Near Field Communication (NFC) Tags

With the daily advancements of the Internet of Things Technologies, the possibilities to connect physical objects are advancing each day. Today we are presenting an NFC-based solution to connect wine and spirits in a direct-to-consumer setup.

Let’s start with a basic question, what does NFC  actually stand for?

A Near Field Communication (NFC) tag is a sticker that contains a microchip for storing data and can be read by mobile devices at a short range of 4cm. The amount of data that can be stored on an NFC tag can vary.  The memory and speed of the NFC tag dictated its cost.

How do NFC tags work?

NFC tags are passive, they do not have any power source. The NFC tags get their energy from the NFC-enabled device. Most of today’s smartphones have built-in NFC capabilities.

What are the NFC tags used for?

NFC tags are becoming a crucial part of modern-day marketing. It can be used to enable the customers to interact with the product and obtain useful product information, in real-time.
