No-Code, Low-Code App Creator Wins NFC Innovation Award

App Creator and NFC innovation award

IoTize wins NFC innovation award with low-code app design environment that accelerates creation of smartphone apps.

Montbonnot, France, 10 October, 2024 -- Today, IoTize announced that their App Creator design environment received the NFC innovation award at the Vision NFC event organized by the NFC Forum in Nice, France this week.

The App Creator design environment enables rapid, low-code mobile app design for NFC tags. Leveraging IoTize NFC libraries and App Creator's graphical environment, designers create apps just by linking nodes in a logic diagram. Thanks to this object-oriented approach, App Creator dramatically reduces the know-how and coding required to design apps that use a smartphone's NFC interface.

To demonstrate the tool's capabilities, IoTize even created their own passport reader sample app in just a few days. This sample is available to App Creator users to bootstrap their NFC projects.

"Creating smartphone apps that use NFC can be complicated. By providing designers this graphical, low-code design environment, we vastly simplify their projects so that more companies can take advantage of NFC and its unique ease-of-use in everything from appliance configuration to access control," explained Francis Lamotte, IoTize's President who received the award.

App Creator is already available to the public. Users can get free access by creating an account on the IoTize developer cloud.

IoTize's App Creator is one of 5 NFC award winners from a field of 60 entries worldwide. The NFC Awards are organized by the NFC Forum, a non-profit industry association comprised of leading mobile communications, semiconductor, and consumer electronics companies with the mission of promoting the use of Near Field Communication by developing specifications, ensuring interoperability, and educating the market about NFC technology.

About the NFC Passport Demo...

App Creator simplifies NFC app development for any NFC tag with its WYSIWYG, drag-and-drop design environment and our NFC libraries for iOS and Android. Designers can easily link NFC function nodes without coding — dramatically accelerating the design process.

Why A Passport Reader App?

NFC can be used for anything from appliance configuration to access control. Our Passport Reader shows how App Creator supports any NFC tag, including passports and ID cards. This free sample app showcases the ease of creating NFC apps for the most complex uses with minimal expertise.

Explore the Passport Reader sample app, its UI, data flow, and JavaScript routines. It provides a well structured, complete example of NFC functions and advanced features like file decryption that you can use in your own app.
