As the 5G network, large touch screen, artificial intelligence, edge computing and other modern information technologies accelerate the iteration, people are more and more accustomed to the ubiquitous intelligent life, learning and work scenarios. Libraries must also adapt to this change, transform to smart libraries, use data and intelligent management methods, create a knowledge acquisition and exchange environment for users that combines virtual and real, dynamic interaction, and immersive experience, and maximize the value of libraries as cultural spaces.
What advanced technologies do smart libraries have? Let’s take a look together.
Facial recognition thermometer
The facial recognition thermometer can provide a one-stop solution for facial recognition, identity verification, and thermal imaging temperature measurement, guiding personnel to queue up and enter the library in an orderly manner, reducing the risk of cross infection, and reducing personnel costs in the library.
The facial recognition temperature measurement terminal device solution launched by Touchwo provides high-performance hardware for information collection and has been favored by many software vendors and integrators. It comes in two sizes: 8 inches and 10.1 inch.
large touch screen
Interactive display of various service data in the library through a large touch screen, such as the latest library activities, rankings of popular new books, as well as the recent number of visitors, book borrowing status, resource utilization, và hơn thế nữa. It can track the behavioral preferences of every reader entering the library and assist library managers in making intelligent decisions.
Self service book borrowing and returning machine
Self service book borrowing and returning machines are the main components of smart libraries, which can realize functions such as borrowing books, returning books, and processing reader cards. The self-service book borrowing and returning machine launched by TouchWo is simple and stylish, which can effectively improve the efficiency of readers’ inquiries, appointments, and book borrowing and returning, save queuing time, and improve the efficiency of book circulation.
What is more high-tech is that some libraries, such as Baiyun District Library, only need to enter the face information on the official account to realize “borrowing without feeling”, that is, borrowing and returning books upon entering the library, and borrowing without stopping.
Inventory robots
Intelligent book inventory robot, specifically designed to solve the pain point of time-consuming and laborious manual book inventory in libraries. I usually work after the library is closed and can send a report of inventory data to the library staff after the inventory is completed. Inventory robots integrate high-tech such as the Internet of Things, big data processing, and artificial intelligence to achieve accurate and reliable fully automated book inventory.
Smart bookshelf terminal
When searching for books, use the smart bookshelf terminal to search and enter the book title to retrieve the location of the book being searched for. At the same time, you can also see its storage status in other libraries throughout the city. When you arrive at the corresponding bookshelf according to the prompt information, a green light will light up in a certain shelf, indicating that the book you are looking for is in that shelf.
Intelligent Calligraphy Platform
By using the technology of replacing ink with water, a sensing system is built into the pen holder, which can accurately detect the force, angle, and speed of pen movement. Combined with a 4K high-definition large touch screen, the writing effect can be perfectly restored.
In addition, some libraries also have high-tech systems such as robot self-service book return and sorting, VR interaction, and tactile book flipping, which are full of technology and meet the cultural needs of the people, greatly improving the efficiency and service quality of the library.
