I. Project Background

      With the rapid development of the times, the demand for learning has become stronger, and the knowledge economy phenomenon has become increasingly prominent. Bookstores and academies have become frequent destinations for consulting services. Urban academies generally cover a wide range of fields, have a large variety of books, and a huge existing quantity due to business needs. How to effectively manage the academy troubles staff and managers.

      The smart academy, using RFID intelligent book management technology, employs automatic identification and radio frequency communication technology with non-contact data collection methods to provide a convenient management solution for the new large urban academy—Duoyun Academy.

      Duoyun Academy, located on the 52nd floor of the Shanghai Tower, 239 meters above the ground, in an area of over 2,000 square meters, sells more than 16,000 types and 60,000 copies of Chinese and foreign books. The bookstore integrates reading, art exhibitions, brand cultural and creative products, social leisure, and other functions, offering a unique aerial view and a reading environment of 'looking up at the clouds and reading books below'.

II. RFID 'Intelligent Collection Management System'

      The RFID 'Intelligent Collection Management System' includes a series of automated management systems such as the librarian service system, chip conversion system, collection inventory system, and channel detection system.

1. Entry and Exit Management

      Each book is affixed with an RFID tag, and RFID inspection machines are installed at the exit alarm LED light strip of the bookstore. When someone leaves the bookstore carrying an uninspected book or other media material with an RFID tag, the RFID inspection machine will sound an alarm. If someone tries to avoid the alarm and take books away, the bookstore can still track the books and thus return them to their original location.

2. Regular Inventory

      During inventory, the bookstore administrator only needs to hold the collection inventory system and move it horizontally across the bookshelf to read book information. The inventory efficiency is high, and the operation time is greatly shortened. The work that originally required several people for several months can be completed by one person in half a day. At the same time, it is easy to find books that are not on the shelf or misplaced, greatly saving manpower and material resources, allowing employees more time to help readers or add more service items.

      The bookstore book management backend allows a wide variety of books to go through various processes in an orderly manner:

III. Advantages of RFID

RFID electronic tags have more advantages than barcodes

1.Data can be updated:

 After printing, barcodes cannot be changed. RFID electronic tags can be added, modified, and deleted unlimitedly for the data stored in the tag.2.Convenient data reading

: Barcode readers require close proximity and no obstacles, with scanning light directly on the barcode to read. RFID tags can transmit signals as long as they are within the radio wave range.3.

Large data storage capacity: One-dimensional barcodes are 50 bytes; the maximum capacity of two-dimensional barcodes can store 2 to 3000 bytes; the maximum capacity of RFID tags can reach several megabytes.4

.Reusable:

 Barcodes expire with the life of the product; RFID tags can be reused because their data can be updated.5.Fast scanning speed:

 Can read multiple data at the same time. A barcode reader can only read one barcode at a time; an RFID tag reader can identify multiple tags simultaneously.6.Good security

: RFID tag reading has password protection, and high-security measures make it difficult to counterfeit.7.

Durability

:

 General traditional paper or plastic barcodes can sometimes be damaged by rain, humid environments, or during handling, making them difficult to identify. RFID has the characteristics of being reusable hundreds of thousands or even millions of times, and its material can be placed in harsher environments, so it is more durable than barcodes, and naturally costs are also saved.

Small size

:
 Traditional magnetic barcodes are limited by size and are not easy to embed in small items. RFID is not; its miniature size can be hidden inside various items.
