Arriving at the place of destination, the only thing left to do is putting the
items on their shelfes. Here is where the sorting modules come into
action, every sorting module has six shelves with a capacity of 90 cm of
books per shelf. The items come to the sorting module on conveyer belts
from above it, here the items are then cought by the Selector on top of the
sorting module and are turned right or left depending on which shelf
number was found inside the label. The items are then placed with the
back side up on one of the six shelves.
Now that they have their own location number, the items are ready for the transport section.
Through a combination of conveyer belts and elivators, the items can be transported to almost
every part of the library. Flexibility is the key word here. Should the items go into an enclosed
room or to a public space, almost everything is possible.
This data from the library system will be compared with a stored "sorting
recipe". From this comparison comes a certain sorting module and a shelf
number. This data is then writen inside the label.
In every basic module there is an RFID reader that reads the labels inside
the items. With this data, the necessary information is requested from the
library system. The items can be sorted on a large volume of data, as long
as they are present in the SIP protocol 2.00.
- Writer
- SISO code
- Reservation
- Sprinter
- Shelf number
- Collection
- Other department
The items enter at the basic module, this module can have different forms, depending on
the setup in the library, If the items need to be aranged properly there will
be a Turn station assimilated into the basic station. If the intake consists
of piles instead of only single items, a Dipiler wil also be implemented
into the system.
The Corlector sorting machine, the last link in the automation process, Corlector sorting
modules are the end stations of the media in a library. After the intake and buffering, the
media ends up in the Corlector. The sorting installation consists of three parts.
- Basic module ( responsible for reading, writing and localization of the object )
- Transport ( internal logistics, this may vary from one conveyer belt to a Vertival
Book Transport )
- Sorting Modules ( endpoint of the media, ready for lending and cleanup )
Setup
Because of the variation of the transportation system there are many
setups possible, 1 sorting module per floor, or perhaps sorting modules
in a line behind each other. is there a need for more than 1 module on a
floor, then we can put multiple modules and so create more sorting spaces.
To learn more about these possibilities, we ask you to contact us.
