However, its use in healthcare has been sporadic, and implementation of RFID is challenging if global standards aren’t used.

JJSC received a request from a hospital for a customer-specific RFID tag on products. The RFID team quickly launched a rapid test-and-learn cycle to prove technical and business feasibility and explored existing system connections to provide a globally accessible serialised tracking solution. JJSC also took the opportunity to implement standardisation utilising GS1 standards.
