Branding gave way to physical plastic tags mounted on the animals in holes made in their ears specifically for this purpose, Though! identification was still done manually.This was the situation for cattle and other commercially raised animals and there was no system however for pets too.Therefore pet owners always had problems when it came to identifying lost pets.

Each item to be protected is tagged with an RFID anti-theft tag, so those tags can be re-used in many cases.The tag is typically attached by a strong string or a plastic band or by other means (similar to a price tag, sometimes it is the price tag), to the item (say for example an umbrella).

Presently many assets are still tagged by labels, steel plates or have numbers painted onto them but the confusion prevails. In the recent past many progressive companies have some sort of automatic identification systems like bar codes in place, but they may not cover all assets, or the paste-on tags themselves get lost, dirty or otherwise damaged.

1. IATA may make it mandatory for all airlines/airports to install RFID reader systems & tags by a certain date.
    
2. The government & security agencies may also mandate that all airports install this kind of system.
    
3. The newer airlines or airports who are upgrading to newer control & automation systems may provide facilities for having both barcode as well as RFID tag identification systems for baggage handling.
