Sapphire Hybrid EM/RFID
Self-service

Circulation system

The Sapphire is an ergonomically designed high-tech self-service unit that fits perfectly into the logistic process. It’s modular construction gives all the flexibility to libraries who want to migrate to different identification technology today and in the future.

The Sapphire Hybrid EM/RFID self-service unit seamlessly combines barcoding- or RFID technology for the identification of patron cards with EM technology for optimal security of items by (de) activating the EM tags after successful registration of items via RFID book tags. This simple, one-move handling improves efficiency, accuracy and security in a user friendly environment.

By using LIS (LED Information Service) this unit gives detailed status information to the user about the status of the working process.

The workpad distinguishes 3 color modes:

• BLUE:                   in operation
• GREEN:                access granted, proceed
• RED:                     cannot proceed

The 22” HD touch screen together with the integrated receipt printer, RFID readers and barcode scanners for cards, EM (de) activator for EM tags and RFID reader for RFID tags, are designed in one compact stylish high-quality housing, and therefore easy to relocate in a library.

MyLib® Software with improved performance

The self-service unit comes standard with our MyLib® full circulation software including check-in, check-out and renew functions, preconfigured to connect to an LMS (Library Management Software) through SIP2 which is completely supported.
