of pharmaceutical products in real time, accurately and completely, and can comprehensively and efficiently strengthen the management from the production, transportation, and sales of products, and provide various easy-to-use queries, statistics, data analysis, etc. Features.
2) Effective anti-counterfeiting function
In the sales process of medicine, since it is impossible to open the package on the spot to check its authenticity, this provides an opportunity for the counterfeiter. However, the information in the electronic label attached can be used to clearly understand the site, year, date of manufacture, composition and other information of the drug, and realize the anti-counterfeiting identification function of the drug.
3) Warehousing management of medicine
Paste electronic labels on each bottle of medicine, record the location, product category, date and other data. You can always grasp the status of the goods, the quality of the medicine, etc. according to the unique code of each product, so that the warehouse management can also be immediately understood. Projects that need replenishment are convenient for out-of-stock management. Moreover, in the case of returning goods, as long as it is poured into the system, the data can be modified.
Third, the system architecture
The RFID RFID supply chain information platform built with RFID technology can realize real-time tracking and supervision of drugs in production, distribution, distribution and retail. Because RFID electronic tags have the characteristics of large storage capacity, fast transmission speed, non-counterfeit, and concurrent recognition, the RFID tag can be attached to a single medical product through the support of the supply chain platform database, so that it can be reliably real-time in the tag. Record drug-related supply chain information for real-time pharmaceutical supply chain supervision. Specific key data for the supply chain can be traced back to the process of the supply chain from the time the drug is shipped, and then to the patient through the retailer or hospital.
The relevant regulatory authorities can achieve market regulation and supervision through verification and statistics of data; doctors and patients can also ensure the safety of medication by reading the data information stored in the label; while pharmaceutical companies realize drug anti-counterfeiting and improve operational efficiency. At the same time, you can also use the sharing of data information such as warehousing and circulation within the supply chain to improve work efficiency and collaboration.
The use of RFID medical anti-counterfeiting technology can prevent counterfeit products from flowing into the sales market, control product quality, sales personnel supervision and management, formulate reasonable service strategies, strengthen control over the market, guide enterprise product design positioning and improve the timeliness of business decisions.
Fourth, the program operation process
The use of RFID technology will optimize the production, circulation and sales of the entire pharmaceutical product, and can instantly obtain accurate information flow, improve monitoring during the circulation process, effectively realize anti-counterfeiting, and prevent counterfeit drugs from entering the market.
1) As a manufacturer of pharmaceuticals, pharmaceutical companies are responsible for attaching RFID tags to pharmaceutical packaging. Drug RFID electronic tags are divided into two types, one is the HF tag attached to the small drug box of each sales unit, and the other is the UHF tag attached to the packaging carton.
2) Circulating related units (including pharmaceutical wholesale enterprises, pharmaceutical retail enterprises, medical institutions) are equipped with dedicated RFID identifiable reading and writing machines. The pharmaceutical business enterprise conducts the product authenticity identification and the circulation information writing operation in the product warehousing department.
3) The drug supervision department can use the hand-held (portable) identifiable reading and writing machine to carry out on-site inspection and identification of the drug in the warehouse and the drugs on sale.
4) Manage the registration of identity and the issuance of digital certificates for pharmaceutical manufacturers, drug circulation enterprises, pharmaceutical retail enterprises, and medical institutions. The tools used by companies and institutions are also certified and managed through appropriate mechanisms.
5) When a consumer purchases a medicine in a hospital or a pharmacy, the consumer can authenticate the medicine through the identifiable reading/writing machine or the self-service identification terminal of the hospital or the pharmacy.
6) The application software of the platform is connected with the information system of the pharmaceutical manufacturing enterprise, the wholesale enterprise, the retail enterprise, the medical institution, etc. through the data interface to realize data exchange. The complete drug circulation record was collected on the platform to realize circulation supervision and Internet authenticity inquiry.
Security check and sales management
1) Dealers and retailers are equipped with handsets to verify the authenticity of drugs
The sale of medicine is the most important part of the anti-counterfeiting link. Most fake medicines enter the circulation of medicine through loopholes in the sales process. It can be stipulated that pharmaceutical dealers must be equipped with a hand-held machine, and the medicines that are sent must be inspected to ensure that no counterfeit drugs are mixed in. At the same time, sales of high-end medicines are often sold through large shopping malls, supermarkets, specialty stores, etc. The handset can be rented to test the authenticity of the medicine. As a consumer, when purchasing medicine, it has the right to require the retailer to use the handheld device to check the authenticity of the medicine on the spot. If the data can be read successfully, it means that if the data in the label cannot be read, the consumer can refuse to purchase.
2) Medicine establishment inquiry agency
The electronic tag data processed by the reader/writer will be recorded in the server. The data processing system cross-links the Web query system. The dealer, retailer or medical purchaser can query the ID number of the electronic tag through the communication network to identify the authenticity of the drug.
