Finland: Early Nokia NFC Phone Assists With Workforce Management
We're Updating our Interactive Map and Project Pages
Stay tuned for all new an all-new interactive map and exclusive content on NFC projects across the globe.
Northport, which provides ground handling services for airlines in Finland, including parent Finnair, uses NFC phones to manage employees for air travel check-in, baggage handling and other tasks. Employees tap their phones against their contactless ID cards to check-in for work and to register the phone they are using. They then tap tags in various locations at the airport after completing tasks. This gives Northport their exact locations, enabling the service company to send the employees to the nearest assignments. Those assignments and any instructions are sent to the phone for the employee to read, eliminating the need for workers to call into a service center, as before.
The project was one of the first uses of an early Nokia NFC phone model, the 5140 and 5140i. Like the Nokia 3220, which was mainly intended for the consumer market, the enterprise-focused 5140i came with an attachable shell embedded with an NFC chip, which could read tags.
* Trusted Service Manager: Defined loosely to include companies or other organizations securely distributing, provisioning and managing applications, generally over the air, on secure elements in NFC mobile phones; or licensing their platforms for this purpose.
