Garments are inserted with wireless electromagnetic fields to transfer data for the purpose of automatically identifying and tracking tags attached to objects and various inventory control programs to make maintenance and tracking easier for operators. “RFID has changed and is changing the way our customers inventory issue garments,” Benton said. “In the future we would like to offer a garment where the user could press a button and change the color or even the style.” Reprinted with permission of Casino Journal Galaxy Macau’s gaming floor waitresses were colorfully dressed when the property first opened in 2011
