Often go to the library friends, the library RFID technology have an understanding of?

RFID in the library automation management

Radio Frequency Identification (Radio Frequency Identification, RFID), is a non-contact automatic identification technology. With the traditional bar code rely on the photoelectric effect is different, RFID tags without manual operation, through the reading sensor can automatically send the information contained in the reader, thus realizing the book information processing automation. RFID can automatically read the label content, highly integrated data, and therefore can record more information about the goods. The read-write function supported by RFID can play a greater role in book circulation. After the use of RFID in libraries, it can realize the integration of book collection, borrowing and reading.

1, RFID technology in the library automation management in the application

1.1 in the borrowing and return of books in the application

Currently, the library of literature in addition to the optical bar code as a code of identification, for the safety of the also affixed with a magnetic stripe, in order to prevent the literature unauthorized carry out. After the application of RFID technology, RFID tags can replace barcodes and magnetic stripes, borrowing and returning books to eliminate demagnetization and the trouble of magnetism.

As RFID technology is a non-contact automatic identification technology, no manual operation is required when borrowing and returning books, but the use of radio frequency communication for automatic identification, tracking and management. After using the system, readers just need to put their library card and literature on the bottom of the lending equipment, RFID lending system will automatically scan and identify the reader's personal information and literature label information. After completing the borrowing process, the printer will automatically print out the borrowing list, which will be saved by the readers. When returning, the reader will send the documents to the recycling equipment, and the RFID reader installed in the equipment can automatically scan and record the book tags. Literature is sent by a conveyor belt to the recycling truck, unified and organized on the shelves, in order to be ready to borrow again.

1. 2 in the book inventory operations in the application

As the bar code reader must be in close proximity and no object blocking the case to identify the bar code, therefore, the inventory needs to be removed from the bookshelf each book. RFID tags to radio waves to transmit signals, and can be read at a time more than one RFID tags, simplifying the inventory work.

1.3 Application in book inventory work

Using radio wave induction equipment, book search work becomes very easy. Only need to use the handheld reader in the bookshelf can be swept across to read all the book data, inventory time will be greatly reduced.

1.4 Application in security anti-theft management

RFID radio wave anti-theft detection access control system with EAS (Electronic Anti-theft) function, will be integrated into the RFID reader, so that the library anti-theft system easier to deal with. Unauthorized collections being taken out of the library will be automatically alarmed. In addition to the alarm, the camera system will be triggered; this also avoids the drawbacks of magnetic stripe detection equipment due to the existence of a blind spot, resulting in books being taken out of the library and not detected.
