Olympians now face implanted chips

Polish national postal service Poczta Polska (Polish Post) has piloted a radio frequency identification-based solution from ProxiGroup to improve the efficiency of its distribution center. The two-week pilot, which ended last month, tracked 1,000 parcels via ultrahigh-frequency (UHF) RFID tags attached to them as they moved through zones within its Kielce facility. The pilot found that parcels could be tracked in real time, eliminating the need for bar-code scanning.
