How an NFC app works: All about Near Field Communication
NFC – what is it?
Near Field Communication technology, NFC, in principle is an electronic data exchange at short distance. Near field communication works at 13.56 Hz – the same frequency as smartphones. NFC was developed back in 2002, and the first mobile phone with NFC function was released in 2006.
Near Field Communication is now in use worldwide, and almost all smartphones are equipped with the function. NFC is used, for example, for ticketing systems when riding the subway.
How does NFC and the NFC app work?
An NFC app uses NFC technology – for example, for contactless payment at the checkout in a supermarket. However, there are also numerous other NFC apps which have realised and integrated the possibilities and advantages of near field communication. For example, objects of any kind that are relevant to control can be equipped with an NFC tag and can thus be identified without getting mixed up. The data of the object can be retrieved digitally via an NFC tag and re-stored in the NFC app.

Staff members can choose the following when capturing working hours:
✔️ The property on which they were doing their job (e.g. sports center)
✔️ The work they have carried out (e.g. lawn mowing)
✔️ Details of working hours as free text (e.g. "Acorns removed")
✔️ The vehicle used for their work (e.g. ride-on mower)
✔️ Attachments that have been used (e.g. vehicles for grass/leaf collection & special lawn mowers)
✔️ The hand-held tools that were used (e.g. brushcutters)
✔️ Start and end of the activity (date & time)
✔️ If necessary, hardship allowances (in hours)

-
Exakte Ortung von Objekten, Routen und Mitarbeitenden – den Radius, wie weit um das mitgeführte Gerät getracked werden soll, bestimmen Sie selbst. So können Mitarbeitende das Gerät sogar im Fahrzeug lassen, während Sie einen Mülleimer leeren – und das Objekt wird dank einem großzügigen Radius trotzdem erfasst.
-
Datenschutz garantiert: Die Standortdaten werden ausschließlich rund um die zu bearbeitenden Objekte aufgezeichnet – kein Echtzeit-Tracking von Personen, beispielsweise in Pausen oder zwischen den zu erledigenden Aufgaben.
-
Offline-Nutzung: Auch ohne Netz funktioniert die Aufzeichnung zuverlässig – die Daten werden bei nächster Verbindung ins System übernommen.
-
Mehr Übersicht: Die App zeigt, welche Strecken bereits erledigt wurden. Das sorgt für transparente Arbeitsverteilung – ganz ohne doppelte Wege.
-
Planung im digitalen Kalender: Alle Touren sind übersichtlich in einem Kalender darstellbar – für Tage, Wochen oder Monate im Voraus.
-
Automatische Auftragserstellung: EineStadt erstellt auf Wunsch automatisch Einsatzaufträge und übermittelt diese an die Geräte der Mitarbeitenden.
-
Einfache Beweisführung: Kommt es zu einem Vorfall, können Streckenverläufe als PDF oder Bilddatei exportiert werden – rechtssicher und nachvollziehbar.

Linien-Tracking (z. B. für Winterdienst, Hecken- oder Leitungsinspektion):
In der App wird die geplante Strecke als rote Linie angezeigt. Sobald eine Linie befahren oder begangen wird, färbt sie sich gelb. Ist die Linie vollständig bearbeitet, wechselt sie zu grün. Verlässt eine Person den vorgesehenen Streckenradius, pausiert das Tracking automatisch; das sorgt für eine saubere Dokumentation ohne Fehlaufzeichnungen.
-
Flächen-Tracking (z. B. für Grünflächen oder Parkplätze):
Bearbeitungsflächen erscheinen als rote Bereiche auf der Karte. Befinden sich die Nutzenden für eine bestimmte Zeit innerhalb der Fläche und dringen bis zur geometrischen Mitte vor, wird die Fläche grün eingefärbt – ein klares Signal, dass die Aufgabe erledigt ist.
-
Punkte-Tracking (z. B. für Mülleimer, Hydranten oder Kontrollschächte):
Punktobjekte werden als rote Marker dargestellt. Sobald sich ein Gerät im definierten Radius um den Punkt befindet, färbt sich dieser grün. Erst danach kann der nächste Punkt angesteuert werden – das gewährleistet, dass kein Objekt übersehen wird.
