バーコードを超えて
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.
Key Pain Points
反復性負担
数千冊の手作業スキャンが職員の反復性負担障害（RSI）を引き起こします。
在庫紛失
誤った棚に置かれた本は紛失した本と同じ。RFIDなしでは探すのは困難です。
待ち行列
ピーク時間帯はカウンターに長い行列ができ、利用者を苛立たせます。
タップ、ドロップ、完了
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.

詳細解説：ISO 28560
We adhere to the ISO 28560 standard for RFID in libraries. This ensures interoperability between different library systems.
We typically recommend HF (13.56 MHz) for public libraries due to its precision and privacy, but UHF is gaining traction for large academic archives requiring high-speed inventory. Our 'Hybrid Tags' can support both legacy barcode and new RFID systems simultaneously during transition.
新しい中央図書館がコミュニティプログラム予算を最大化するため「無人」貸出モデルでオープンしました。
未来：オープンライブラリー
RFID enables the 'Open Library' concept, allowing registered patrons to access the library during unstaffed hours using their RFID member card and the self-service infrastructure.
