collection management• Track and locate items easily• Releasing staff from mundane repetitive tasks• Enhance security with item identification on
alarm• 24/7 or extended operating hours• Improve library efficiency and save cost!• Future enhancement with RFID technology
Why UHF RFID?
• Small tag size which is easily hidden in the book like EM Strip
• Longer read range for wider library entrance, handy inventory, and multiple items processing
• Fast read/write speed allows better detection, quicker transaction and speedy inventory
• Mature technology with many successful implementations
• Lower cost enable quick ROI and lower running cost
