32M is a company dealing with vending machines and companies' selling systems (cash registers) that companies have installed in rest rooms and employee cafeterias. The chip is compatible with NFC and RFID, and with this effort, 32M employees can purchase snacks with confidence by using the embedded microchip even if they do not have cash, cards, smartphones, etc. It will be able to do.

As with Epicenter, the place to embed is between the thumb and the index finger, the price of the microchip is 300 dollars (about 33,400 yen).

The communication between the chip and the reader is encrypted and it does not correspond to the GPS, so it can not be used for tracking information about where the employee is now. It is said that embedding is done only by the desired employee.
