NFC Stickers

Works offline: Yes | You'll need: NFC-enabled phone + NTAG215/216 stickers

NFC stickers are small adhesive tags you can attach to equipment, gates, pens, or medication bottles. Tap your phone on the sticker to instantly identify the item in Kilnside.

How NFC Stickers Work

Each sticker has a unique ID and can store a short web link. When you tap your phone on a sticker, Kilnside looks up the linked asset and shows you its details and available actions.

Linking a Sticker to an Asset

From an Unknown Sticker

1. Tap your phone on the sticker
2. Kilnside shows "Unknown tag" with options
3. Tap Link to asset
4. Search for the asset by name
5. Select it — done

From an Asset

1. Find the asset in the Animals tab or via search
2. Tap Pair Tag
3. Hold your phone near the NFC sticker
4. Kilnside links the sticker and writes the asset URL to it

Using Stickers Day-to-Day

Once linked, just tap your phone on the sticker. Kilnside shows the asset with quick action buttons — weigh, treat, move, etc.

Tips

• Waterproof stickers (epoxy-coated NTAG216) work best outdoors
• Stickers work offline — the lookup uses your phone's local database
• One sticker per asset — each sticker links to exactly one thing
• Stickers survive without power — they're passive and last indefinitely
• Phone must have NFC — most modern Android phones do. Check Settings → Connected devices.
