RFID smart cabinet--- bookcase: Highlights of high-performance book borrowing and returning smart cabinets

RFID smart cabinet for book is a high-performance device that uses RFID automatic identification technology to achieve book management. Its functional highlights mainly include the following aspects.

Book positioning and management:

Precise positioning: Through the built-in RFID reader and antenna, the location of books with RFID tags can be sensed in real time, and the book can be accurately informed of which layer or even the specific location, which is convenient for readers to find and managers to organize. For example, if a reader wants to find a certain book, the system can quickly locate the bookcase and shelf where the book is located, saving time to find the book.

Automatic reminder of wrong shelf: When books are misplaced, the RFID system will automatically generate a list of wrong shelves and remind the staff, which helps to keep the books in order and improve management efficiency.

Real-time monitoring: Continuously monitor books in real time, keep track of the books' on-shelf status, location and other information at any time, and prevent books from being lost or stolen.

Self-service borrowing and returning function:

Multiple login methods: Support multiple authentication methods such as card swiping (such as library RFID card, ID card, campus card, etc.), fingerprint or face recognition, etc. Borrowers can choose books to borrow or return independently, which is convenient to operate and realize unattended self-service borrowing and returning services. For example, readers only need to select the corresponding borrowing and returning function on the operation interface of the smart bookcase, and the operation can be completed after verification. It is not restricted by the opening hours of the library and can provide 24-hour uninterrupted service.

Automatic inventory and display: After closing the cabinet door, the RFID system will automatically inventory and display the information of borrowed or returned books in real time to ensure the accuracy of the borrowing and returning data, and it is also convenient for readers and managers to understand the borrowing and returning of books in a timely manner.

Multimedia display function:

Information display: The screen on the smart bookcase can display book information according to customer needs, such as book title, author, publisher, book introduction, etc., and can also provide book search function. Readers can quickly find the required books by entering keywords.

New book recommendation: Recommend new books, popular books to readers, or make personalized recommendations based on readers' reading preferences to help readers find more books of interest, improve reading experience and book circulation rate.

Big data analysis function:

Reader behavior analysis: The background can analyze readers' reading preferences based on the book borrowing data and personnel borrowing data, such as the types of books and authors that readers like, to provide reference for the library to purchase new books and optimize the collection.

Book popularity analysis: Understand the popularity of books, know which books are popular and which books have low borrowing rates, and make targeted book recommendations and adjust the collection layout to improve the utilization rate of book resources. For example, for popular books, the purchase quantity can be increased, and for books that have not been borrowed for a long time, replacement can be considered.

Reading evaluation: In scenarios such as schools, students' reading situation can be evaluated, such as reading volume, reading frequency, reading types, etc., to help schools understand students' reading habits and reading levels, and provide data support for reading education.

Other functional highlights:

Automatic shelving: When the smart RFID bookcase detects a new book, it will automatically upload its information to the database to realize the self-circulating borrowing and returning service of books, reduce manual intervention, and improve work efficiency.

Flexible customization: It can be customized according to different usage scenarios and needs, including appearance style, color matching, software functions, reader identification module, etc. For example, in a school library, the appearance can be customized to match the school style; in a community library, more suitable functional modules can be customized according to the characteristics of community residents.

Intercommunication and data sharing: The smart bookcase system supports data interaction with the library management system through a dedicated interface to realize data collection for library big data aggregation and analysis. Readers can enjoy the convenient service of borrowing and returning on any smart bookcase device, promoting the sharing and utilization of book resources.

Intelligent management: With the help of UHF RFID technology, intelligent management of books can be realized, and inventory, shelving and off-shelving of books can be completed without manual intervention. Even if readers return books out of order, the equipment can automatically complete the secondary shelving, which greatly saves labor costs and time costs and improves the efficiency and quality of book management.

Applicable products: Because smart RFID bookcases require multiple antennas, we recommend using a multi-port fixed RFID reader, such as an 8-port fixed reader or a 16-port RFID fixed reader, with a 9dbi near-field RFID antenna to achieve accurate reading results.
