# Selecting a related record via NFC

**Published on October 27, 2025**

## Context

Until now, selecting a related record (personnel, equipment, gear, etc.) was only possible via **manual entry** (searching in the list) or by scanning a **QR code**.

A new option is now available: **NFC selection**.

Simply scan a configured NFC badge or tag, and Daxium-Air instantly identifies and opens the right record.

## How does it work?

**1. Configure the related record** (e.g. an employee, a piece of equipment).

**2. Associate an NFC badge or tag** with that record, directly from the Daxium-Air app.

**3. Scan the tag** from a mission, a form, or a workflow step — the corresponding record is automatically selected.

## Use cases

**Assigning an employee to a mission.** The operator scans the employee's NFC badge — Daxium-Air automatically selects their record and links it to the current mission. No risk of selection errors, and time saved on every assignment.

**Identifying equipment during a maintenance visit.** The technician scans the NFC tag attached to the machine — the app opens the record for the correct equipment directly. Daxium-Air logs the read as proof of visit, for perfect traceability.

## Key benefits

* **Instant:** no more searching — a single NFC read is enough.
* **Error-free:** each badge or tag is unique and tied to a single record.
* **Secure:** the tag only contains an identifier, and access remains governed by user permissions.
* **Enhanced traceability:** every read is logged and proves on-site presence.
