General description

RFID systems based on NXP's ICODE smart label technology make life easier for visitors and librarians through faster checkout, easier returns, simpler inventory and extra security. This market leading solution is already used in many libraries around the world.

Background information

For rental services like libraries and video stores, service levels and product availability are absolutely vital. With thousands of visitors choosing from millions books, CDs, videos, computer games and DVDs, controlling and storing inventory pose huge challenges. The rental property must be easily accessible to bona fide borrowers while also being adequately protected against theft.

RFID labels can be easily applied to all types of media from books and magazines to videos and CDs. They enable automated self-checkout and -return systems which automatically log when the media are borrowed and returned. This cuts down on queuing times, encouraging more people to visit the library. It also frees librarians from mundane and repetitive tasks, giving them more time for other important jobs.

Taking inventories is also speeded up. Handheld readers can be used to quickly, conveniently and reliably locate misplaced books. In addition, on-chip EAS functionality offers the highest levels of theft protection.

Standards
ISO 15693 / ISO 18000-3 has become the accepted RFID standard for library applications. ICODE is not only fully compliant with this standard, it offers the longest reading range of any standard-based technology. This has led to it becoming the most popular RFID choice for libraries around the world.
