whatt.io incendo - The Next Evolution in NFC Technology for Digital Product Passports
Los Angeles, USA - whatt.io INC, a pioneering force in Digital Product Passport integration, is thrilled to announce the official launch of whatt.io incendo. Building on our commitment to innovation in NFC technology, the whatt.io incendo is an Arduino-based microcontroller designed for an expansive range of applications including research, education, and industrial NFC tag programming.
Introducing whatt.io incendo: Bridging Technology with Sustainability
whatt.io incendo is not just a device; it's a comprehensive solution intended to enhance the integration of NFC tags in product manufacturing, leveraging the soon-to-be-released API of the whatt.io product lifecycle platform. This device embodies a significant step towards seamless NFC programming, crucial for embedding Digital Product Passports in products at scale.
Crafted with sustainability at its core, the incendo device is developed using Autodesk Fusion 360 and all chassis parts is produced with 100% recycled materials with 3D printing. It upholds our commitment to sustainability, equipped with whatt.io's own traceability features.
Two Editions, Infinite Possibilities
The incendo comes in two editions, each tailored to meet distinct manufacturing and programming needs:
- incendo White Edition: Geared towards automatic programming of NFC tags at the unit level for specific products. It automates the sequence of extracting unique IDs from NFC chips, interacting with the whatt.io platform to serialize product URLs and server-generated tokens into the Json file for the programming process. This edition is designed for industrial use, where automated NFC programming is essential.
- incendo Black Edition: Focuses on a broader scope of NFC programming, suitable for DPP level generic models and Batch IDs. It shares hardware specifications with the White Edition but offers more versatile software solutions. This edition is perfect for quick setup and programming of new DPP models or batches, capable of generating various types of Batch IDs and adding extra data fields to the NFC tags.
Open Source for Collaborative Innovation
True to our ethos of community engagement and innovation, the incendo device will be open-sourced. All development resources, including C++ code, will be accessible to whatt.io customers with API access, inviting an era of collaborative growth and development.
Ready for the Future
As we roll out whatt.io incendo 1.0, we extend an invitation to partners, makers, and researchers eager to explore and advance this technology. This launch is not just a milestone for whatt.io but a leap forward for the industry, enabling efficient, scalable, and sustainable manufacturing solutions.
Availability
The whatt.io incendo is ready to transform how industries approach NFC programming and product lifecycle management. Join us in this journey to redefine manufacturing standards and embrace the future of digital product passports.
