RxSafe's Machines Use RFID to Automatically Dispense Medications

RxSafe, a provider of automated medication storage and retrieval systems for pharmacies, is offering a new line of prescription packaging machines, known as RxASP, that employ high-frequency (HF) 13.56 MHz passive RFID tags to avoid mistakes involving the storage or dispensing of medications in plastic pouches or packets that are provided to patients. RxSafe was founded in 2008, in San Diego, to develop and sell systems to pharmacies that would enable a faster, more efficient and controlled method for dispensing medication.
