  1. Update

  2. Components • - tags, readers and antennas • - staff stations • - self checkout stations • - inventory wand • - return chute • - sortation equipment • - EAS (electronic article surveillance) pedestals

  3. An Overview of RFID Standards Two types of RFID Standards Technology Standards • ISO 15693 • ISO 18000 • MIT epc Application Standards • GTAG – Supply Chain (EAN/UCC) • ANSI MH 10.8.4 – Returnable Containers & Pallets • ANSI MH 10.8.8 – Parcels, Packages, & Flat Mail • ISO 18185 – Freight Containers/Electric Seals • AIAG – Automotive Industry • UPU – Universal Postal Union • IATA – Airline Industry

  4. Define 3 things : • Physical Layer • Protocols • Anti-collision All these relate to the“Air Interface” between the reader and the tag RFID Technology Standards

  5. ITEM TAGGING PALLET TAGGING Standard Committees <134 KHz 13.56 MHz 900 MHz 2.45 GHz Applications Any application ISO 18000 GTAG Retail & logistics RFID chips/tags MIT (ePC) Retail & logistics Access Control ISO 15693 Ticketing Mifare (Type A) ISO 14443 Dominance of 13.56MHz in Standards Contactless cards

  6. ISO For Libraries • ISO 18000 is the standard for RFID applications • No ISO standard exists for libraries because there is no definition of: • The memory size • Data formats within the memory • Security features • TAGSYS readers able to read any ISO chips

  7. Tags • - for books • - for DVD/CD's • - for VHS tapes • - Magnetic media (VHS tapes, cassette tapes) preservation • - no EM equipment (sometimes)

  8. Data storage on the tag • - Itemid • - theft bit • - shelving information • - date of circulation

  9. Improved staff transactions • - no barcode hunting • - no EM strip to process (well, sometimes)

  10. Self checkout stations • - issues with barcoded material and barcoded patron card • - height makes a difference • - kids love it • - increased circulation (reduced lines)

  11. Bulk transactions • - multiple item checkin • - multiple item checkout

  12. FASTRAC Inventory Control Benefits • Libraries collection management easier, faster, and more accurate • Dual-mode inventory control • Allows libraries to leverage the reporting facilities of the ILS • Allows libraries to conduct real-time inventory • Search mode allows for quick identification and processing of requests or weeding • Assists in easy identification of branch rotation collection • Ergonomic design prevents injury by preventing the need to bend or extend

  13. Return chute • - auto checkin • - holds detection

  14. Mechanical sorting • - reduced costs (compared to barcodes)

  15. Manual sortation • - audio and visual cues

  16. FASTRAC Security Gates Features • Can detect multiple items, multiple material types at the same time • Free-running anti-collision provides rapid response • Directly interrogates RFID tag for security encoding • Offers both visual & audible alarms • Can be implemented in a variety of styles

  17. Implementation • - “Plug-in” vs. Server based solution

  18. Tagging time • - 2083 items per 8 hour shift (helps to be already handling material) • - Three cents per item.

  19. Are barcodes still needed? • - interlibrary loans • - there’s still a need for itemids • - phone in renewals • - barcodes guarantee uniqueness

  20. Industry involvement • - Baker & Taylor, Inc. (Charlotte, NC) • - Academic Book Center (Portland, OR) (Blackwell's Book Services) • - BWI (Book Wholesalers Inc.) (Lexington, KY) (A Follett Corporation Company)
