Unveiling Digital Identifiers & Data Carriers with NFC, QR Codes, and DPP

We’re excited to announce our latest YouTube video release, where we unveil how digital identifiers and data carriers are integrated with cutting-edge NFC and QR code technology—a core element of whatt.io’s innovative approach.

In This Video, You Will Learn:

• QR Codes 101:
  Discover the origins of QR codes, invented in 1994 by Denso Wave, and learn how these two-dimensional matrix barcodes serve as powerful data carriers. They efficiently store information for item identification, web tracking, and location services. With fast readability and robust data capacity, QR codes have become indispensable identifiers for product tracking, document management, and marketing.

• The World of NFC Technology:
  Get introduced to NFC (Near Field Communication), a type of passive RFID technology operating on the ISO 14443A standard—the same used in credit cards and security systems. See how NFC tags, like the NFC tag 213 with 144 Bytes of programmable memory, are effortlessly programmed using the whatt.io App on both Android and iPhone. Key highlights include:

  • Battery-Free Operation: NFC tags use built-in antennas as data carriers to deliver a reading distance of up to 40 mm.

  • Global Reach: Nearly 1.6 billion NFC-enabled devices worldwide can read these identifiers.

  • Market Impact: With the global NFC payment devices market projected to grow from $16.35 billion in 2020 to $67.71 billion by 2028, NFC technology is poised to enhance product authentication, tracking, and management.

• Digital Product Passport (DPP) Integration:
  Learn how our innovative Digital Product Passport (DPP) seamlessly integrates with NFC and QR code identifiers. The DPP provides instant access to essential product data—from ownership registration and authenticity verification to counterfeit control. This powerful combination of digital identifiers and data carriers ensures transparency, sustainability, and efficiency throughout a product’s lifecycle.

• Practical Application with whatt.io:
  Explore how the whatt.io platform unifies NFC, QR codes, and the DPP to bridge the gap between physical products and digital data. With whatt.io, you gain effortless access to comprehensive product information without needing a separate app, while enhanced functionalities offer detailed lifecycle tracking and compliance management.

Join us as we explore the future of digital manufacturing and the circular economy. Watch our video now to see how whatt.io is setting a new standard in merging physical and digital realms through smart identifiers and data carriers.
