1. A system to monitor and control a plurality of valves in process control using Near-Field communication (NFC), said system comprising:

  • a NFC-Equipment Interface Unit (NFC-EIU), wherein said NFC-EIU comprises of a microcontroller and a NFC module, said microcontroller configured to;

    obtain at least one parameter from at least one of a pressure valve and a flow valve through a Local Control Unit (LCU), wherein said at least one parameter comprises a Set-Reset, a Process Value (PV), a Set point Value (SP), and a Local-Remote mode;

    a handheld device connected with said NFC-EIU, wherein said handheld device is configured to;

    receive said at least one parameter from said NFC-EIU to monitor said at least one parameter;

    analyze said at least one parameter; and

    control at least one of said pressure valve and said flow valve based on said analysis.
