Semi-passive NFC tags can store sensor readings and make them available when needed. The tag remains inactive between readings, helping reduce power use. A compatible NFC-enabled mobile device can read the stored information on site.

HaaS offers an entry-level option for collecting and accessing data from assets in the field. RFID and NFC tags can help teams identify equipment, retrieve stored information and capture data at the point of use.

For applications where continuous monitoring is unnecessary, on-demand data access can provide a simpler alternative to full telematics. The right tag and data workflow depend on the asset and the information you need to collect.

Semi-passive NFC tags do not need a continuous external power supply to be read. Their onboard battery supports sensor readings and data storage, while the tag can remain inactive between readings until triggered.

This approach can suit applications where access to power is limited or where data only needs to be collected periodically.

Because a semi-passive tag does not continuously transmit radio signals while idle, it can use less power between readings. This can help extend battery life in applications where replacing or recharging a tag is difficult.

HaaS can help teams manage equipment and other assets that do not have their own power source. NFC tags make it possible to access asset information on site with a compatible mobile device, supporting practical data collection and asset tracking.
