There is a growing trend, in today’s factories, to use innovations like smart objects, autonomous production, and access to the cloud to support customization on a large scale and manufacture products in close to real time. This trend, which is seen to be part of the fourth industrial revolution, or Industry 4.0, is accelerated by the use of wireless technologies, including Near Field Communication (NFC). NFC is an enabling technology for Industry 4.0, since it can increase automation and change the way goods and services are offered.
