Hitachi puts a leash on employees, introduces Wi-Fi active RFID tags.
How would you like it if, for instance, one day you realized your companies ID tag was reporting on your whereabouts? Well this means no sneaking out of office and no little errands while on work, this is what Hitachi Ltd. had in mind when they came up with industries first AirLocation II tag-w.
A Wi-Fi active, RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) tag is for wireless LAN position detection and management of people.
The feature enables a thorough and precise management of people entering a building and information about the position of individuals within.
Hitachi says it was developed to track people in case of emergency but imagine your boss looking at every move you make will you like it. I certainly would hate to wear it. Never the less this thing is going to hit the market on October 3 and will cost 21,000 Yen.
