4. RFID (Radio Frequency Identifier) an Auto-ID data collection system surveillance, using RF waves for Identifying, Tracking and doing Management of material flow. Brief History 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 A method for controlling inventory 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 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. Database Backend Gateway Reader Application Tags Scanned Database User Interface Fig.1. A General Overview of RFID Architecture RFID Architecture As depicted in figure.1 the whole operation are worked under three key phases. • Firstlyitems-tag are scanned by reader; • Secondlyin 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 endit filters out and store data in RFID-databases for checking the data fault and relevant operation.

7. TAGS • READER • SELF CHECK-OUT/IN • INVENTORY READER • BOOK DROP READER • MIDDLEWARE (PC) • SECURITY GATE • LABEL PRINTER • SORTER Key Components

8. TAGS Paper thin 2X2inch in size. Read-only or Read/writable Storage capacity of 2KB data that contain 96bits serial number. Tags come in many flavors: passive, battery assisted, active, different frequencies, various anti-collision technologies, printed/wire wounded antenna etc.

9. TAG-TYPES FOR LIBRARY ITEMS

11. READER • A device that is used to interrogate an Tag. • Basic components are • A scanning Antenna • 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 • 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: 13.56 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 AGENDA • 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 Personal Safety: • Staff stress • Theft detection • Privacy Material Security: • Use of Hardware and Software • Reader Range • Read Quality • Data Integrity • Frequency 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 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

22. PC Up-to-date Time DATA FLOW RFID-READER RFID-TAG RF COUPLING Energy PERSONALIZER (Application Device) Fig.1. Items personalized model for RFID system How does RFID works

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 (1000-1750 tags/sec) of items • Automation - Requires less human intervention • Authenticity - Each RFID chip is unique and can not be replicated

26. Economic Facts • COST FACTORS • Implementation cost • Cost of RFID tags • Reader • Hand held device • software interface • Others • On going system Cost • System maintenance • Security system cost • Work station maintenance • Technical staff Increase Security • 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

27. Customer Satisfaction • Materials control, • Security, • High speed Inventorying, • Faster Check-out/-in, • Longevity of Tags, • Reduce staff stress, • Prevent Theft, • Searching, notifying and • Gathering statistics on items become easy. ---------- It Made Sense!!

28. Implementation Start Why you want RFID? Begin with your goals. Identify Where RFID will deliver value to your Library and its Customers. Plan Implementation Ready your organization for change.

29. Benefit • Better Collection Management  Shelves rectification and Verification • Improved Productivity and Services  Wireless inventory management  Faster Checked Out/In  Prevent Theft  Quick Searching, Weeding & inventory audit • Cost Avoidance  Eliminate Manual Labor Cost.  Improve automation process  Reduce Repetitive Stress Injury

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 !! 3M-LIBRARY SYSTEM
