Let\u2019s put the spotlight on Near Field\nCommunication (NFC), a technology also referred to as RFID (Radio Frequency\nIdentification). As consumers, do we really understand the full capabilities of\nthis technology? NFC has been around since 1980 with slow adoption, and now\nthis trendy technology is on the rise as we see it in contactless payment\nsystems, public transportation, and proximity marketing. That being said, are\nthere other uses of NFC for businesses?\n\n\"\"<\/a>\n\nMany. It can deliver convenience and efficiency to a variety of sectors that\nemploy mobile workers. Don\u2019t be intimidated by the new emergence of this\ntechnology. It\u2019s surprisingly easy to comprehend, use, and incorporate into\nbusinesses.\n\n\nTracking tasks and employees<\/strong>\n\nNFC tags can contain information such as task description and instructions\nfor a specific location. With the mobile employees equipped with NFC-capable\nsmartphones, they can easily scan NFC tags to acquire certain product or\nlocation-specific information related to their job. Tags can also be placed on\ncertain rooms, places, buildings, and even equipment where employees can check\ninto. This helps indicate who was where at what time using what equipment, etc.\nThis feature is extremely beneficial for automating the tasks for mobile\nemployees, eliminating paper log books and saving time on administration. It\u2019s\ngreat for cleaning, hotel, and security industries as well as any sector with\nmobile workers.\n\n\nTracking stock and inventory<\/strong>\n\nNot only can you read data from NFC tags but you can also write them using\nNFC-capable smartphones! This means you can update certain information on the\ntags, like product description and inventory counts. Doctors and nurses can\neasily scan patient tags to acquire prescription info and details from a last\nvisit. Retailers and rack jobbers can place tags on merchandising shelves with\nproduct info and update the stock counts for precise inventory counts. No\npaperwork necessary.\n\nAdd a bit of creativity to these two features and the possibilities derived\nfrom NFC technology for business are endless! The system requires very little\noverhead and a low start-up cost for something that can save you time in\nemployee management and training. An NFC tag can cost as little as 30 cents\ndepending on your application, and if your employees require mobile phones,\nthere you go! You already have your hardware. All you need is reliable and\npowerful NFC management software, like inViu pro, to coordinate the scanned\ndata with its user, time, and location.\n\nTo learn more about NFC technology, visit the Wikipedia<\/a> page.","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
