Plus it provides no visual identification system so they'd likely have to still do something visual as well.
Depends on the situation. The RFID tags run under $5 a piece in bulk the reader(s) we use are in the $300 range, but they are also used for other items besides the safety equipment. So for the price of a basic bike you can track the entire fleet, if you choose. If the system is set up and maintained correctly you can tie all types of information to a single RFID tag, things like who it was issued to, when it was purchased, when it was last serviced, recalls become easier, etc, etc. BTW the tags we use are rated for extreme conditions ie; outside job sites, with temperature extremes as well as being completely submersible. There are a lot of different readers available too.
