Setting up a Beambox e-badge using the Beambox app takes under 5 minutes. This guide walks through each step, from downloading the app to configuring NFC and QR codes on your Beambox Nikko, Nano, or Niji e-badge.
Step 1: Download the Beambox App
The Beambox app is available on Google Play. Search for "Beambox" or follow this link from your phone: the app handles badge pairing, content management, profile creation, and remote updates across the Beambox product lineup.
Step 2: Create Your Account or Log In
Open the app, create an account with your email, or log in via existing credentials. The account is tied to your badge fleet — multiple badges can be managed from a single account.
Step 3: Pair Your Badge via Bluetooth
- Turn on your Beambox badge by holding the power button for 3 seconds.
- Open the Beambox app and tap "Add Badge" or "Pair Badge."
- Ensure Bluetooth is enabled on your phone. The app will scan for nearby Beambox badges.
- Select your badge from the device list and confirm the pairing code shown on the badge screen matches the app.
Pairing is complete when the app shows the badge as connected and displays the current screen content.
Step 4: Create a Profile
Once paired, create a profile for the badge. A profile contains the content that appears on the badge screen:
- Name and title — For staff badges, conference attendee names, or cosplay character names.
- Company or organization — Displayed below the name.
- Profile image or logo — Upload from your phone's photo library.
- QR code — Optional. Useful for linking to booking pages, social media, or event surveys.
Beambox supports multiple profiles per badge. Create and save several profiles (e.g., different cosplay characters, different work roles, different event themes) and switch between them via the app in one tap.
Step 5: Configure NFC Settings
For Beambox Nikko: tap "NFC Settings" in the app to configure what happens when the badge is scanned by an NFC reader. Options include:
- Digital business card — Tap your badge against another Beambox Nikko to exchange contact details.
- URL redirect — Badge is tapped against a reader that redirects to a specified URL (event registration, survey, social media).
- Registration confirmation — Badge tap confirms attendance at a session or access to a zone.
Step 6: Assign Content to the Badge
Tap "Send to Badge" in the app to push the current profile content to the badge screen. The content updates within seconds. The badge remembers everything saved, so it reconnects in the same state when powered on again.
Step 7: Test Remote Updates
Modify the profile content and tap "Send to Badge" again to confirm the screen updates without physical contact with the badge. This is critical for event organizers managing large fleets — if content can be updated remotely, the badges need never be touched individually.
