Fastrac RFID installed for convenience at Ontario libraries

Tuesday, January 24, 2012

Vaughan Public Libraries in Ontario, Ca. are in the final stages of implementing the Fastrac RFID system.

The Fastrac RFID will provide greater convenience to patrons, time savings for the staff and additional security for the library itself. Provided by the partnership between VTLS and mk Sorting Systems, the installation will include several self-checkout kiosks, staff stations, RFID gates, tagging stations, tagging wands and tags.

Vaughan started tagging over 500,000 items last August and expects to complete the installation process early this year. [end]
