Submitted by Lori Ayre on Sat, 01/17/2026 - 7:41am

The consultation with SCCLD has included several phases starting with evaluating the current automated materials handling system and providing recommendations for improving materials handling operations.  Lori Ayre worked with the library to arrange demos of vendor systems currently available in the marketplace and guided the library through the process of selecting a new vendor. The engagement has continued through implementation of the new systems including design, specific product selection, project management of the removal of old systems and installation of the new systems.

RFID and AMH Consultation with Regina Public Library (Saskatechewan)

Submitted by Lori Ayre on Tue, 07/20/2021 - 8:44am

Regina Public Library (RPL) is in the early stages of its Central Library Renewal initiative. Begun in 2019 with a comprehensive Needs Assessment and Project Plan for Central Library Renewal, the project includes a plan to upgrade the library system to RFID and implement automated materials handling (AMH). The Library seeks a consultant to ensure staff understand the RFID and AMH market options and opportunities that are available and to provide recommendations for identifying products and/or functionality that would benefit the Library and help RPL achieve their strategic goals.

Lori Ayre will work with the library to:

  • Review and provide feedback to internally developed AMH Assessment
  • Supplement existing AMH space assessment as needed
  • Provide information about state-of-the-art products in the following categories:
    • Materials induction systems
    • Sorting systems
    • RFID gates for more than just security
    • RFID shelving solutions
    • New, innovative products based on RFID
  • Provide RFID and AMH recommendations and act as broker with regard to potential vendors and suppliers
  • Assist with procurement of RFID and possibly AMH
  • Assist with planning for RFID and AMH implementation
