WE CREATE YOUR PERFECTLY AUTOMATED RETURN AND SORTING SYSTEM FOR YOUR LIBRARY.
Automated library materials handling
Manually sorting of returned library materials is a time-consuming and costly job for libraries. The return and sorting systems is a perfect solution to automate this process. Libraries can create the perfect return and sorting system according to their wishes, because each library is unique in its space and needs.
The modular systems, from simple single-bin to complex multi-bin sorting lines with floor lifts, guarantee efficient processes so that library staff can focus on their core tasks.
By using noiseless electric motors instead of pneumatic systems on air, not only the noise levels in the working environment remain pleasant, but the significantly less wear leads to less maintenance sensitivity. Another unique and functional design point is that the machines also use dense, full conveyor belts and plastic sliders that prevent very thin materials, such as comic books, from getting stuck between bands and balls. Also keeping the machines clean has become a lot easier.
Return and sorting systems for inside and outside
The return points can be used both indoors and outdoors and are open to the public 24 hours, 7 days a week. The beautiful designed front plates and frames are made of durable stainless steel for maximum weather resistance.
SAPPHIRE 24/7 BOOKDROP
CIRCULATION SYSTEM
The Sapphire 24/7 Bookdrop is a beautiful designed product for libraries to increase efficiency, productivity and service to the public. Due to the unique technical mechanism, the choice of durable and weatherproof materials, the optimal protection against vandalism and the simple, easy to use user-interface, the unit can be placed inside or outside the library.
The Sapphire 24/7 Bookdrop allows return of items 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
In case the bookdrop will be offline in the network, service will continue and the returns will be buffered in the memory. After getting back online, the unit will automatically synchronize with the Library Management System (LMS) server and register the returns.
The Sapphire 24/7 Bookdrop software is web-based, which allows remote monitoring, diagnostics and servicing from any location. Staff can troubleshoot and get systems statistics while the system integrator can upgrade software, maintain and service the product.
The lighted icon indicators will intuitively guide the user through the return process.
Step 1: Scan the book after which the return shute will open
Step 2: Throw in the book after which the shute will automatically close
Step 3: The book will be accepted for return and automatically registered in the LMS.
Step 4: The Bookdrop will return to the default position to accept a new item.
