May 4,2023

The RFID library intelligent management system utilizes RFID technology to integrate access control, library cards, book labels, label conversion devices, self-service return machines, self-service return machines, mobile inventory platforms, and librarian workstation system software, achieving convenient book management functions to date. It is an intelligent management system specifically designed for libraries, based on internationally leading layered design concepts, Based on the current situation of library management in China, and fully utilizing the advanced achievements of modern RFID, this paper provides optimized choices from various perspectives such as book inventory, book search, self-service book return, self-service book borrowing, and book access control. It involves various aspects of book management and is a perfect solution for enterprise level intelligent book management. The following is the application process of RFID in library management:

New book entry: First, attach RFID electronic tags to the books. Write data information into an electronic label using a label conversion device. This process involves assigning a unique ID card to each book.

Shelving and shelving: For new books with electronic labels attached, use a cart style mobile inventory system to scan the books. The system will automatically locate the bookshelf where the book should be stored on the map, and use the cart to push the books to the designated bookshelf for shelving.

By using a wheeled mobile inventory system, bookshelves can be scanned one by one, and the system will automatically pick out the wrong books and indicate the correct location.

Inventory: When taking inventory of library books, a mobile inventory system or handheld inventory system can be used to scan all bookshelves that need to be counted, and data can be entered into the database through wireless network transmission, completing the inventory, which can greatly save manpower, material resources, and financial resources.

Self borrowing and returning books: When readers borrow books, they only need to scan the borrowing card on the self borrowing and returning machine, and then place the borrowed books together in the scanning area of the borrowing and returning machine. By scanning, they can confirm the borrowed books. The system can input the borrowing information to complete the borrowing process. And use a thermal printer to print the ticket. Fully self-service for readers, convenient and fast. The book return operation is simpler, just scan the book to complete the return operation and print the return receipt.

24-hour self-service book return system: The self-service book return system can be installed through walls or placed in appropriate positions like a bank ATM, making it convenient for readers to return books at any time. Readers only need to place the book in the return slot and confirm to complete the return and print the return voucher.

Security access control: When books that have not been checked out pass through the security door, the system will automatically sound and light an alarm to prevent the books from being taken out. Secure access control supports both online and offline working modes, making the system more secure and reliable.

Mobile library: Readers scan their library cards, confirm their identity, select the books they want to borrow, and the system will automatically deliver the books to the exit and print the receipts. The book return process only requires placing the book in the return port, and the system automatically recognizes and prints the return receipt, and automatically places the book in the correct position.
