Wisconsin-based Three Square Market (32M) will become their first company USA which will implant RFID microchips in the hands of its employees.
The decision is nothing more than an acrobatic show in the media, orchestrated by 32M in collaboration with BioHax, a Swedish company that provides bio-friendly implantable RFID microchip.
Η 32M is engaged in automatic food and snack machines and recently added the ability to handle implantable RFID microchips, allowing everyone to pay for food simply by shaking his hand near one of their devices.
The company announced in this regard: “To show that RFID implants are safe, the company will provide free RFID implants to all employees during a "chip party" on August 1. Implantation will be optional."
In addition to the benefit of using food from machinery, 32M and HNUMXM BioHax they say the chip has secondary benefits, such as opening access doors, activating office photocopiers, automatic connecting to 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 on the same technology as NFC (Near-Field Communications) used by today's contactless payment cards. The RFID chip is implanted between the thumb and forefinger under the skin. The process takes time seconds, and the body's reaction varies from person to person.
