NFC technology is extensively used in access control systems for physical security. Organizations use NFC-enabled smart cards, wristbands, or smartphones to control access to buildings, offices, and restricted areas. NFC’s ability to provide secure, encrypted communication makes it a preferred solution for such applications. Furthermore, NFC can be used for authentication and verification through NFC-enabled ID cards for secure access to networks and systems.

NFC technology is widely used in ticketing systems, especially in public transportation. Commuters can use NFC-enabled cards or smartphones to tap and pay for their rides quickly, making the entire process faster and more efficient. Cities around the world, including London (Oyster cards), New York (MetroCards), and Tokyo (Suica cards), have adopted NFC technology for their public transportation systems. Additionally, NFC is being integrated into event tickets, concert passes, and boarding passes for air travel, offering consumers a seamless experience.

In Portugal, the automotive sector significantly contributes to the national economy and exports, with over 300,000 vehicles shipped in 2022, representing more than 96% of total vehicle production.
