NFC
Near Field Communication (NFC) is a wireless communication technology that allows devices to exchange data by simply being brought close together.
It is often used for contactless payments, ticketing, and access control. In Odoo’s Automation Planet, NFC is integrated to streamline various business processes, improving efficiency and automation in different departments.
What is NFC?
NFC is a short-range communication system that enables data transfer between two devices without the need for physical contact. It operates over very short distances (typically less than 10 cm), making it secure and fast.
NFC is widely used for applications like mobile payments, digital IDs, and automatic data exchange between devices.
How NFC is Integrated into Odoo’s Automation Planet
Odoo’s Automation Planet utilizes NFC to enhance key business operations by automating manual tasks, improving data accuracy, and reducing operational costs.
By integrating NFC into Odoo, businesses can track inventory, manage access, and optimize customer interactions directly through the platform.
Key Applications of NFC in Odoo

Inventory Management
With NFC-enabled tags on products, businesses can automatically update their stock levels in Odoo when items are scanned. This reduces human errors and improves inventory accuracy.

Access Control
NFC can be used to grant employees or customers access to restricted areas by using NFC-enabled badges or smartphones. Odoo integrates this functionality to manage access rights and track entries.
