Near-Field Communication Tags

Brian - a great idea, so great in fact that we’ve recently deployed this technology!

If you would like a run through of how we’ve incorporated NFC tags, feel free to direct message me and I can run you through it, or there is an article here https://help.safetyculture.com/en-US/004058/

We’ve started in assets, because it allows customers to store information, actions, inspections against that asset / room / location. 

Customers have asked for tags with SC logo, so they know which NFC tag to tap when using the SC app, so we’ve created some tags and stickers. Highly durable and tested with customers in tough conditions - construction, etc. Depending on where you want to use them for, we’ve got tags or stickers. 
I’ve attached a few photos. 

If you want to buy some of these, again, feel free to direct message me (thomas.cooper@safetyculture.io) and I can get you sorted out. 

Hopefully this is what you are after,

Tom

​@Brian East sorry, tagging you in case you didn’t receive notification of my response.

​@tdcoop 

Can you DM to discuss further?

​@tdcoop I have run trough your guidance above and have changed the way we complete lift inspections and soon escalator and equipment linking the asset to a NFC chip, while this works well to save time in scanning QR codes it does remove the security element of the included Logic based hexadecimal.

This doesn't however, tackle multiple location assets. I did have hope that I come create 30 location ‘assets’ and read each on in a form to display the questions but this isn't the case. I really believe this would be a great added function to inspections that would suit Security and facility management companies that need to evidence that areas have been checked.

I have DM’d but no response thus far. 

Thanks Brian. I apologise, i thought i had responded via email, but it must not have got through. 

I understand what you are trying to do now. 

Just to get some more clarity, would it be ok if they launch a new inspection ‘form’ at each of the 30 locations, or does it need to all be in the one inspection form? 

Today - we can link a specific inspection template to the asset - so once they tap the NFC tag, the user can then launch the inspection straight from the asset profile page. Problem: it requires 2 clicks to get the inspection generated. 

Alternative - the next alternative solution is that the NFC tag, which tapped, automatically launches the inspection (reducing the number of clicks required). We are investigating how difficult this might be. Would something like this work? 

Alternative #2 - the use taps the NFC tag and it launches questions that are linked to the same inspection template for all 30 locations. This is quite difficult to do in the product, and would be a long way off. 

Best, 

Tom

Is there no way to add read NFC as an option in the data capture options menu for a text answer within a template in the same way the app scans a QR codes and adds the text result. My questions would be displayed using logic functions if they scanned the right NFC.
