Please join us to hear the latest developments for e-Pedigree in pharmaceutical. After a delay of several years, serialization of pharma products at the item level is mandated by 2015. Speakers will discuss data collection approaches using 2D bar code and passive RFID, plus strategies for sharing and exploiting data and much more:

• How best to achieve interoperability?
• End-to-end global supply chain traceability in healthcare — The GS1 Supply Chain model
• Is there a business case for RFID at the item level? At the case or pallet level?
• Barriers and limitations today? RFID tag costs, reliance upon inference, implementation difficulties, sharing data . . . . .
• Is there resistance to serialization and enhanced visibility solutions? Why?

Speakers:

Bob Celeste, Director of Healthcare at GS1 US
Margot Drees, Director, Corporate Strategy at GHX
Mark Roberti, Founder and Editor of RFID Journal
Mike Rose, Vice President, Johnson & Johnson
Steve Tadevich, Director, Product Serialization Technologies, McKesson
