When i went to the gitex 2007 i asked many company that deals with point of sales that they were showing the RFID solution for jewellery shops . They didnt recommend me to take the system because the RFID tag cost about 1$ which was costly comparing to barcode label even if i can recycle the tags in case RFID .

When i came back to kuwait also asking some companies about the RFID solution they said to me it is still under testing here in kuwait (not there yet) .
