RFID
in the Pharmaceutical Industry and Healthcare |
30
billion RFID tags will be needed each year to track drugs. Increasingly
through legislation (e.g. from the FDA) and the need to reduce

Mr Thierry Roz, Business Unit Manager
"The chip, heart of an RFID Tag: what determines its cost?"
-
The RFID world rests on the assumption that economy of scale will bring the
silicon price sufficiently down so every single product may have an RFID tag in
the end. Where are the limits of economy of scale?
-
Wafer cost, function set, feature size and assembly process impact on the chip
price. How do these aspects influence final label cost and which are the
alternatives you should consider?
-
Everyone cries for standards (ePC, ISO18000, NFC, etc). Standards and
associated IP often come with a non-negligible cost. Furthermore, standards are in
constant evolution leading to new standards. What are the costs of standards and
what are the alternatives?
