The Mallorca-based blood bank is deploying an RFID system from Aifos Solutions, including EPC Gen 2 tags and readers from Alien Technology, to track bags of blood and its derivatives—from donor to hospital.

The system takes advantage of passive tags already embedded in student IDs, to automate what is currently a manual process, saving time for instructors of large classes.

Participating hunters are applying RFID tags to animals harvested in the field, in order to improve traceability and the recording of health-related information.

The system, developed at Bombay Veterinary College, combines RFID and cell-phone technologies to track data related to cow and water buffalo health in small farms.
