• Readers –
A handheld
or EAS
Gates
programmed to capture radio waves signals omitted by the RFID Tags. The
devices are responsible for the security and circulation of resources as
programmed in the server, it will alarm if the resource is taken out without
proper process.
• Database: all the information related to RFID tags and corresponding
information about the resource/books/member is stored in the database
which is stored in a centralized location a PC or a Server. The software
installed in the server verifies the tag reading captured by the Reader
(Transceiver).

RFID Tags
An RFID tag is the most important link in any RFID system. It has the ability to store
information relating to the specific item to which they are attached, rewrite again
without any requirement for contact or line of sight. Data within a tag may provide
identification for an item, proof of ownership, original storage location, loan status
and history.
The chip also has a "multi-read" function, which means that several tags can
be read at once.

Shelf Management
Shelf Management Solution makes locating and identifying items on the shelves an
easy task for staff. It comprises basically of a
portable scanner and a base station.
All these functions are performed by sweeping the portable scanner across the
spines of the documents on the shelves to gather their identities. In an inventory
check situation, the identities collected are compared with the database and a
discrepancy report could be generated.

9. Saves time and resources:
10.Implementers indicate a 75% reduction in human resources required for shelf
management activities.
EAS Gates
RFID EAS Gate is the anti-theft part of the RFID Document Management System
using the same RFID tags embedded in the office items. Each lane is able to track
items of 1 meter or more and would trigger the alarm system when an un-borrowed
item passed through them. The alarm will sound and lights on the gate will flash as
patron passes through with the library material.
The EAS Anti-Theft Gate is used to detect RFID tag that is equipped with EAS
(Electronic Article Surveillance). It can detect the RFID tags within 1 meter range
without interference of magnetic items, Upon detecting of Armed RFID tags, the
alarm will sound on the gate. It has option to trigger a Camera to record patrons
who trigger the alarm to the Surveillance Station.
Theft detection is an integral feature of the chip within the tag. It is a stand-alone
technology, which operates independently of the library database.
FEATURES:

Perhaps the most difficult and disliked function in libraries is inventory control and
shelf management. This function becomes extremely simple with RFID technology
and associated software from the ILS system.
The first method for taking inventory is to run the Wand across the shelf. This
process captures the RFID data to the IPAQ unit, which can store data for more than
6 million books. This data is uploaded, through wired or wireless connections, to the
ILS system, where the software program performs the inventory management
functions.
The second method involves a pre-processing step where data is downloaded from
the ILS system to the Reader. This method is more effective when there is a need to
search for specific books or to identify miss-shelved or missing books. The unit
comes with an audible alarm to provide appropriate feedback to the user.
All in all, this technology converts the otherwise tedious task of managing inventory
to a convenient technique for helping libraries gain control over their collections.

How the RFID Security System will work for Cox & Kings, Mumbai
The process of RFID Document Flow & Security Management will start from the
following procedure:
1. Document Tagging Station
2. RFID Reader between two tables
3. Dak / Check-Out Station
4. RFID Security Gate
5. RFID Handheld Reader
Different documents are starts from single page or with some important document
like passport / invoice, etc. During the course of dealing/interaction a simple page
become a folder and as per requirements (Freedom of Information Act) many
organization or forced to store the relevant information for a period of time. Storing
of important documents results in the increase of carton in the warehouse, during
the search and fast retrieval for the information the same warehouse become a
battleground.
Here, with the help of the RFID technology not only retrieval becomes easier but
also the security of important documents.
Page 24 of 34
Proposal for Document Security & Management Solution for Cox & Kings, Mumbai
Different types of RFID Tags can be pasted or attached with the documents for
instance if the passport kind of documents are used, at the end of the same
documents is delivered back to the concern person, company cannot afford to give
away a costly tag its customer, here (client name) attachable RFID Tags can be used
so that later the same tag can be taken out before dispatching to the customer. Fix
tags can be used in different carton and folder which will remain in the office
premises or if taken out but with permission.

Rest of the process in the RFID Table will be similar to that of RFID reader between
two tables. But there has to be some authorized distance need to be maintained
between the desk so that RFID tags do not overlap each other.
