Abstract

RFID-based near field communication (NFC) technology enables several applications for short range communication. It is suitable for professional applications due to principle of operation, flexibility of use and it is standardized. Compared to other short range communication technologies such as Bluetooth, Bluetooth ULP (ultra low power) or Zigbee, it provides advantages in industrial environment and requirements that we will introduce and discuss in this paper. We present a novel scenario for use of NFC in industrial application where operator can collect information simply by touching and organizing data afterwards.
