Abstract
Embodiments of the invention relate to a method and system for programming wireless sensor tags, and such programmed wireless sensor tags. Embodiments of the method and apparatus can be utilized in food service operations, without utilizing a computing device or smartphone for programming the wireless sensor tag. Embodiments relate to a method and system for programming wireless temperature sensor tags, and such programmed wireless temperature sensor tags. Embodiments of the subject method use NFC-enabled cards with Near Field Communications (NFC) technology to quickly and simply program a wireless temperature sensor tag to read, collect, and report the temperature of a food item or ingredient. The use of this method enables food service operators, such as: quick-serve restaurants (QSRs), school cafeterias, and food service departments within supermarkets, to simplify the collection of temperature data within the retail space, as well as throughout the supply chain of products. The present invention also uses a display and at least one button on the wireless sensor tag for programming the wireless sensor tag.
