Japan has struggled with a work culture that consists of excessive overtime. To curb that behavior, one firm is planning to use drones that fly around the office blasting music to get employees to realize it’s time to go home. They will also record footage of what they see to identify employees who remain in the office after standard work hours.
The “T-Frend” buzzes over those trying to work late, blasting out strains of “Auld Lang Syne” — a Scottish tune typically used in Japan to announce that a store is closing. The drone is equipped with a camera, which stores footage on an SD card. Office scenes can also be monitored almost in real time from a remote location.
