NFC is used today as a secure near-touch technology for mobile phone payments. 

NFC can also be used for many other purposes to access resources safe and securely such as documentation etc that you create & continually update.

Mobiles of your target audience can then access these resources safely without any additional apps needing to be installed. 

CATIM supply blank/pre-printed open NFC tags & technologies to industrial customers to create and access dynamic information for SOP’s, manuals, guides where it is required to solve the problem…

features

  • Superior to QR codes.

Compared to QR codes?

  • User simply tap tags with a mobile the same way as mobile pay…, no need to open an application such as camera for QR codes.
  • No additional apps required to be installed as mobiles support NFC natively to improve Cybersecurity and Privacy concerns.
  • More powerful as long links up to 888 characters are supported so ideal for cloud resources such as documents on Microsoft SharePoint / OneDrive or Google cloud.
  • Far more adaptable to your ever-changing needs as tags can be reprogrammed as often as you require.
  • CyberSecure against counterfeiting.
  • Incorporates NXP standard NTAG chips so API libraries available for custom applications for mobile or PC’s.
  • Much more rugged than QR labels.
  • Optionally add write protection or PIN enter to access the resource pointed to by the tag.

How

  • Purchase open tags from us with factory default NXP chips.
  • Use free mobile apps to program tags easily.
  • The user taps tag requiring no additional app to view what you programmed.

Other uses

  • Documentation or page links for IT or OT use cases needed by your exact target audience at exactly the place and point required for a productive knowledge transfer.
  • Update or revoke the documentation or resource online.
  • Product manuals that are always up to date on every tap even if the tags are remote.
  • No costly infra structure required…just use your current cloud and own all IP and the whole process.

Example use case of implementing a document distribution system accessible by tapping a NFC tag with a mobile.

  1. Create a PDF with any application of your choice.  Our Genie PowerPoint add-in works well for this.
  2. Load the PDF onto a cloud and generate a link to the PDF.
  3. Program the link into the required tag.
  4. Any mobile that is NFC capable with no additional software can scan the tag and the PDF will open in a web browser.
  5. Any edits on the PDF will automatically reflect when the mobile scans the tag again.
  6. More details in the RFID/NFC Overview PDF above.
