RESEARCH & PLANNING
RESEARCH & PLANNING
I began by researching NFC-based tools designed specifically for construction management. During the construction phase, NFC helps in efficiently managing inventory and reducing over ordering or misplacement of materials. Workers can quickly scan NFC tags to check the quantity and specifications of materials, facilitating precise use and minimizing surplus.
