The reporter learned a few days ago that in order to combat counterfeiting, pharmaceutical companies such as Pfizer in New York, Glaxo Smith Kline (GSK) in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, etc., all use RFID technology to complete further product tracking and exact product identification.
Pfizer intends to attach RFID packaging to the packaging box and retail packaging of a health medicine produced by the company at the end of 2005. The initial cost of the label is estimated to be several million US dollars. GSK plans to have RFID tags on at least one product before mid-2006. RFID tags have been installed with various hidden or visible security devices, such as holograms. Pfizer sometimes specifies color-changing inks and unique computer bar codes that make it difficult to copy.
