RFID Library Application System

RFID technology serves as the basis for a smart library service ecosystem that connects between hardware devices or systems. It improves the core competitiveness of libraries and facilitates a 24-hour self-service mechanism for readers.

InterRead Integrated Library Automation System：The system, designed for small and medium-sized libraries supports drop-in installation and has a web-based user interface. Integration of indexing, purchasing, distribution, periodicals, management and query models enhance management efficiency and ease of query.
iNspire Library Services Platform：The platform was developed to assist academic or large libraries with library collection searches and delivery services. An electronic resource management module can also be integrated to provide readers with integrated searching of printed resources and electronic collections.
Electronic Resource Management (ERM) System：The system is designed for centralized management of databases for electronic periodical and e-books. Functions include querying, book recommendation, automatic listing/de-listing, and reader behavior analysis; it can be used with Ezproxy to query campus databases at any time and place.
iReserve Seats Reservation System：Reservation services for all spaces and seating within the library are all integrated so that a single card is all that’s needed to access all services. The modular design means it can be introduced on demand by libraries.
Handheld Inventory Reader：The handheld reader can scan books with RFID tags regardless of their size and thickness at a quick and steady pace. Inventory data can also be uploaded or downloaded in real time for cross-checking with the library automation system.
UHF Book Tag：The long, strip-like antenna can be completely concealed within a book so that it can be deliberately removed by the reader; book tags also support repeated read/writes and different types of collection. It is available with single- or double-sided adhesives.

iReserve Seats Reservation Machine：The machine integrates the reservation system for all library spaces and seats for easy access with just one card. These include self-service registration, reservation and check-in services for readers. Real-time availability of each seating area can be viewed by floor, date and time slot. Statistics on usage, reservations and time slots can also be generated.
24hr Self-Service Locker：Offers 7 X 24 self-service pickup of reserved or ordered books. The service is easy for readers to use and the pickup/borrowing process has just 3 easy steps . The modular design means locker quantity and configuration can be customized. Additional lockers can be added to the existing unit at any time as well.
Auto Sorter System：Once books are returned to the automatic returns box, they are automatically sorted by the system to accelerate processing time and boost circulation.
Self-Service Station：Provides readers with self-service borrowing, return, history query, and extension services. It reduces the amount of queuing time and enhances privacy. A variety of models are available and they can be placed anywhere within a library.
Holds Enquiry Station：Readers can quickly locate the books that they have a hold on and also reserve books they are interested in. UHF support only and can only be used with Smart Bookshelf.

Security Gate：RFID technology can be controlled by security codes or mobile checkout; the security gate sounds an alert if a reader passes through the gate with books that have not yet been checked out.

One-touch self-service operation means books can be sterilized, dusted and perfumed within 30 seconds without any damage to ensure a safe reading experience.
