Back in the late 1980s I worked (indirectly) for a clothing rental place and looked at RFID tags to replace the barcodes that were iused to track individual garments.
Barcodes are not ideal on something that is flexible and gets cleaned a lot, but RFID was discarded as a solution then.
My point is that RFID tags have had over 30 years in the market. If they were a better general solution than barcodes, they would be everywhere.
