In his position as system designer, Ian believes that we have gone past the limits of barcode technology. Current labelling standards, which are based upon the use of multiple barcodes mean automatic handling and reconciliation procedures cannot be introduced to any extent.

Ian is a member of the international ISBT128 RFID Task Force who are currently assessing the potential of RFID technology within the blood supply chain.
