Report: Analysis of Cost Savings with Automated Check-in

From the Galecia blog archive, 2003–2024. Posts are kept as they were published, so some details and links are out of date.

Attached is the result of a study I did for King County Library System comparing materials handling operations at two very similar libraries: one with automated self check-in and library sorter, and the other using manual materials handling. The report (PDF) demonstrates significant savings at the library with automated check-in. It's short and sweet. Give it a read!
