Nfc Tag solutions are becoming the new favourite in the field of smart meters, with their unique advantages, bringing a lot of convenience to the application of smart meters, while improving efficiency and reducing costs.

1. Convenient data reading and writing: By embedding NFC Теги on smart meters, workers can quickly read various data from the meter, such as electricity readings and historical electricity records, by simply carrying an NFC-enabled device close to the meter. At the same time, it can also easily write new parameter settings and software update instructions to the meter, without the need for complex connection operations, greatly simplifying the data interaction process.
2. Identification & Rights Management: NFC tags can be used to identify workers. Only authorised personnel can carry NFC devices that interact with the meter, ensuring data security and standardised operation. For example, when a meter reader reads meter data, NFC authentication can accurately record the meter reader’s information and time, avoiding data tampering and misoperation.
3. Asset management and maintenance: Each smart meter can be labelled with a uniquely identified NFC tag to record the model, production information, installation location, etc. of the meter. When carrying out meter maintenance and overhaul, the staff can quickly obtain the detailed information of the meter by reading the NFC tag, which is convenient for formulating maintenance plans and improving the efficiency of asset management.

In the past, meter reading required manual recording of meter readings, which was not only inefficient, but also prone to errors. With the NFC tag solution, meter readers only need to scan the meter with an NFC device, and the data can be transferred to the management system in an instant, greatly reducing the meter reading time. According to statistics, after adopting NFC technology, the meter reading efficiency has increased by about 50%, and the data accuracy has been greatly guaranteed.

From the perspective of hardware cost, NFC tags are relatively inexpensive, and large-scale applications will not bring excessive cost burden. In terms of labour costs, because NFC technology improves work efficiency and reduces the workload of manual operations, enterprises do not need to hire too many meter reading and maintenance personnel, thus reducing labour costs. In addition, precise asset management through NFC technology reduces the loss and damage of electricity meters, further reducing the operating costs of the enterprise.

The application of NFC tag scheme in smart meters provides a new direction for the development of smart meters with its characteristics of high efficiency, convenience and low cost. As the technology continues to mature, the application prospect of NFC technology in the field of smart meters will be broader.
