“…Main barriers are: (i) hardware technology current weaknesses (Catarinucci et al, 2010) (e.g. data reliability, read rate in critical conditions, lack of unified standard for interoperability), (ii) software weakness (Barchetti et al, 2010) (e.g. scalability, single-point of failure, integration with information systems), (iii) relatively high costs of tags, software customization and systems integration, (iv) security issues (Staake et al, 2005;Mirowski et al, 2009), (v) lack of scientific literature on the evaluation of potential effects of RFID exposure on molecular structure and potency of drugs (Acierno et al, 2010).…”
