Abstract
RFID technology is mainstream in retail where apparel is tracked and inventory is managed with digital reader systems. All items at e.g. Walmart, Nordstrom and H&M are equipped with an RFID tag. Thus, warehouse managers and sales staff have full visibility on the movement and availability of items. The pharma industry is starting to follow this trend.
