The NFC Patrol System APP is built on NFC (Near Field Communication) technology and mobile operator networks, featuring an open architecture and modular design. It delivers a smart management system integrating NFC tag registration, data collection, content input, real-time swipe data upload, record management, query statistics, and report analysis—greatly improving patrol efficiency and accuracy.
System Components
The system consists of three key parts:
NFC Tags
Various types of NFC patrol tags are used across different equipment and locations, ensuring reliable and stable tag performance.
Patrol APP
User authentication is based on phone numbers. After login, the APP automatically connects to the cloud platform to update patrol routes, points, and related data. Security personnel can scan NFC tags using their smartphones; records are then automatically uploaded with voice prompts for seamless operation.
Tip-NFC Cloud Platform
Composed of communication servers, database servers, and web servers, the cloud platform handles data reception, storage, analysis, user management, and detailed report generation. It supports centralized and remote system administration.
