bibliotheca Hybrid System:
RFID with Tattle Tapes

Best of both the world: Tattle Tape with RFID for best in class security and automation

Hybrid systems use both of the feature of RFID & Tattle tapes to get the best features from both the technologies. RFID is used for automation and Tattle Tape is used for security. Tattle tape/EM as we all know is the best technology for securing your library items because of its covert nature. However, when it comes to efficient handling and automation of processed RFID completely stands apart. So, the Libraries which wish to have best security and automation combination go with a Hybrid approach.

Combination of the two technologies without compromising of efficiency and accuracy is what you can achieve using Bibliotheca systems.

Lets remember the basic principle for security:

"Tattle Tape is the only covert security system for theft detection in the libraries."

So hybrid system is best for:

  • Libraries which are looking for best security and automation without compromising on efficiency and accuracy.
  • Libraries who want to manage the workflow and material movements in a better way.
  • Libraries who wish to provide best customer experience.
  • Libraries which are already using EM system are advised to go for hybrid by adding RFID to their system instead of discarding the first investment. Upgrading an existing EM solution to hybrid will be less costly and efficient as compared to replacing it by RFID only.
  • Libraries having highly valuable items and lots of circulation traffic. .
