Do individual items need to be tagged with RFID?
In supply-chain applications, it is usually not practical to use RFID tags for individual items unless the items are particularly valuable. Normally, RFID tags are only used at the pallet and case levels. It is likely that at some point tags will be used on most individual products, although it is estimated that it could be at least 5 years before the cost of tags becomes low enough to cost-justify individual item usage.
