The
RFID industry consists of three links: upstream, midstream, and downstream. Currently, a relatively complete
RFID industry chain has been formed in China, from
RFID tags, equipment manufacturing to software development and integration. The upstream consists of chip and wire manufacturers, the midstream focuses on labels, readers, and solution solutions, and the downstream is mainly composed of end users and integrators. Taking library applications as an example, hardware solutions are mainly aimed at smart libraries
A supplier that introduces
RFID technology to provide hardware device support.
The overall business process of a smart library starts from the entry of books into the library. The first step is to process the books, attach electronic tags, and bind them to the management system; Step two, sort and put on shelves by category; The third step is to open up to the public, allowing readers to enter the library to borrow and return books and check for theft prevention. The final step is to regularly inventory books and generate various data. The hardware of a smart library is to incorporate
RFID devices into the above business processes
Help reduce the workload of librarians and enable the library to achieve digital intelligent management.
Label processing and sorting:
Use a label processing tablet integrated machine for unified parameter setting of labels, or use a label peeling machine to quickly bind books and labels. Book sorting is mainly aimed at the initial shelving of books and the re shelving of books after return, using a sorting machine integrated with book sorting readers and sorting equipment antennas for sorting operations.
Borrowing and returning equipment:
The borrowing and returning of books can be divided into two types: self-service and librarian operation. The self-service borrowing and returning operation is completed by a self-service borrowing and returning machine, which integrates the identity recognition module, book recognition module, and middleware into a self-service borrowing and returning device. The librarian operation is completed by the librarian workstation reader and reader card reader.
Book anti-theft detection:
The status detection of books is completed by security access control. By installing security doors at the entrance and exit of the library, contactless automatic recognition of book label status is achieved, and alarms are triggered for book labels that have not completed borrowing procedures.
Book inventory:
The librarian completes the book inventory work through a inventory vehicle composed of handheld inspection devices, handheld terminals, or inventory kits. In addition, smart bookshelves can also complete tedious inventory work.
Intelligent bookshelf enables 24-hour unmanned book borrowing and returning:
Intelligent Bookcase
Integrating a series of functions such as book storage, borrowing and returning, and reservation, the library can be open to the public 24 hours a day.
Through
RFID technology, all data generated during the process can be transmitted to the management system backend to generate data information, making it easy for managers to access and use.
