I am personally against anything rfid, though
I think the concept is interesting and something I would like to explore from a manufacturing perspective. There are very low power RF tags that are embedded/installed in a variety of manufactured goods. Knowing where something is on a shop floor or eliminating the need for a shop station/employee to type information into a terminal would improve productivity and accuracy.
This is a very good use of this technology, especially for parts that you can't bar-code. There is significant material handling overhead when inventory flows from station to station. Also, this kind of thing can inform you of what a particular station is supposed to do with the item (route it for P90s, or put a bengal burst on it), and which station it's to go to next.
It's pretty groovy.
