Security: An Issue to be Alarmed About
Are you tired of your valuable library items disappearing? Theft is a costly problem for most libraries. And isn't it hard to have to tell a patron, who's eager to borrow a new item, that the item is unavailable?
Tech Logic Security Gates
Tech Logic uses RFID readers, antennas, and security gates manufactured by FEIG ELECTRONIC, a worldwide organization that specializes in security systems.
Tech Logic uses the Application Family Identifier (AFI) bit for security. The AFI exists on every ISO chip and may be used at the discretion of the user. Tech Logic hardware, software, security gates, and tags all use the AFI bit as the security bit. This makes security truly non-proprietary and uniform between ISO 15693 and ISO 18000 standards - key to allowing interoperability between library systems.
How It Works
An item's security is disabled ONLY during checkout. The tag's security must be turned off before a patron can take the item from the library without setting off an alarm. With this type of security, we retrofit each of your exit doors with a set of security pedestals. The pedestals look for security that is still on. In this scenario, the security gate will sound an alarm informing the library staff that an item is being stolen.
A typical set of pedestal security gates can read up to 50 books per second, so the gates don't delay your patrons - and you don't lose precious library items.
