RFID-based stock-taking is a modern, efficient method used by libraries to perform rapid and accurate inventory checks of books and other materials. Using a handheld or fixed RFID reader, staff can scan multiple books simultaneously without needing direct line-of-sight or manual barcode scanning. Each book is embedded with an RFID tag containing a unique identifier. The RFID reader communicates with these tags via radio waves, allowing for bulk scanning, real-time inventory updates, and quick identification of misplaced or missing items. Key Features: Fast scanning: Read hundreds of books per minute Non-contact operation: No need to open books or scan barcodes High accuracy: Instantly detects missing, extra, or misplaced items Mobile or fixed readers: Suitable for shelf-to-shelf audits or automated inventory systems Data integration: Syncs with library management systems (LMS/ILS)

An RFID Anti-Theft System for books is a security solution designed to prevent unauthorized removal of books from a library or bookstore. It uses Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology to detect and stop theft or loss of items by monitoring tagged books at exits and alerting staff in real time. How It Works: Each book is equipped with an RFID tag containing a unique ID linked to the library database. RFID gate antennas are installed at the library’s exit points. When a person walks through the gate, the system checks whether the RFID tag on the book has been: Checked out properly via the RFID circulation desk Or is still marked as unissued/in-library If the book has not been issued: An alarm is triggered Visual/audio alerts notify staff of potential theft

While no single standardized barcode format exists, there are a few important specifications that define how they are designed and created. Barcode labels can differ in their size, capacity, linearity, material, and whether or not a checksum is required. The size of a label is often dictated by the specifications of the scanning equipment and the intended application. In some cases, a particular label orientation may be required to accommodate scanning hardware or other process equipment.
