4. Brief History
RFID (Radio Frequency Identifier) an Auto-ID data collection system surveillance, using RF waves for Identifying, Tracking and doing Management of material flow.
Basic concept behind RFID is same as “Mirror-Sunlight-Reflection theory ”
Invented and used from (Early 1940’s)
Commercial Operation begun from 1960’s …
In 1970s developers, inventors, companies, academic institution and government sectors were actively worked on RFID
Most common application were tracked person and objects, identified goods in supply chain, reusable container, high value tools, security, controlling access to building, networks, payment systems and other assets.

5. What is RFID system An AUTO-ID based System
RFID is an acronym for radio frequency identification. Briefly the RF stand for “radio-frequency” and ID means “identifier” that allows an item, for instance a library book, to be identified, accessed, stored, reprogrammed and communicated by using radio waves
A method for controlling inventory
Automatically identify objects
Saving Time and Money
Non-Line-Sight Communication
Minimize Work Stress of Staff
Offering Self Check out/in
Gathering statistics on used Items
Improve Customer Services And
Easily Prevent Theft

6. Fig.1. A General Overview of RFID Architecture
As depicted in figure.1 the whole operation are worked under three key phases.
Firstly items-tag are scanned by reader;
Secondly in backend transmitted data coming through antenna (RF-wave) are being recognized by RFID-based system PC. It acts as a middleware communication gateway among items, reader and system database;
And at the end it filters out and store data in RFID-databases for checking the data fault and relevant operation.

A transceiver with a decoder to interpret data
helps in personalize & read data.

12. SELF CHECK-OUT/IN Dual Function(rfid & barcode)
Store information about item.
Performance statistics
Multiple items can be checked out at a time
Easier to Use.

13. INVENTORY READER Comfortable to use High storage capacity
A compact and light weight hand held device
Comfortable to use
High storage capacity
Multi Functional (such as shelving, sorting, searching, weeding and reading)
Enhanced Security.

14. BOOK DROP READER
Self Checks-in books when patrons drop them in book-drop …..

15. MIDDLE WARE
Provide reader connectivity to other systems on the network.
Translate data and transmit to its other application

16. SECURITY GATE
Verify that all books leaving the library have been checked out.
Detect Theft and
Prevent unauthorized removal of material

17. Standard RFID STANDARD USED FOR LIBRARY: Standard : ISO-15693
Frequency: MHZ
Dimension : 400mm X 200mm X 120mm
Housing : Metal
Data Interface: RS 232
Protocol : SIP and/or API (presently using STX/ETX communication protocol)
Indicator : Tag Data LED and Power LED
Voltage : 230 Volt
Certification : CE and Radio Approval

18. Frequency: 13.56 MHZ Key feature of 13.56Mhz is
Tags are less expensive due to their limited coil required.
Read range about 1-2feet.
Some tags are anti collision
collects, uses, stores and broadcast data
Controlled all conveyor setting

19. Key Agenda & Concern for Library
Material security
Financial Liabilities
Personal Comfort and Safety
Privacy and
Problem patrons
CONCERN
To Increase productivity
Improve customer services
Maintain current staff level

20. AGENDA Material Security: Personal Safety: Staff stress
Use of Hardware and Software

Data Integrity
Frequency
AGENDA
Personal Safety:
Staff stress
Theft detection
Privacy
PRIVACY & SECURITY:
Tracking Individuals
Inappropriate use of personal data
Theft of Information
Ownership and Legal issue
Inadequate Encryption
Database hacked
Problem Patrons:
Block the RF-Wave
Items with Odd shape & metal component
Doc.like pamphlet, sheet music, magazine etc.
Staff & Patron interaction
Financial Liabilities:
One Time Implementation costs
System maintenance & Licensing
Security system costs
Tags cost

21. CONCERN Increase productivity More accurate shelving
Time saving, speedy
Provide security and material controls
More opportunity for enhanced services
Durability, longevity and Insurance
CONCERN
Improve customer services
Materials more readily available
Less time wasted in line to check out/ check in
Fewer items remain charged to accounts
Improved privacy since staff never sees what’s being checked out
Maintain current staff level
Repetitive Stress
Reduce handling of item with RFID

23. Why RFID Barcode Vs RFID Inventory Management Economic Facts
Customer Satisfaction

24. Barcode Vs RFID

25. Inventory Management Read/Write
- Ability to add information directly to tags enables each unique asset to carry its own unique history
Non-contact Reads
- Ability to read tags at a distance, under a variety of environmental conditions, without physical manipulation of the asset
Fast Read
- Ability to simultaneously read large numbers ( tags/sec) of items
Automation
- Requires less human intervention
Authenticity
- Each RFID chip is unique and can not be replicated

26. Economic Facts Increase Security Cost Avoidance High Reliability
Security of material is automatic without staff intervention.
Automatic items check out/ check in and sorting can be accomplished with LMS circulation software, therefore eliminating extra processing time of staff and make it economically viable.
Cost Avoidance
Currently Missing Items statistics
Replacement cost
Selection, classification, processing, cost of searching, notification etc. is improved one
Existing Material Management system
Staff cost (manual way to do house keeping job)
Eliminates the time consuming process of barcode scanning and reading.
High speed Inventorying
High Reliability
The RFID readers are highly reliable, almost 100% detection rate.
Multiple items can be checked out/ checked in at a time.
Make library staff free from the risk of repetitive stress injuries.
Longevity
RFID tags last longer than barcodes
COST FACTORS
Implementation cost
Cost of RFID tags
Reader
Hand held device
software interface
Others

30. Conclusion
RFID technology is taking off in libraries at an increasingly rapid pace. Though there are few libraries employing this technology today, but due to its customizable feature and continuing improvement the library communities are beginning to get involved in its development. It is easy to envision that, the RFID tags contents will increase in power, prices are expected to decline and tag will dramatically improve its efficiency, security and accuracy. Also major concerns need to be addressed for successfully implementing this technology. So that it will change our personal and work lives in library and adorns the conventional library management with a new idea and usher for a bright future.
RFID IS A SUPPORTING TECHNOLOGY--- NOT A COMPETING !!
