Description

The RFID Library Management System with KOHA Integration by RFID Softwares transforms how Indian schools, colleges, universities, and public libraries manage their collections. By combining UHF RFID technology with KOHA — the world's most widely used open-source library management system — we deliver a complete, scalable library automation solution at a fraction of proprietary system costs. Book checkout time drops to under 10 seconds, inventory accuracy improves to 99.8%, and inventory audits that previously took days are completed in hours. Self-service kiosks reduce librarian workload by 70%, freeing staff for higher-value tasks. Used by 1,500+ institutions across India — including IITs, NITs, central universities, public libraries, and corporate libraries at Tata, Infosys, and Wipro — KOHA is proven at scale. Our RFID integration adds the hardware layer (tags, readers, security gates) and custom software connectors that make it work seamlessly with your physical collection. Ideal for: - School and college libraries - University and research institution libraries - Public and district libraries - Corporate and special libraries

Questions

What is the cost of an RFID library management system in India?
Budgets usually start near ₹28,000 for compact school stacks and rise with tag volume, gate lanes, kiosk count, and KOHA customisation. We separate one-time hardware from annual support so finance teams can amortise tags across fiscal years.
Is KOHA free? What am I paying RFID Softwares for?
KOHA remains open-source. Your spend covers UHF tags, readers or gates, SIP2 or NCIP style connectors, circulation business rules, on-site tagging labour, training, and helpdesk. Optional cloud sync layers are priced by branch count.
How long does RFID library system implementation take?
Expect roughly two to four weeks for a single branch: sequential tagging sprints, SIP2 testing against KOHA, gate tuning to minimise false alarms, and circulation desk rehearsal. Large university hubs may parallelise by floor.
Can the solution support multi-branch borrowing and returns?
Yes. Holdings and item records stay authoritative in KOHA while RFID events push through an integration hub so returns at any branch clear the member account in near real time, subject to your KOHA transit rules.
How do you handle tag collision in dense stacks?
Anti-collision algorithms on UHF readers sequence hundreds of tags per second. Shelf maps and power thresholds are tuned so adjacent aisles do not cross-read, and staff handheld audits validate stray reads before stock writes.
What about legacy barcodes on older acquisitions?
Hybrid workflows let you finish a gen2 RFID tagging programme while scanners still accept barcodes during the transition. Reports can flag items that are RFID-only versus dual-encoded until the collection is complete.
Is member PII stored in compliance with Indian expectations?
Personally identifiable fields stay inside KOHA wherever possible; RFID middleware stores pseudonymous item and transaction identifiers. TLS in transit, least-privilege service accounts, and optional on-prem brokers are standard patterns.
What ongoing maintenance should we plan for?
Plan for annual tag top-ups for replacements, firmware updates on readers, and database housekeeping. AMC packages cover remote health checks on gates and helpdesk hours aligned with exam-season peaks.
