[Robotgroup] RFID uses

[Michael Boswell]

If your target market was professional movers then system like you describe
could give one company a competitive advantage over other "low Tech'
companies.  If I were to hire someone to move me from one house to another
and one company said that when I arrived at the new house I would get an
RFID wand and a CD that listed my packed inventory and location by Box  that
might be very appealing.
