Used correctly, self-service machines, kiosks, desks and returns bins can offer librarians peace of mind while extending the operating hours of the library.
Our eRLS Blade, Edge, Halo, CircDesk and Returns self-service solutions can help you provide a modern library experience to visitors while automating and streamlining processes to create a seamless journey from ‘shelf to self’.
eRLS Edge Self-Service
Automation and self-service make it quicker and easier to access resources without seeking assistance from busy library staff. Our new self-service solutions:
- Facilitate extended opening hours
- Reduce workload on staff
- Integrate with all library management systems
The RFID-enabled, wall-mounted eRLS Edge with multi-coloured backlit LEDs is a cost-effective and attractive alternative to larger kiosks. We have integrated the self-service components into a slimline design that will fix to any wall, pillar or the end panel of a shelving bay.
You can customise your eRLS Edge self-service unit with your logo, brand colours and bespoke graphics & images. Please get in touch if you’d like to discuss the customisation options.
eRLS Halo Desktop Self-Service
Introducing our eRLS Halo RFID desktop self-service machine with 21.5″ touch screen (available in portrait or landscape configuration). The unit comes in white or grey as standard, can be connected via wifi or ethernet and includes a 2D scanner to read QR and barcodes, including codes displayed on mobile devices.
Our HF & UHF self-service machines have various customisation options, as well as 450mm x 165mm remote-controlled neon signage to guide users to the kiosks.
eRLS CircDesk Self-Service Smart Desk
The eRLS CircDesk is a brand new self-service option that we’re pleased to be able to offer to our library customers.
If our Edge, Blade or OEM units do not meet your needs in terms of configuration or budget then CircDesk might be the answer you’re looking for.
eRLS CircDesk is a cost-effective option and can easily blend in with the library layout and aesthetic, giving you more flexibility as to where it can be placed. It’s a simple solution but comes with all the benefits of our other RFID-powered self-service systems, especially when used in conjunction with our Smart Returns bin.
Smart Returns Bin
Our new Smart eRLS Returns bin is an intelligent, RFID-powered book-drop returns system where items are dropped into a secure book bin and checked back in (returned) automatically.
At PSP, we provide complete self-service library management solutions with easy-to-follow software interfaces that allow users to simply and intuitively check-in and check-out items and check their account details.
Why Your Library NEEDS Self-Service Machines
There are many reasons why an integrated self-service solution could be a good choice for your library, including providing secure 24/7 365 access to your information and resources when used in conjunction with our eRLS RFID security and stock control system. With HF and UHF RFID self-service solutions available in various designs and sizes, it couldn’t be easier to modernise your library with this efficient, intuitive and stylish technology.

Smart Self-Service Kiosks for Modern Libraries
