1. A method utilizing a tag with embedded RF-enabled chip comprising the steps of:
providing an apparel body of a cloth material, having at least one clothing layer enclosing a limb cavity and having an inner surface and an outer surface opposing the inner surface;
providing a RF tag layup with a group consisting of a first tag layer and a second tag layer, wherein the first tag layer is made of a polymeric adhesive material directly coupled to the apparel body and the second tag layer with an outer surface exposed to an ambient environment and with an inner surface, opposing the outer surface of the second tag layer, directly coupled to the first tag layer to encapsulate and define, in a watertight configuration, a chip cavity with an electronic chip disposed on a flexible adhesive-backed sticker disposed in the chip cavity and compressed by the first and second tag layer preventing the electronic chip from moving and having a non-transitory memory storage operably configured to store digital data thereon representing a digital door access code, and a data transmitter operably configured to wirelessly transfer the stored digital data through an electronic communication protocol and using radio waves;
providing a data reader operably configured to receive the digital data stored on the non-transitory memory storage of the electronic chip;
providing an electronic door lock utilized by a door operably configured to open, close and lock, the electronic door lock communicatively coupled to an electronic controller having the data reader communicatively coupled thereto;
storing digital data on the non-transitory memory storage of the electronic chip;
utilizing the data reader to receive the digital data from the non-transitory memory storage of the electronic chip and authenticate the digital door access code; and
initiating the electronic door lock with the electronic controller upon authentication of the digital door access code received from the digital data stored on the electronic chip.
