Daily work flow of a librarian includes, among other things, checking in and out of books for readers. Using RFID, we can read all the information on the book tag and check it in our out instantaneously it  can be read from RFID tags much faster than from barcodes and that we can do this for several books in a stack  at the same time.

RFID based library management system integrates the security tagging ( Electromagnetic strips - EM) and library classification information tag ( barcode) into single RFID tag, the RFID tag is then used for checking in/out of the book and security at the gates. Moreover RFID tags are  said to have life expectancy of 50 years and withstand 100,000 transactions ( memory re-write). this makes replacement of a tag very infrequent activity in the lifetime of the book. 

Our RFID based Library management system is one of our IoT enabled technology where by it incorporates smart book drop bin, which enables self check in operation. When a reader returns a book on book drop bin, it will read the RFID tag, connect to the system and check the book in as returned. These Book Drops can be deployed locally in the library or remotely in schools, shopping malls, box office or even out on the street in a secured book drop kiosk.

As a unique feature of RFID systems, the shelf management component of the RFID based Library management system have the ability to scan books on the shelves for inventory purposes without tipping them out or removing them. A hand-held inventory reader can be moved rapidly across a shelf of books to read all of the unique identification information. Using wireless technology, it is possible not only to update the inventory, but also to identify items which are out of proper order.
