Fewer mistakes.
Drawbacks:

Barcode technology
Barcode technology is similar to RFID in its use - assets marking and tracking, but differs in approach. Barcode technology is based on visual information (usually, parallel bars of certain thickness and at certain distances from each other). Barcode can be read using optical lasers.
Benefits:
It is a standard for assets tracking throughout the world;
Fewer mistakes;
Data collection automatization;
Easily implemented.
