Abstract
A method, system and apparatus for automatically linking technical information to a near field communication (NFC) tag comprises programming and/or encoding the NFC tag with a network address of a data source containing technical information, such as maintenance and servicing information, of an object, and then adhering a NFC tag body to that object. When the object is being serviced or maintained by an end user, the end user only needs to tap the NFC tag with a NFC enabled device in order to automatically access the technical information. In some embodiments, the NFC tag body is a tag that typically would otherwise be adhered to the object.
