Wall-Mounted RFID Library Self-Service Borrowing & Return Terminal

Wall-Mounted RFID Library Self-Service Borrowing & Return Terminal

KER Wall-Mounted RFID Library Self-Service Terminal is a compact library automation solution designed for self-service book borrowing and return.

The terminal uses RFID technology to identify library books and enables readers to complete circulation services without relying on a traditional staffed counter.

Its wall-mounted architecture helps save valuable floor space and is especially suitable for library entrances, corridors, narrow circulation areas, school libraries and other locations where a floor-standing kiosk is not practical.

The current KER page specifically describes the product as a wall-mounted borrowing and returning machine with an aluminum alloy frame, ultra-thin metal enclosure, multi-tag RFID reading and writing, high reading accuracy and strong anti-interference capability.

Wall-Mounted Space-Saving Design

The wall-mounted structure is one of the main advantages of this model.

It can be installed on:

• Library walls
• Corridor walls
• Entrance areas
• Reception areas
• School libraries
• University libraries
• Community reading facilities

By using vertical wall space, the terminal reduces floor-space requirements and allows more flexible deployment.

RFID Book Identification

The terminal is designed for RFID-based book identification.

Possible functions include:

• Book identification
• Borrowing verification
• Return verification
• Multi-book processing
• Inventory checking
• Book status inquiry

The product page specifically states support for precise reading and writing of multiple RFID tags.

Multi-Tag RFID Reading

Multiple RFID-tagged books can be processed in a single workflow, reducing the need for individual barcode scanning.

This is useful for:

• Returning several books
• Borrowing multiple books
• Collection checks
• Inventory operations

The ability to handle multiple tags is one of the most important technical selling points of this product.

Self-Service Book Borrowing

A typical borrowing workflow can be:

Reader Authentication → Place Books in Reading Area → RFID Identification → Check Availability → Confirm Borrowing → Update Library System

The system can display:

• Book title
• Book ID
• Borrowing status
• Due date
• Transaction result

Self-Service Book Return

The terminal can also support independent book returns.

Typical workflow:

Select Return → Place Books on Reading Area → RFID Identification → Verify Status → Update Library System → Confirmation

This allows the terminal to operate as a convenient self-service return station without requiring a dedicated circulation clerk.

High-Accuracy RFID Identification

The RFID system is designed for accurate tag reading and writing.

This can help improve:

• Borrowing accuracy
• Return accuracy
• Inventory consistency
• Transaction traceability

The existing product description specifically highlights precise RFID tag reading/writing and strong anti-interference performance.

Anti-Interference RFID Performance

In library environments, multiple books and electronic devices may be located close to the reading area.

The product is designed with strong anti-interference characteristics to help maintain reliable RFID identification in practical library environments.

Library Management System Integration

The terminal can connect with the library’s existing management platform.

Potential integrations include:

• Library Management System
• Integrated Library System
• RFID Library System
• Membership Database
• Campus Library System

Possible data exchange includes:

• Member information
• Book information
• Borrowing records
• Return records
• Due dates
• Inventory status

Reader Authentication

Depending on the software and hardware configuration, readers can be identified using:

• RFID library cards
• NFC cards
• QR codes
• Barcodes
• Membership IDs

The authentication method can be customized according to the library’s existing system.

Library Account Inquiry

The terminal can optionally provide:

• Current borrowed books
• Due dates
• Overdue status
• Reservation information
• Account status

This allows the device to serve as both a circulation terminal and a basic library information point.

Book Information Inquiry

After RFID identification, the system can display information such as:

• Book title
• Author
• ISBN
• Book ID
• Availability
• Borrowing status
• Reservation status

Optional Book Renewal

If supported by the library software, readers can renew eligible books directly through the terminal.

Possible workflow:

Login → View Borrowed Books → Select Book → Check Eligibility → Confirm Renewal → Update Due Date

Reservation and Pickup

With compatible library software, the terminal can support:

• Reserved-book verification
• Member authentication
• Pickup confirmation
• Borrowing activation

This can be useful for libraries that support online reservation.

Durable Commercial Construction

The current product page highlights:

• Aluminum alloy frame
• Ultra-thin metal casing
• Rust resistance
• Corrosion resistance
• Strong and durable construction

These characteristics are appropriate for public environments where the terminal may be used frequently by different users.

Optional Receipt Printing

A thermal printer can be added for:

• Borrowing receipts
• Return confirmations
• Due-date slips
• Reservation pickup confirmations

Optional QR and Barcode Integration

In addition to RFID, optional QR or barcode scanning can support:

• User authentication
• Reservation verification
• Mobile services
• Member login
• Book identification

Remote Management
