Since we acquired the eRLS software that powers our market-leading self-service, security and stock control systems, the eRLS product range has continued to go from strength to strength. Here are some of the latest additions and updates to this best-in-class library technology suite…
*NEW* Desktop Self-Service Unit
It’s so new we haven’t even named it yet! Update: It’s now called eRLS Halo. Our new desktop self-service unit is available in white or grey as standard, includes a 21.5″ touch screen (available in portrait or landscape configuration), connects via wifi or ethernet, incorporates a 2D scanner to read QR and barcodes (including barcodes displayed on mobile devices) and is compatible with UHF and HF RFID.
Customisation Options for eRLS Edge Self-Service
Our wall-mounted eRLS Edge self-service machine has a wide variety of customisation options to help you make it feel like a natural part of your library. You can customise your eRLS Edge self-service unit with your company logo, brand colours and bespoke graphics, images or photos.
To help you promote and guide library users to the self-service kiosks and devices, we now supply funky neon ‘Self Service’ signs! The signs are 450mm x 165mm and come with a remote control to adjust the brightness and set one of five modes. Please get in touch if you’d like to discuss the customisation options available.
General eRLS Updates & Benefits
The latest iteration of our eRLS Smart slimline labels has made them even more discreet. They now measure just 124mm x 5mm, making them perfect for inserting between the pages of a library book without being noticed.
eRLS Staff Software Features
Did you know, our eRLS Staff software uses advanced screen recognition to determine which function is being performed (e.g. issuing or returning an item) and automatically adjusts the item’s security setting accordingly? No need for any additional interaction!
eRLS Security Benefits
Our eRLS Security+ can integrate directly with the library management system to ascertain the status of an item in real time.
As standard (i.e. no additional cost!), all eRLS implementations include eRLS Security, which provides immediate notification of any alarm instances via a popup display on the staff computer. It also allows staff to check any alarms they may have missed and run reports on alarms and non-alarm data. The ability to search logs for a specific item to see when it was detected by a security panel helps librarians check if overdue items have been returned when library users say they have!
The eRLS Mat security option is the ultimate in discreet and extremely effective security, with slimline security panels embedded into the floor. A huge advancement from the traditional pedestals bolted to the floor that only allow 1-1.5m aisle widths.
eRLS Scan Benefits
The eRLS Scan speeds up stocktaking and item searching. A stocktake that would usually take a month or so can be completed in 1-2 days. The powerful engine allows for far-field and near-field detection, which means items can be picked up from a longer distance and, using audible and visual cues, help you quickly pick items on a specific search list or locate an individual item on a crowded shelf!
