RFID for Library
Automated check-in/out
Traditional library barcodes require staff to scan each item individually with line of sight. Collection inventory takes days. Finding a misplaced item requires searching shelf by shelf. RFID replaces this with batch scanning, instant location, and automated anti-theft.

RFID in Libraries
Full Collection Inventory at Speed
A staff member walks along a bookshelf with a handheld RFID reader — no need to touch or open each item. The entire shelf is inventoried in seconds. Misplaced items are flagged immediately. A collection that took days is done in a single morning shift.
Anti-Theft Gates
RFID EAS gates at library exits detect items that have not been properly checked out. Tags are deactivated at the circulation desk on check-out and reactivated on return. The gate handles it automatically — no staff intervention required.
Find Misplaced Items Instantly
Staff enter a title or ID in the handheld reader, walk through the stacks — the reader beeps louder as it gets closer to the misplaced item. Found in under a minute instead of a fruitless shelf-by-shelf search.
Self-Service Checkout & Return
An RFID-enabled self-service kiosk allows readers to check out and return multiple items simultaneously. No individual scanning, no queue, no staff involvement. Reader satisfaction improves and staff time is freed for reference service.
How Library RFID Rollout Works
Collection Tagging
Each item receives a thin, discreet RFID label, typically inserted inside the back cover. For large collections, we provide tagging equipment and a process that runs parallel to normal service without closing the library.
Gate & Desk Equipment
EAS security gates are installed at main exits. A desktop RFID reader at the circulation desk replaces the barcode scanner — all existing workflows continue, just faster.
Integration with Library Software
Our system integrates with existing library management software (LMS) via standard protocols. Circulation data, inventory results, and security alerts feed into the tools your staff already use.
RFID Capabilities Used
These RFID building blocks combine to deliver results in library.
National Assembly of Bulgaria and Tehnical University of Sofia use our RFID systems for collection management, document control, and anti-theft applications.
