(openPR) - Europe’s leading RFID supplier to the library market, Bibliotheca RFID Library Systems, is celebrating an award for innovation from IBM. The accolade recognises Bibliotheca’s outstanding business achievements in the field of self-service solutions.
Bibliotheca’s aim is for smarter libraries and it successfully launched a highly innovative solution featuring state-of-the-art RFID technology and a self-check solution on the IBM AnyPlace Kiosk. The IBM AnyPlace Kiosk forms the touch screen and integrated PC component in Bibliotheca’s SelfCheck range.
Johannes Rogg, Managing Director of Bibliotheca UK, says, “More and more libraries are turning to RFID as part of their drive towards self-service, to increase security and for more efficient stock management. 24 hour, 7 day support is crucial for many of our library clients who are offering their customers a round-the-clock service.
“We’re proud to work with IBM for a key component in our SelfCheck kiosks, as their reputation for quality chimes with our own desires to achieve high environmental standards, a strict policy on human rights, high quality products, extensive service and long-lasting support.”
At the presentation in Hamburg, Germany, in July, Thomas Ehrle, Bibliotheca’s Head of Technology, received the Retail Store Solutions Innovation Award from Michael Dimde and Berthold Schneider, Head of Retail Store Solutions for Austria and Switzerland.
Bibliotheca is Europe’s number one RFID supplier to the library market, specialising in RFID solutions for libraries since 2002.
