The Three Square Market (32M), based in Wisconsin, will become the first US company to implant RFID microchips in the hands of its employees.
The decision is nothing more than a media stunt, orchestrated by 32M in cooperation with BioHax, a Swedish company providing bio-friendly RFID implants microchip.
Η 32M operates in vending machines with food and snacks and recently added the ability to operate with implantable RFID microchips, allowing anyone to pay for food simply by waving their hand near one of their devices.
The company announced in this regardTo show that RFID implants are safe, the company will provide free RFID implants to all employees during a "chip party" on August 1st. The implant will be optional ".
In addition to the benefit of using food from machinery, 32M and HNUMXM BioHax say the chip has secondary benefits such as opening access doors, enabling office copiers, automatic connection with computers, unlocking phones, and even storing critical medical/health information.
32M hopes with its trick, will gather enough media attention, so other companies will look at the benefits of implants to employees.
The benefit to 32M will be that once companies adopt RFID implants - for whatever reason - they will be able to push their RFID-accessible machines into their offices.
RFID implants work with technology similar to NFC (Near-Field Communications) used by today's intact payment cards. The RFID chip is implanted between the thumb and the index under the skin. The process takes seconds, and the body's reaction varies from person to person.
