About this Video Demonstration
Real-World Institutional Library RFID Automation: Jayaprakash Narayan Library Explore the complete on-site deployment of RFID Softwares' smart library ecosystem at the historic Jayaprakash Narayan Library. This deployment showcases full modernization from traditional manual register sign-outs to automated self-service circulation, high-frequency security pedestals, and handheld shelf audit. 1. Operational Library Challenges Addressed • High Student Footfall & Circulation Bottlenecks: Long queues at circulation counters during exam seasons and semester commencement. • Shelf Misplacement & Lost Cataloging: Thousands of research books placed on incorrect shelves, rendering them virtually lost to patrons. • Unreturned Material Prevention: Maintaining 100% collection protection without requiring intrusive physical bag checks at library exits. 2. Core Technological Architecture • ISO 15693 / 18000-3 High-Frequency (HF) Book Inlays: High-memory memory chips embedded into inside back covers with 50+ year data retention. • Self-Check-In / Self-Check-Out Kiosk: Dual-monitor touchscreen station where students tap patron smart cards and place stacks of up to 5 books simultaneously for instant 1-second borrowing. • Koha ILS / SIP2 Middleware Integration: Certified bidirectional connector updating Koha circulation records in real time over local LAN. • 3D Dual-Pedestal EAS Security Gates: Walk-through entrance detection corridor sounding alarms if unborrowed materials cross exit thresholds. • Handheld Shelf Audit Wand: Mobile scanner auditing entire stacks at 30 books per second to detect misplaced volumes instantly.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can multiple books be checked out simultaneously at the library kiosk? ▼
Yes. The self-service kiosk features an anti-collision HF antenna pad that interrogates and processes stacks of up to 5 to 8 books in a single tap.
How does the system integrate with existing Koha Library Management Software? ▼
RFID Softwares provides a pre-configured 3M SIP2 connector service that syncs patron data, checkout timestamps, and book inventory directly into Koha with zero database modification.
What happens if a student attempts to carry an unborrowed book through exit gates? ▼
The book tag's security bit remains activated. When crossing between the 3D gate pedestals, the antenna senses the active bit and triggers an acoustic chime and red LED indicator.
