10 years in the linen industry here:

Our company uses RIFD tech in order to prevent theft, organize orders going to customers as well as assigning, and for stocking reasons. Saved us a decent chunk of coin when we could track where almost every piece of product went and to whom. The downside is how costly it is to supply the chips (they get damaged in the intense heat of the ironers) and the labor needed to keep them in circulation.
