How does the "intelligence" of the RFID smart library manifest itself?

RFID technology is widely used in smart libraries. Here are some common RFID smart library devices.

RFID self-service borrowing and returning machine: The RFID self-service borrowing and returning machine is one of the most widely used devices in intelligent services in libraries. Its technical principle is to use RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) technology to identify library cards and book labels, which not only can achieve self-service card processing, but also can match readers' borrowing information with books, and achieve the function of self-service borrowing and returning books.

RFID book security gate: RFID book security gate can be used for anti-theft and return management. It uses RFID readers to identify RFID tags on books. When a reader carrying a book with an RFID tag passes through the gate, if it has not gone through the borrowing and returning process, the gate will automatically alarm.

RFID Tag Binding and Stripping Machine: The RFID tag binding and stripping machine is a device used to bind books with RFID tags. When new books enter the library, staff can use it to write the book title, author, and other information into the RFID tag, and then attach the tag to the book for subsequent self-service borrowing, returning, and theft detection.

RFID Library Inventory Cart: The RFID library inventory cart is equipped with an RFID reader/writer and can be used to quickly count the number of books in the library. It can also automatically scan RFID tags when moving around the library, allowing management to promptly identify books that have been borrowed or not yet shelved.

RFID Library Inventory Handheld Terminal: The RFID library inventory handheld terminal uses RFID technology to quickly and accurately detect the number and location of all books in the library. With an RFID library inventory machine, automated inventory can be achieved, improving inventory efficiency and accuracy.

RFID Librarian Workstation: The librarian workstation is equipped with an RFID reader/writer. Readers can place the books they have read on the RFID librarian workstation, and the system will automatically identify the books and display relevant information on the terminal, making it convenient for readers to perform searches, 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 also gradually entering the readers' sight. They both use RFID technology to manage and locate books.

RFID Smart Bookcase: Each book is equipped with an RFID tag. When the book is placed in the bookcase, the RFID reader/writer will scan the RFID tag and match the book information with the reader information to achieve self-service borrowing and returning. The librarian can view borrowing and returning status, book inventory, and other information through a remote management system.

Smart Bookshelf: The working principle is similar to that of a smart bookcase, which also uses RFID technology to manage and locate books. When readers take books from the bookshelf, the RFID reader/writer will automatically recognize the RFID tag, and the system will update the book's location information automatically, ensuring the management and security of books.

RFID smart bookcases and smart bookshelves can improve the service efficiency of libraries and enhance the user experience of readers, thus they have a high market demand. Especially in 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.
