Library RFID Staff Station

Staff Station for Library

What is Library RFID Staff Station ?

The Library RFID Staff Station provided by 2cqr is a valuable tool for librarians to enhance the circulation process of library materials. This staff-assisted workstation setup comprises a reader, an antenna, and software that efficiently collects and transfers data to the Library Management System (LMS). By simply placing a stack of RFID-tagged objects over the antenna, the RFID Staff Station quickly detects the data, processes it through the reader, and feeds it to the designated library management system. The station also includes modules for tagging, sorting, and arming/disarming, allowing librarians to perform multiple tasks seamlessly within a single transaction. These tasks encompass issue/return/renewal of materials and activation/deactivation of Electronic Article Surveillance (EAS) to trigger or bypass the alarm at the EAS gate.
