LAKE FOREST, CA -- (MARKET WIRE) -- November 9, 2006 -- With 129 pharmaceutical retailers including
Wal-Mart Stores Inc., CVS Corp., Safeway Stores and SuperValu Inc.
potentially affected by today's recall of 11 million bottles of
acetaminophen, the need for RFID technology in the retail pharmacy has
never been clearer. Item-level inventory tracking based on RFID technology
offers retailers unprecedented automated recall management capabilities to
speed the efficiency and accuracy of drug recalls.
Item-level RFID provides complete, automated visibility into the exact
location of every single bottle of pills, and any other products in a
pharmacy, enabling retailers and manufacturers to quickly pull all affected
product from the shelves and know for certain if any recalled product
remains on a store shelf.
While many leading drug retailers are currently experimenting with RFID
pilot programs, technology challenges have delayed RFID implementations in
the retail pharmacy. On Monday, Vue Technology will announce a breakthrough
in RFID technology that will make automated recall management and other
benefits of item-level tracking an immediate reality for the retail
pharmacy.
For more information on how RFID item-level technology is poised to
transform the drug recall process or to speak with Vue Technology's CEO,
