NFC technology is widely used in various industries and applications, such as retail, logistics, healthcare, agriculture, manufacturing, and more. It enables automation, improves efficiency, and enhances data accuracy by providing a way to automatically identify and track items without the need for direct line-of-sight contact between the tag and the reader.
When an NFC tag comes into the proximity of an NFC reader, the reader sends out a radio signal that powers up the tag and the tag then responds by transmitting its stored information back to the reader.
The NFC tags are ideal for use in marketing, product identification, location tracking, or personal applications. When a user scans the NFC sticker, it can open online presentations, video links, initiate navigation, display text, open an app, dial a phone number, or perform various other NFC functionalities.
NFC tags size 50x50 mm with NTAG213 chips and 3M adhesive were designed to identify assets and can also be printed with a logo, QR code or other content.
When the stickers are used for identification purposes, the app typically reads the chip's ID number and retrieves related information from a database.
On-metal protection is a special layer which enables operation even on a metal base like electronic housing, metal tables, cabinets, metal pillars,...
These tags contain a common NFC Type 2 NTAG213 chip, which is an inexpensive read/write NFC chip compatible with the standard ISO/IEC 14443-3A and these chips are regularly used for various NFC applications. It has a 7-byte-long unique ID number encoded by the chip manufacturer and an EEPROM memory for storing up to 144 bytes of data, equivalent to a 136-character-long URL address or another string of data.
The memory can be set as 'read-only,' thereby locking it against future changes.
The chip ID is easily readable with many NFC applications and is visible to the public.
