With electronic payment systems becoming the quintessence of today’s technologically driven society, the integration of Near Field Communication (NFC) technology in this field has made the experience of consumers at point of sale (POS) terminals exponentially favorable. This technology, based on Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) and implemented to allow for short-range communication to be possible, has been adopted worldwide in a variety of applications and has enabled the secure bidirectional exchange of data between two NFC enabled devices. NFC allows communication between two NFC-enabled devices within a range of 10 centimeters. The integration of NFC into mobile devices has greatly increased the capabilities of mobile phones, with the potential to do even more. This occurrence has prompted a number of studies on NFC. At the same time, there are substantial issues about customer satisfaction, privacy, speed, and convenience, among other things.

NFC payment is the latest mobile payment technology for cashless transactions. Mobile payment is an application of mobile commerce which facilitates mobile commerce transactions by providing the mobile customer with a convenient means to pay. Many mobile payment methods have been proposed and implemented like user friendly, customer centric, merchant centric where security concerns are highly addressed. This chapter discusses the evolution of mobile payments that describes different technologies like SET, Barcode, Biometrics and also Near Field Communications that provides a platform for many applications for peer to peer transactions and other security features where confidentiality and trust are main concerns. Near Field Communication (NFC) provides means to close-range contactless identification and communications for mobile phones and other devices Also, use of NFC for short range communication allows the possible integration with existing Point-of-Sale equipment and the payment process from the customers and merchants perspective.

The phrase the Internet of things was originally coined in a 1999 presentation about attaching radio frequency identification (RFID) tags to individual objects. These tags would make the objects machine-readable, uniquely identifiable, and, most importantly, wirelessly communicative with infrastructure. This chapter evaluates RFID as a piece of mobile communicative infrastructure, and it examines two emerging forms: near-field communication (NFC) and Bluetooth low-energy beacons. The chapter shows how NFC and Bluetooth low-energy beacons may soon move some types of RFID to smartphones, in this way evolving the use of RFID in payment and transportation and enabling new practices of post-purchasing behaviors.

The proliferation of mobile devices such as smart phones and other handheld appliances has stimulated the development of a broad range of functionality, including medical, retail, gaming, and personal applications. Technology that has been leveraged to enable many of these uses includes embedded mobile, radio frequency identification, location based services, and augmented reality. Embedded mobile refers to preprogrammed tasks that are performed on a mobile device. Personal care and monitoring is one of the most common uses of embedded mobile. RFID involves communication between a tag and a reader. Mobile RFID extends the technology by tagging the mobile device with an RFID tag to perform tasks on the device. Near field communication is frequently utilized in mobile payment systems. Advertisers find this of significant use in focusing advertisements based on the location of an individual. Augmented reality involves the use of computer generated or enhanced sensory input such as audio and visual components to enhance the perception of reality.

Museum Jawa Tengah Ranggawarsita adalah salah satu tempat yang memiliki banyak koleksi objek bersejarah. Objek-objek bersejarah tersebut memiliki informasi penting di dalamnya. Informasi bisa berupa sejarah bangsa atau peradaban penting yang ada di Indonesia. Namun pada kenyataannya informasi mengenai objek bersejarah yang ditampilkan masih kurang jelas, detail dan informatif. Hal ini karena banyaknya informasi dari objek yang perlu ditampilkan dan dikenali oleh petugas kajian museum. Administrasi objek-objek museum juga masih menggunakan cara manual yaitu menggunakan arsip fisik untuk setiap informasi objek yang ada. Diperlukan sebuah sistem untuk mempermudah proses administrasi dan penampilan informasi objek dengan mengenali objek. Pengenalan objek menggunakan Near Field Communication pada android smartphone dan tag pasif Radio Frequency Identification dapat menjadi solusi dari permasalahan ini. Untuk pengunjung, sistem dapat digunakan untuk mengenali objek yang diinginkan dan menampilkan informasi objek secara detail, jelas dan informatif, sedangkan untuk petugas museum sistem dapat digunakan untuk administrasi objek-objek museum yang ada. Sistem dikembangkan dengan menggunakan proses pengembangan perangkat lunak unified process dalam satu iterasi. Sistem memanfaatkan web-service untuk sebagai penyedia atau perantara data sistem. Sistem sudah melewati pengujian black-box dan white-box dengan hasil lulus uji. Sistem diharapkan dapat mempermudah proses pengenalan objek museum dan administrasi objek museum.


NFC devices are used in contactless payment systems, similar to those used in credit cards electronic ticket smartcards and allow mobile payment to replace and supplement these systems. Specifically, combining NFC enabled devices or NFC mobile phones with RFID tags offers additional benefits when compared to traditional RFID solutions. When an application requires that a device have frequent interaction with tags at numerous process points, the high expense of using traditional handheld RFID readers is cost prohibitive. By replacing handheld readers with NFC-enabled phones at data collection points, the ROI for the application increases. HID Trusted Tag® Services is an example of an application that combines HID Global's patented Near Field Communication (NFC) trusted tag technology and cloud-based authentication platform to add unique and trusted identities to everyday objects that can be read by NFC-enabled mobile devices. This is ideal for establishing proof of presence, digital out of home (DOOH) and electronic visitor verification (EVV) and also serves as a real-world application of the Internet of Things (IoT) that has been discussed in Chapter 1. Some of the examples of NFC based mobile devices is discussed in the chapter.

Our main aim in this paper is to show that traceability has become more than a way to guarantee the stock details but also useful after the delivery of the orders. In this paper, we are trying to illustrate this idea where how companies can implement traceability using modern technologies. After researching with the various industrial company about how traceability works, we came up the technologies which can help the company to implement traceability with ease. The companies need traceability in order to track the products while packaging, before and after delivery of orders. With coherent traceability, it becomes easier to locate the missing products in the orders after the delivery and provides credibility of the orders. We are going to review three technologies used in the inventory management systems and how can we use these technologies in traceability is Barcode Technology, Radio Frequency Identification(RFID), and Near Field Communication(NFC).
