Sunday, June 1, 2003

In one of its biggest projects yet, ASK is providing C.labels for use in the libraries in Marseille, France. It has already shipped 1.7 million C.labels to Marseille’s 17 public libraries. Working with its partners, Cybernetix and Tyco/Sensormatic France for the Electronic Article Surveillance anti-theft system, ASK has deployed an end-to-end RFID Automated Library Management System.
