“A mom of 3 kids said, I’m using NFC tags to mark boxes”
Curious of how you are doing this? The problem with NFC tags is that most of them have very low amounts of memory, usually enough for an address, a URL, or a vCard, but not enough for a list of items past a couple/few. So I don’t see an NFC tag to be effective of listing the contents of a box without the assistance of something else (e.g. using the NFC tag to bring up a list stored somewhere else).
Hi Patrick
Thanks for your comment, actually you can use a big memory NFC tags, such as DESFire EV1 4K or 8K. If you want to make it lower cost, you just mark it category does not list all. A mom of 3 kids would be very busy and forgettable, anything can help them save time and find things faster, they would be appreciated.
Thanks for your thoughts! Have a nice day!
