UHF RFID

IRCICA Library was one of the first libraries in the Muslim world to set up the RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) system in the UHF (ultra-high frequency) band, as a result of an R&D project it undertook in 2006. A study was made to evaluate the applicability of the said technology in library processes; then, software appropriate for the Centre’s needs was developed with the help of experts. The system enabled fast and accurate execution of processes such as counts, search and location, lending, security, stickering, correction of misplacements and various reporting.
