摘要

The use of near field communication (NFC) data tags, or an alternative data tag, on or around automated packaging machines facilitates providing end users, or other personnel who work with such machines, with specific information about the machine and/or machine processes. The information can be specified by the machine manufacturer, specified by the end user, or a combination of both, providing added value the end user and, for example, instant support in relation to the machines and machine processes.
