PragmatIC partners with Schreiner MediPharm

‘PragmatIC’s unique technologies will enable us to add connectivity and intelligence to a much wider range of products than was previously possible’, said Dr Thomas Schweizer, president of Schreiner MediPharm. ‘We are developing innovative smart labels for packaging and multiple device types that will improve usability and safety for both patients and healthcare professionals.’

The use of RFID in the pharmaceutical industry offers a variety of applications through the assignment of a unique ID, which is practically non-reproducible. This technology enables secure identification and traceability of individual products in devices and processes. However, due to the cost, it mainly has been adopted in high value use cases.

The new technology developed by PragmatIC, named ConnectIC, delivers RFID systems at the lowest cost point in a form of ultra-thin and flexible tags, which makes them suitable for embedding into a wide range of substrates used by Schreiner MediPharm.

‘This partnership with Schreiner MediPharm highlights how our groundbreaking ConnectIC product line is set to accelerate the deployment of RFID-based digital solutions in the healthcare sector’ commented Scott White, CEO of PragmatIC. ‘We are really pleased to see the adoption of our technology by leading global suppliers like Schreiner MediPharm and look forward to working closely with them to develop new use cases for their products.’
