Harnessing the Power of NFC Tags on a Superyacht

Streamlined Access and Tasks

One of the primary advantages of NFC tags on a superyacht is their ability to streamline and log which crew member has carried out which checks and accessed specific storage departments. On some superyachts NFC-enabled smartphones can also be used to gain entry to designated areas, ensuring enhanced security while minimizing the need for physical keys. Furthermore, access can be customised, granting specific permissions based on an individual’s role or preferences, thus optimising safety protocols.

Crew Check-in and Check-out

Using an NFC tag to check in crew on a superyacht brings efficiency and convenience to the crew management process. Simply configure an NFC tag in IDEA YACHT and place it in a designated check-in point, they can simply tap their phone against the tag to confirm whether they have disembarked or are back onboard the vessel. The reader instantly recognizes the crew member and records their check-in time, providing accurate attendance data in real-time. This technology eliminates the need for manual paperwork and reduces human error. It streamlines crew management, enhances security, and enables efficient tracking of crew movements, contributing to smooth operations on a superyacht.

Efficient Inventory Management

NFC tags can significantly streamline inventory management processes on a superyacht. By tagging items such as equipment, supplies, and provisions, crew members can effortlessly track and manage inventory levels. By utilising IDEA YACHT’s app and an NFC Tag, they can update stock information, reorder supplies, or receive alerts when stock levels are running low. This automation reduces manual errors, saves time, and optimises operational efficiency, ensuring that the yacht is always well-stocked and ready to cater to its guests’ needs.

Maintenance and Snagging

Maintenance is a critical aspect of managing a superyacht, and NFC tags offer invaluable support in this area. By affixing NFC tags to machinery, equipment, and various systems on board, crew members can track maintenance schedules, access manuals and technical information. When used alongside IDEA YACHT’s new Snag List feature, this proactive approach to maintenance allows for timely inspections, preventive measures, and swift troubleshooting, minimising downtime and ensuring that the yacht operates at its peak performance.
