RFID for Medical Device Applications
RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) solutions for medical device applications provide a number of
benefits including a complete track and trace solution. By augmenting existing bar code technology with
RFID the manufacturer can create an electronic “pedigree” for every product. An electronic pedigree
contains a full account of how a specific product moves through the supply chain to the customer,
identifying unique information such as serial number, lot number and expiration date. The benefits
of RFID technology to the medical device sector includes increased brand protection through anti-
counterfeiting technology, improved operational efficiencies and improved data accuracy and integrity.
Direct Part Marking Solutions
Tracking individual components or simply tagging valuable assets can be a costly proposition when standard
product labelling techniques fail to measure up over time. Direct Part Marking (DPM) provides a permanent
marking solution that ensures readability throughout the life of your asset or products, even when subjected
to harsh environments. The most common methods of marking are Laser-etching, Dot peening, Ink-jet
and Chemical-etching and the method of etching is dependant on the material to be marked, the required
lifespan, accessibility of area to be marked etc. VisionID technicians can advise on best permanent marking

4. THE WAREHOUSE
Mobile devices are an essential tool for today’s modern
warehouse and combine a mixture of handheld computers and
wearable technology.
The medical device warehouse is a busy place with large
volumes of data being processed and an emphasis on speed,
control and accuracy. The key to a healthy supply chain is
real-time, total visibility solutions that effectively manage all
of the integrated operations that are required on a daily basis.
Inbound goods must be processed quickly, with pertinent data
being recorded and then sent to the warehouse management
system. Outbound finished goods must be loaded and shipped
according to the shipping order, and pallet data is again
captured and transmitted to the warehouse management
system.
