RF tags are particularly useful for high value items that move around. Rental equipment, service items and vehicles will automatically register themselves in and out as they are taken off the premises and returned. RF tags have saved large amounts of money where large items are stored in yards where they are difficult to count and/or locate.

RF tags are also used to track livestock, which moves around on its own and can be difficult to tell from any other animal of the same type.

RF tags embedded in "house credit cards" are being used by some restaurants. When a holder of one of these cards enters the restaurant, the host's screen automatically pops up information on the customer, including things like spouse's birthday date, and other important stuff before the customer is even greeted (by name, of course).
