Consultation with Carlsbad City Library to evaluate their three branches for the purpose of upgrading their RFID and materials handling system. They had legacy tags (not compliant with current standards) and a very old sorter at one location. They were looking for help with options for upgrading their system while preserving their investment as much as possible.  

Delivered a report, Summary of Findings and Opportunities, to outline the possible approaches and made recommendations. These recommendations were followed and we are now in the process of procuring a new system.

The RFP we developed ensures that the best approach is taken going forward including specifying what is needed at each location in terms of an automated materials handling system and which tags will need to be replaced versus simply reprogrammed.
