Serialized, Customizable NFC Gear Patches Redefine Accountability in the Field

Flexsystems USA is setting a new standard for gear accountability with FLEX SMART LINK, a customizable, serialized NFC technology embedded directly into durable PVC gear patches and components. Built for military, law enforcement, OEM manufacturers, training environments, and industrial operations, FLEX SMART LINK turns everyday gear into secure, data-driven assets—activated instantly with a tap of a smartphone.

This is not consumer gimmickry or novelty tagging.

FLEX SMART LINK is purpose-built for real-world operations—engineered to withstand harsh environments while delivering reliable, programmable performance where accountability matters most.

What FLEX SMART LINK Enables
Serialized NFC identities assigned to individual gear patches, parts, and components
Tap-based access to training materials, SOPs, manuals, checklists, and task assignments
Authentication and anti-counterfeit protection for mission-critical and branded equipment
Inventory visibility and asset tracking through cloud-connected systems
U.S.-manufactured PVC patches designed for heat, moisture, abrasion, and field use

Designed for Accountability at Scale
With FLEX SMART LINK, organizations gain immediate insight into how gear is issued, used, maintained, and verified. Each scan creates actionable data—supporting training compliance, chain-of-custody documentation, and lifecycle tracking without requiring specialized hardware.

One patch. One identity. Total visibility.
Whether deployed across a tactical unit, manufacturing floor, or training program, FLEX SMART LINK delivers a connected ecosystem where equipment, information, and accountability move together.
