Introduction
RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) is the latest technology to be used in library theft detection, circulation systems. Unlike EM (Electro-Mechanical) and RF (Radio Frequency) systems, which have been used in libraries for decades, RFID-based systems move beyond security to become tracking systems that combine security with more efficient tracking of materials throughout the library.
rfLiMS (RFID Library Management & Security System) provides identification, tracking, security and automation handling to library items.The system enables accurate and fast multi item check-in and check-out, rapid shelf inventory and fast user friendly book return process.
Advantages over using bar codes on library material, our rfLiMS radically redesigns, how library material are handled and processed. rfLiMS is designed to be modulator and different modules can be used to build a system to meet your requirements; may it be security, automated handling, inventory management or complete RFID automation of the library processes.
Our rfLiMS is non-proprietary solution based on SIP2 and /NCIP,ISO 15693, ISO 14443(A/B) and 18000-3 standards. By adhering to RFID library standards, rfLiMS achieves interoperability with RFID products from different manufactures and solution providers, thus providing flexibility and scalability to the solution. Besides, the ISO compatible hardware (non-proprietary solution) assures availability and low cost.
The Main standard pertaining to RFID library are SIP/NCIP, ISO 15693, ISO 14443(A/B) defines the physical characteristics, air interface and communication protocol. The 18000 series of standards established RFID-specific communication protocols.
Daphne Systems has designed RFID hardware Products for Library. RFID redefining the library process to make every one task easier from student to library staff.
