Flomio for Tablets

[SamitParticipant]

Hi,

We are in the process of developing a software for a restaurant and interested in utilizing you RDIF reader for our Tablet POS software.

Looking through your website, i found NFC on Glass. How does that work? Can that be put a tablet? Either Android or iOS as our app can run on all three platforms.

Will your product work if the customer have RFID cards and not NFC?

Thanks,
Samit

Hi Samit,

Here is a video of NFC on Glass working with an iPad. We support both native iOS and a hybrid Javascript solution upon request. NFC is a subset of RFID technology, we currently only support NFC using NFC on Glass. Do you have specific tags in mind?

NFC on Glass is an add-on to existing NFC readers to extend the surface area of where the ‘tap’ can happen. You can integrate it with your existing Tablet POS software. More info on the technology involved: Flomio’s NFC Patch Kit.

What is your current setup and what issues do you want to resolve?

Let me know if you have any more questions, happy to help.

Kind Regards,
Scott

Hi Scot,

Thank you for getting back to me so quickly!

We are in the process of developing a software for a client that wants to use tablets to order the food and drinks using iPads.

When the host gets them to the table to seat then, they bring an iPad along with then as well to hand to the guest. We want to have a NFC tag at the table that begins the check when the host rest the iPad on it.

For payment, the guest can use the swiper to swipe the card or tap to pay. The issue is that the cards are not credit cards but RFID prepaid cards.

Can those be used with NFC on glass?

In a nut shell, there are two things that we are trying to accomplish. One, use NCF to begin a check at the table when guest sit and are given a tablet and second, to use NFC on glass with RFID cards.

Hi Samit,

That sounds very interesting! That shouldn’t be an issue but it would be worth shipping us an example of both card types for testing to make sure they would work with NFC on Glass before placing your order.

Also, how many NFC on Glass kits would you potentially need?

Hi Scot,

It will be 40-50 regular iPad and 15 mini’s.

Let me see how I can get you a sample card as we are located in India.

Firstly, do you know the name of the tag types?
We may have some we can test, but if not, you will need to ship them to the above address if you would like us to confirm that NFC on Glass works with them.

Hi Scot,

They are Ultra lite C cards.

NFC on Glass will work with that tag type so no need for us
to test.

You can go ahead and place your order.

[SamitParticipant]

Ok perfect! Do you have NFC on glass for both iPad mini and regular?

[ScottKeymaster]

It will require disassembly of either sized iPad in order to place the NFC patch kit in the ideal spot. Mainly because of risk of damaging iPad in install process, this would be something that you would need to do yourself.
If using iPads with no built in NFC, what do you expect will be your scanner? Floble plus?

Hi Samit,

Did you ship tags to test with NFC on Glass?

NFC on Glass will work with that tag type so no need for us to test. You can go ahead and place your order.

No need for us to test.

You will still need to know the answers to the questions in the previous post to make sure you will be able to proceed re-creating NFC on Glass.
