Autocontrol en segundos. Devolucións 24/7. Libros mal colocados atopados en minutos, non en horas.
Máis aló do código de barras
Libraries are community hubs, but librarians often feel like warehouse workers. Hours are spent manually checking books in and out, sorting returns, and searching for mis-shelved items using line-of-sight barcode scanners.
Patrons want convenience. They want to grab a book and go, or return it 24/7 without waiting in line. Traditional EM security strips protect against theft but offer no inventory intelligence.
The result is a friction-filled experience where staff are buried in administrative tasks instead of engaging with the community.
Esforzo repetitivo
A dixitalización manual de miles de libros causa lesións por esforzo repetitivo (RSI) para o persoal.
Inventario perdido
Un libro mal colocado é un libro perdido. Sen RFID, atopar un libro colocado na estantería incorrecta é unha busca de agulla nun palleiro.
Colas
As horas punta crean longas colas na mesa de circulación, o que frustra aos usuarios.
Toca, Deixa, Feito
Nextwaves brings the library into the modern age with HF/NFC and UHF RFID solutions. We insert a thin, invisible RFID tag into the spine or cover of every book.
Self-Checkout Kiosks allow patrons to stack 5-10 books at once on the pad. The system reads them all instantly, deactivates the security bit, and prints a receipt in seconds.
Smart Return Chutes (AMH) accept books 24/7. As the book slides down the chute, it is scanned, checked in, and even automatically sorted into bins for re-shelving. Staff can use handheld wands to sweep shelves, instantly finding lost books and verifying order.

Liberdade do persoal
Os bibliotecarios pasan de 'manexadores de libros' a 'especialistas en información'.
Unha nova biblioteca central quería abrir cun modelo de circulación 'sen persoal' para maximizar o orzamento para os programas comunitarios.
Unha Migración que Non Interrompe aos Usuarios
Transitioning a library's entire collection is a significant undertaking, which is why we design for co-existence. Our hybrid tags contain both the legacy barcode and a new RFID chip in the same label. so your existing ILS keeps working while staff gradually move to RFID workflows at their own pace.
For most public libraries we recommend HF (13.56 MHz). the same frequency used by payment cards and NFC phones, offering excellent precision and patron privacy. Large academic archives handling bulk inventory of tens of thousands of items benefit from UHF's speed. We assess your collection and recommend the right frequency, not a one-size approach.
Unha Biblioteca que Nunca Pecha
RFID makes the 'unstaffed hours' model viable. Registered patrons can access the building with their member card, browse and check out books independently, and return items through automated drops. at 10pm on a Tuesday, or 6am on a Sunday.
The same infrastructure unlocks inventory intelligence for staff: a handheld wand sweep of an entire aisle takes minutes and surfaces every mis-shelved item. What used to take a librarian a full shift now takes a few minutes at the start of the day.
