RFID Solution for (Client)

Overview

Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) is the technology that is slated to replace barcodes in
library applications. It is a form of identification that is contact-less and does not require line of
sight. The technology, though new to libraries, has been in use in other sectors for more than 20
years. The RFID tags are placed in books and generally covered with a property sticker.
Antennas of different sizes, based on application, are used to read the tags and manage the
various library functions.

The RFID Solution is a revolutionary application of automatic identification and data capture
(AIDC) technology. In a library environment, RFID technology resembles a traditional barcode
system in that it provides a means of assigning an ID to an item and reading that ID to perform
circulation transactions or to take inventory. But while RFID technology resembles a traditional
barcode system in application, the HCL RFID Solution is far superior in performance—plus it
offers built-in security.

How the HCL RFID Solution Works

HCL has partnered with leading RFID hardware security providers, leading manufacturers of
RFID hardware, to bring you the latest in RFID technology. A standard
RFID system consists of four main parts:

• RFID Tags - Flexible, paper-thin smart labels that are applied

directly to library items. Each RFID tag contains a tiny chip,
which is both readable and writable and can store information
to identify items in your collection. In library applications, it
also stores a security bit and if needed, information to support sorting systems.
Page 9 of 33
Proposal for RFID Security & Circulation Solution for (client)

• Passive (this is what mostly used now)

 Tags are inactive until the reader’s interrogation signal “wakes” them up
 Cheap, but short range only
• Semi-passive
 On-board battery, but cannot initiate communication
 Can serve as sensors, collect information from environment: for example,
“smart dust” for military applications
 More expensive, longer range
• Active
 On-board battery, can initiate communication

• RFID Member Card: Library members were given membership card enabled with
RFID chip inside. Member details are printed on plastic sheet which is pasted on the
RFID Member Card. Member has to use/bring along with the RFID Tag enabled
books/resources for the issue/return of the same.

• Readers – A
handheld or
EAS Gates
programmed to
capture radio
waves signals
omitted by the
RFID Tags. The
devices are responsible for the security and circulation of resources as programmed in
the server, it will alarm if the resource is taken out without proper process.

• Database: all the information related to RFID tags and corresponding information
about the resource/books/member is stored in the database which is stored in a
centralized location a PC or a Server. The software installed in the server verifies the
tag reading captured by the Reader (Transceiver).

The HCL RFID Solution can be implemented with any library automation system that uses the
Standard Interface Protocol (SIP/SIP2 & NCP IP protocol) for circulation transactions.

RFID System Components and Applications

In a basic RFID system; tags, antennas and a controllers are used to read the tags affixed to each
item in your collection. At various administrative points within your library, you can
implement specific read/write stations, each of which uses an RFID reader:

Page 16 of 33
Proposal for RFID Security & Circulation Solution for (client)

• RFID Programming Workstation - Serves as a programming workstation for tags, once

these tags are programmed with unique item number and other information. Once these
tags are activates the security bit for the theft detection.

• Self-Checkout Station - Allows patrons to self issue items without assistance from the
library staff. Complete with a touch screen and receipt printer, the Patron Self- Checkout
Station helps libraries to manage the human resources efficiently.

• Security Gates – These gates are the focal point of the RFID security system. When any
member try to steal a book/resource from the library which fitted with RFID activated
tags, the security gate will raise the alarm, whereas if the member had legitimately
issued the book/resources the gates will not raise any alarm. These gates are pride item
of any library.
•

• Staff Circulation Station – Very similar to Self Checkout Station but it is managed the
circulation staff rather than the library member themselves. But it is not like the
traditional circulation process or barcode, these process are mainly used in cases where
number of users are less or resources are costly or rare so that circulation staff is directly
involved in the issue process and inform the member about the resources, etc.

• Self-return Book Drop – It provide libraries the best service possible to its; members.
Library can place the Drop Box (Self Return Drop Box) anywhere in the campus for
example canteen, entry gate, etc and members can drop the books/resources in them
and take the return receipt for the same, without visiting the library. The return process
online, library will get online updates into it’s resource database. Libraries can make
arrangement for collecting the books at any given point of the time during the day.

Page 17 of 33
Proposal for RFID Security & Circulation Solution for (client)

• Auto Sorting Station – RFID enabled sorting machine will help in automatically sorting
the books/resources according to predefined sorting setup. These help the shelving staff
in sorting the books.

• Handheld RFID Scanner for stock taking and shelf rectification: Handheld scanner is
able to two function they are: -
o Stock Taking: Imagine a library with a collection of millions of books, and they
have to do stock taking of all the collection. Generally with collection more than
1-2 lakh, a library can take more than 3 months
to do a complete stock taking. Whereas, a RFID
handheld scanner can scan 50 books in a 05
seconds i.e. in one hour a library can take stock
taking of 30,000 books approximately and that
also 100% accurate.
o Shelf Rectification: imagine the condition of the user or the circulation staff in
locating a book/resources in the library which is hidden by students/user.
Libraries have option of rectifying the shelves in the library during the stock
taking process itself or under some periodic process with the help of the RFID
Handheld Scanner. RFID has to programmed in such a way that it exactly knows
the position of the book/resources in the shelf/library and it will beep/alarm if
the location of the book is not matched with the record.

Page 18 of 33

RFID Process

Perhaps the most difficult and disliked function in libraries is stock management and shelf man-
agement (rectification and re-shelving). Both the function becomes extremely simple with RFID
technology.

The components necessary for inventory management consist of a handheld reader and a Wand
with an IPAQ (hand-held personal digital assistant) at the end. The Reader weighs only 607
grams (0.6 kgs) and the Wand 435 grams (0.4 kg), making the weight of the entire unit
approximately one kilogram. A shelf can be inventoried in a matter of a few minutes as the
units can read up to 50-60 tags a minutes. The system allows for two different methods for
taking inventory.

There are two process used in the using the RFID handheld scanner.

The first method for taking inventory is to run the RFID Handheld Scanner across the shelf.
This process captures the RFID data to the PDA, which can store data for more than 6 million

Page 19 of 33
Proposal for RFID Security & Circulation Solution for (client)

books. This data is uploaded, through wired or wireless connections, to the ILS system, where
the software program performs the stock taking functions.

The second method involves a pre-processing step where data is downloaded from the ILS
system to the Reader. This method is more effective when there is a need to search for specific
books or to identify miss-shelved or missing books. The unit comes with an audible alarm to
provide appropriate feedback to the user.

All in all, this technology converts the otherwise tedious task of managing stock management to
aa convenient technique for helping libraries gain control over their collections.

EAS Gate

Library EAS security gate can be fixed with a video camera

The single-lane gate should consist of 02 (two) pedestals: Each pedestal is standalone and plug
and play to the main power. The Security Gates need to be linked to the library database, and
should still operate even when the Integrated Library Management Software System is down or
under maintenance.
