FC Solution, RFID CARD a Thailand-based company, has introduced a tracking system which requires security guards to check in to a location by tapping their NFC phone to a tag. The system also records the employee’s GPS location to ensure guards can’t cheat the system by removing tags placed around a secured area and putting them in an easier-to-access location.
“We add the GPS location in the data record after the tag is tapped so the employer can check this tag read against the GPS location,” says FC Solution’s Vanchai Wongthamrin, “Before, without the GPS, the employee could take all the tags with them and keep them in the control center.”
“All data rfid inlay recorded by the CloudFCS service can be accessed from a back office computer in real time,” says Wongthamrin. “The system can also be used for asset tracking.”
A group of American and Chinese researchers have worked together to develop a tiny implantable battery which is capable of harvesting and storing energy from the natural contractile and relaxation motions of the heart, lung, and diaphragm.
These little mechanical energy harvesters have had been successfully tested on cows. The researchers say that they could be used to power a range of gadgets in the future. So it might be possible that you will be able to charge your iPhone by plugging it into your body.
So how does the battery work? The rectifier integrated in the battery converts the electrical signal which then stores in a tiny rechargeable battery.
One technology that will benefit from this is RFID. Humans will now be able to implant self-powered microcomputers inside of one’s body. Like all technology, it is neutral. It is how we use it that dictates the tools outcome.contactless cards
