We have a (sadly non-VMS) project that is now 3+ years old which has used
RFID since the beginning. It permits our client to add significant value
to their customers for not a lot of effort and in this case since the
application of RFID is rather unique, it is of true competitive advantage.
Unfortunately we are under non-disclosure so I cannot say any more than
this.
