Conclusions


3/30

Operated Manually

Most Libraries are Staff intensive

Large amount of Routine Procedures

Difficult for Searching a specific book

Card based Issue of Books

Technology Used

Barcode Technology for identification

Very cost effective

Current Library Management System


4/30

Drawbacks of Barcode Technology: Barcode readers require a direct line of sight, using laser

technology

Scan and read one tag at a time and also time consuming

Human intervention is required to scan a barcode It should be visible on the product for scanning

Does not have read/write memory

The readability of the barcode can be impaired by dirt,

moisture, abrasion and packaging etc.. Less read range & Holds fixed and Limited data.

Technology is old and outdated

cannot read a bar code if there is any obstacle between the

reader and the bar code

Current Library Management System contd..


5/30

Introduction of RFID

Non line of sight technology for identification of objects

Robust and reliable in tough environments

Bulk detection

Bidirectional communication Long read range

Vulnerability to damage minimized

Inventory efficiency

Faster Return on investment (ROI)


6/30

Reduces Staff stress and increases management efficiency Can help prevent theft

Fastest, easiest, most efficient way to track, locate & manage

library materials

Efficient Book circulation & management

Library inventory tracking in minutes instead of hours

Multiple books can be read simultaneously

Unique ID of the RFID tag prevents counterfeiting

Automated material handling

Faster Check-in / Check-out

Longevity of Tags Shelf life equivalent to the Book

Components of RFID Library

Management System


17/30

Handheld Reader RFID Hand Held reader - Integrated with

long distance laser barcode scanner and

provides with handwriting input,

support signature capture function

A compact and light weight hand helddevice

Comfortable to use

High storage capacity Multi Functional (such as shelving,

sorting, searching, weeding andreading)

Enhanced Security.

HARDWARE RFID Hand held Reader


18/30

Robust industrial-class platform

Support for 4 (XR440) or up to 8 (XR480) read points

facilitates decreased deployment complexity and increased

flexibility of RFID implementations

Enterprise connectivity through control I/O ports

Fixed Reader

XR 480- works in your large-

scale RFID solution and enjoy

maximum functionality for high-

performance reading and writingand efficient radio frequency

communication

HARDWARE RFID Fixed reader


19/30

RFID Antennas AN 480- Contains Single Port, offers

maximum performance and

flexibility.

The antenna offers the

environmental sealing required to

enable indoor and outdoor use

Wide frequency range

Low axial ratio is nearly 50 percent

lower and delivering a more uniform

gain and better performance.

HARDWARE RFID Fixed reader Antenna


20/30

DVR System

Digital surveillance DVR kit -

Contains DVR, 4 cameras

and a Monitor with cables.

Long time recording of the

data

Break-ins and Theft

Interactive Monitoring Provides so much protection

and security

HARDWARE CCTV surveillance and DVR


21/30

Security Alarm System

100% wireless configuration and installation

Automatic dialing of 8 pre-set phone numbers Alarming detection area cue tone for remote monitoring

Digital high-fidelity voice message recording, Interactive

Monitoring

Convenient operation by remote control

HARDWARE Security Alarm Systems


22/30

RFID TagsALN-9640 Pre programmed with a unique,

unalterable 64-bit serial number (ideal for

authentication)

User Memory can be Read Password

protected

64-bit blocks, prohibiting unintended Reads

without an access passwordAvailable in high-yield, high-capacity

dry/wet inlay rolls for high volume

converting processes

HARDWARE Security Alarm Systems


23/30

Face Recognition System IFACE 302 - Integrated 630MHz high speed Multi-Bio processor and high

definition infrared camera enables user identification in the dark environment.

Multi-model communications includes RS232/485, TCP/IP, optional Wi-Fi orGPRS.

Optional built-in 2000 mAh battery eliminates the trouble of power-failure

HARDWARE Biometric Access system


24/30

Kiosk With PC

Kiosk with PC - stand alone multi

protocol Self Check-in / Check-

out kiosk primarily for self issue

and return of books in Library.

Frees staff to better service

patrons

Speeds up book check-in / check-

out Reduces queuing time

Provides patron privacy

Better space planning

KEY COMEHARDWARE Book drop and Issue kiosk


25/30

ERP solution + Database Maintenance

A low cost ERP solution will be chosen to manage the booksin an efficient way with proper maintenance of database.

Software for Handheld reader

This software is used to search the books, issue the books

and for the audit of the books.Software for Fixed reader

This software is used for theft detection and the alarm goes

ON if any such case of theft detected.

App for Sequence tag generation with encryptionfacility (EPC Generation)

This software generates EPC and prints the same onto the

labels.

SOFTWARE


26/30

Every book should be tagged with RFID Inlays /

Labels

One or two Librarians will be responsible for theissue of the books and return of books in case ofModel I. Where as Model II and III can becompletely automated.

RFID Hand held reader can be used to conductaudit process which will be helpful for inventory

management of Library Searching of the books is very easy even in Large

Libraries

SOFTWARE REQUIREMENTSIMPLEMENTATION


27/30

Libraries:

Stock management

Improved patron services

Flexibility and modularityLibrary Staff:

Less time needed for circulation operations

Efficient Inventory management

Reducing Repetitive Stress Injuries (RSI)

SOFTWARE REQUIREMENTSBENEFITS OF USING RFID IN LBMS


28/30

Patrons:

Patrons will spend less time waiting in check-outlines by using Self Check in - Check out systems.

Patrons find what they are looking for quickly &

easily. Reminders for due dates allows patrons to submit

borrowed materials in time.

Uses of book drops & return chutes for returninglibrary material, allows for flexible timings.

RFID enabled patron cards allows for easy patron

identification.

BENEFITS to PATRONS


29/30

RFID technology is taking off in libraries at anincreasingly rapid pace. It is easy to envision that,

the RFID tag contents will increase in power,

prices are expected to decline and tag will

dramatically improve its efficiency, security and

accuracy.
