What is RFID ?
RFID is a abbreviation for Radio Frequency Identification. Radio waves are used to interrogate the tagged objects for information. The RFID Tags answer to the interrogator with data stores on the tag. Each Tag has data storage memory on itself.
Way to Go !
With the advent of RFID technology, object Identification has been boosted to a higher level of technology. No longer restricted to the Big Guys, its now quite affordable and has a much realistic return of investments. We help implement for you, a value-for-money RFID solution that makes object identification seem like magic!

A S Books are checked out by patrons and then returned and re–shelved, a tremendous amount of labor is required to move and track them.

- Traditional security systems have reached their limit in current library management operations. This is even more important because of the demand on libraries to:
-
Increase productivity as budgets tighten .
-
Reduce material handling time.
-
Perform more frequent and accurate inventory to better manage collections .
-
Improve ergonomics of repetitive tasks .
-
Improve customer service.
The RFID solution
RFID is the new technology that revolutionizes your library management.
- The RFID tag brings new functionality and efficiency to all stages of the library management process. The tags communicate to RFID stations, which are plug and play with any integrated library system, enabling real–time database updates.
-
The RFID tag is paper thin, wireless, readable, and writable. Libraries usually apply it inside the cover of any item. It can be bare or converted into a paper label to be printed with a barcode or with your library’s logo. An antitheft function can be built into RFID tags.
-
Improve the speed and ergonomics of item processing
-
Improve collection management due to the reprogrammable memory of the chip that can record information such as the location of the book in the library, statistics, etc.
-
Assist you and your patrons by integrating the antitheft function at all stages of the life of the item: initial tagging, check–in, and checkout
Increase item theft protection without any risk of damage from an advanced security systems.
-
With RFID you don’t need to open the book, look for the barcode, and then deactivate the traditional security system, because it’s all done in one automatic process.
-
Moreover, RFID allows for multiple checkout of books. If the antitheft is integrated into the chip, the ID is then read while the antitheft bit is deactivated. It helps your library reduce material handling, speed up checkout, and reduce patron lines.
-
If your library also employs RFID enabled patron cards, the identification of the patron can be read with the same reader at the same time.
