ST25 NFC Reader+Tag

Power Tools with the Reader+Tag solution

Implementing a Reader+Tag solution in power tools, such as drills, grinders and pressure washers, enhances user experience and increases product safety and reliability.

Accessory recognition triggers an automatic adjustment of the tool’s settings, such as its torque or rotational speed, depending on the mounted drill head.

Product authentication and brand recognition can also be implemented to prevent the usage of low-quality or hazardous batteries, or other non-suitable accessories.

Data logging and tracking enable better insights into how the tool is actually used and help improve inventory management through NFC-enabled check-in/check-out processes and condition monitoring.

Personal Care Products with the Reader+Tag solution

The implementation of the Reader+Tag solution in toothbrushes, shavers, and similar devices, brings additional benefits to consumers.

NFC connectivity takes consumer engagement to the next level and provides new ways for customers to interact with their product. By scanning the NFC tag embedded in their toothbrush using their smartphone, customers can easily find out more on the product specifications, but also re-order brush heads or other consumables in a few seconds.

The authentication and recognition of the NFC tags on the used toothbrush heads also prevents the use of counterfeit products.

Home appliances with the Reader+Tag solution

Using the Reader+Tag solution in a home appliance like an air purifier allows manufacturers to gain new and valuable insights into how consumers use their product (in an anonymous way), with the aim of improving ease-of-use and the overall user experience.

Monitoring the condition of the consumables used and sending a reminder when it is time to replace them with new ones – which can be ordered via a simple tap with the smartphone – are other new benefits for end users, as they contribute to making their daily lives easier.
