Near Field Communication (NFC) and Contactless Technology

NFC technology is a type of wireless communication that uses radio-frequency identification to transfer data between devices. In the context of plumbing, NFC can be used for contactless payment and control systems.

How NFC Works in Plumbing

NFC technology is commonly used in plumbing applications due to its ability to transmit data over short distances. In a typical plumbing system, an NFC reader is installed at the water meter or near the valve that you need to control. When you pay with your phone using an NFC-enabled payment method, such as Apple Pay or Google Pay, the device transmits your payment information to the server.

Benefits of NFC in Plumbing

NFC technology offers several benefits in plumbing applications, including convenience, security, and efficiency. By using contactless payment systems, you can avoid the hassle of carrying cash or credit cards, reducing your risk of losing or misplacing valuables.
