Drugco Discount Pharmacy has deployed a system from Suncrest Solutions and EZ-RFID that includes a light stick stored with each prescription order, which illuminates for drugstore employees to make the search for a particular order fast and easy.

North Carolina drug retailer Drugco Discount Pharmacy is the first mainland U.S.-based drugstore to employ an RFID light stick for pharmacy will-call. The system, provided by Suncrest Solutions in partnership with EZ-RFID, automates the retrieval process for prescription drugs when customers arrive at the counter to pick them up. The system, known as HangRx p-link, is designed to eliminate the need for drugstore employees to sift through bags of prescriptions searching for the correct one for a specific customer. By using passive ultrahigh-frequency (UHF) RFID, the system instead triggers a light stick to illuminate inside in a clear, plastic, hanging bag, leading workers to the right medication.
