Abstract: A distribution system can include components, near field communication tags, a depository, and a computing device. A first tag can be engaged with a first component. A second tag can be engaged with a second component. Each tag can have a memory storing an identity record correlated to the respective component and a logistic record being the first of the two alternative values. The first component bearing the first near field communication tag and the second component bearing the second near field communication tag can be positioned in the depository. The computing device can have one or more processors and be configured to receive a first input including the first identity record and to change the first logistic record stored in the memory of one of the near field communication tags to a second of the two alternative values.
