How RFID smart library works
RFID technology is widely used in smart libraries. Here are some common RFID smart library equipment:
RFID self-service borrowing and returning card processing machine: RFID self-service borrowing and returning card processing machine is one of the most widely used equipment in library intelligent services. Its technical principle is to use radio frequency identification technology to realize the identification of borrowing documents and book labels. It can not only realize self-service document processing, but also match readers' borrowing cards and borrowing information with books to realize the function of self-service borrowing and returning books.
RFID book security door: RFID book security door can be used for anti-theft and return management. It uses RFID readers to identify RFID tags on books. When readers pass through the door with books with RFID tags, if they have not gone through the borrowing and returning process, the door will automatically alarm.
RFID tag binding and stripping machine: RFID tag binding and stripping machine is a device used to realize the binding of books and RFID tags. When a new book enters the library, the staff can use it to write the book title, author and other information into the RFID tag, and then paste the tag on the book for subsequent self-service borrowing and anti-theft detection.
RFID library inventory cart: The RFID library inventory cart is equipped with an RFID reader/writer, which can be used to quickly count the number of books in the library. It can also automatically scan RFID tags when moving in the library, so that managers can promptly discover the situation of books being borrowed or not on the shelves.
RFID book inventory handheld terminal: The RFID book inventory handheld terminal uses RFID technology to quickly and accurately detect the number and location of all books in the library. Using the RFID book inventory machine, automated inventory can be achieved, which improves the efficiency and accuracy of inventory.
RFID librarian workstation: The librarian workstation is equipped with an RFID reader/writer. Readers can put the books they read on the RFID librarian workstation. The system will automatically identify the books and display relevant information on the terminal, which is convenient for readers to query, borrow and other operations.
The above are some common RFID smart library equipment. Through the application of RFID technology, they can improve the management efficiency and service quality of the library.
In addition, RFID smart bookcases and RFID smart bookshelves are gradually coming into the readers' sight. They all use RFID technology to manage and locate books.
RFID smart bookcase: Each book has an RFID tag. When the book is placed in the bookcase, the RFID reader will scan the RFID tag, match the book information with the reader information, and realize the self-service borrowing and returning function. Librarians can view the borrowing and returning status, book inventory and other information through the remote management system.
Smart bookshelf: The working principle is similar to that of smart bookcases, and the management and positioning of books are also realized through RFID technology. When readers take books from the bookshelf, the RFID reader will automatically identify the RFID tag, and the system will automatically update the book location information, thereby ensuring the management and safety of the books.
RFID smart bookcases and smart bookshelves can improve the service efficiency of the library and the reader's experience, so the market demand is relatively large. Especially in some large libraries such as university libraries and public libraries, the application of RFID smart bookcases and smart bookshelves has become an important means of self-service borrowing and returning in libraries.
