RFID in UAE jewellery stores

"Damas is trialing radio frequency identification (RFID) technology in its stores in the UAE, prior to a global rollout. The jeweller is using RFID tags to cut inventory costs and make it easier to guard against theft. Dubai-based company The Jewellery Store (TJS), which was set up this year by Damas and three other firms, has created the RFID tags. Each RFID tag contains a unique identification number which, when scanned by a reader, is transmitted to an inventory database which runs on a standard PC in the store. The database contains detailed information on each piece of jewellery and by passing the reader over any number of items a stock check is carried out in minutes." Source: itp.net
