Implementing RFID...

I am doing an actual project for work that we are looking at coming up with an inventory system to track and... keep inventory of tons of items in several places. I figure that RFID might be easier than a barcode system but since this is local government cost is an issue. Has anyone implemented RFID? Who did you use? How much did it cost? etc.

 
I don't implement RFID from a systems perspective, I design RFID based systems, and I also teach the protocols and electronics behind RFID. I can probably help somewhat - but I guess you're more of an end user.
 
bar code scanning is cheaper than RFID...

everyhting else is the same in the back end...

SQL Database with crystal reports for querying and reporting.
 
With RFID would I not have to actually scan every item, but instead just do a wireless check on all items to see what was missing etc?
 
RFID actual scanning range is rougly 3 feet unless you buy higher powered equipment.
We implemented 1/2 barcode and 1/2 rfid for our IT inventory at penndot.
 
I actually did an entire project for my senior project in college about implementing RFID. We worked with a heat treating company to move from barcoding to RFID, since the workers were not scanning the product orders. We are in turn placing RFID tags on every product order and placing readers at key points of interest in the manufacturing process.

We are using the 915MHz standard with Gen2 dual-dipole tags. You can have the readers strength adjusted, max about 20 feet, but we are going to adjust down to about a foot.
