[ad_1]
On March 13, 2014, the Shanghai-Honeywell (NYSE: HON) Scanning and Mobile Technology Department announced that it will provide more than 140,000 barcode scanners and mobile data terminals for the Chinese health sector. These equipment will help the health departments of eight provinces to accurately track and supervise the circulation of medicines in real time, thereby improving the safety of medicines in the public health system.
In recent years, the Chinese government has continuously strengthened the supervision of the circulation and use of drugs to reduce the risks caused by improper drug management. Nowadays, the country vigorously promotes the application of “drug electronic supervision code”, so that each drug is given a unique identification barcode similar to “electronic ID card”. In this way, various regulatory departments and medical institutions can track and record the circulation of drugs in real time through barcode scanning, and can quickly search and access drug information in the network information system, such as manufacturers, distributors, date of sale, date of manufacture, and circulation Historical information, etc. In the event of any medication accidents, the regulatory authorities can quickly trace and recall the drugs through the production date and batch of the drugs.
The barcode scanner and mobile computer provided by Honeywell (including Voyager® 1400g image-basedBarcode scanner, MS5145 handheld laser scanner and ScanPal 5100 portable mobile terminal, etc.) will be put into use in the health departments of eight provinces. Thanks to excellent scanning performance, excellent ergonomic design and comfortable and convenient use experience, these products surpass competitors and become the first choice of users. More importantly, although the current electronic drug supervision codes still use one-dimensional codes, since the two-dimensional codes can store richer medical information, the future will be the trend of medical industry applications. It is worth mentioning that the Honeywell Voyager® 1400g image-based barcode scanner can easily upgrade from one-dimensional code reading to two-dimensional code reading equipment without returning to the original factory, thus saving users’ secondary purchase costs. It is an ideal solution for customers to face future application trends.
Mr. Chai Xiaozhou, General Manager of the Greater China Region of Honeywell’s Scanning and Mobile Technology Department, said: “The implementation of electronic drug regulatory codes is an important measure of the Chinese government to ensure public health and safety. Honeywell is very honored to be selected as a device by the Chinese health department. Suppliers. We are very pleased to help the Chinese government, pharmaceutical manufacturers, distributors and professionals in the medical industry to track the circulation and application of medicines more efficiently and accurately, and escort China’s public health system and smart city medical construction. “
