Dear Mr. Vinod,
No SIP2 is simply a protocol which need to be activated, thereafter RFID
vendor will use the SIP2 server details to configure there RFID
hardware/software with SIP2 protocol.
Tagging, charging and discharging from checkout station doesn't require SIP2
protocol but if you are using self check out and drop box system then you
need SIP2 protocol. Many of the vendors provide middleware application which
doesn't use SIP2 protocol instead of that it directly speak to the Koha
database at the backend; which is wrong practice, as the Koha upgrade is
done and if there is change in the database table, then middleware
application also need to be upgraded.

Dear Mr. Sunil,
Please explain " Koha - only need to be activated" . Do you mean that once
SIP2 is enabled and just plug the RFID device in the machine it will start
working? without any middle ware for tagging, charging, discharging tasks
etc.?
Thanking You.

Dear Sir,
Any library management software which supports SIP2/NCIP protocol can be
integrated with RFID solutions. Primarily many of the software vendors
charge extra for the SIP2 protocol whereas in Koha SIP2/NCIP protocol is
inbuilt and need to be activated. In some cases vendors do charge libraries
based on the collections, as the collection increases the cost of the
SIP2/NCIP protocols also increase.
Some company provides middleware application for the integration of RFID and
library management software, which is wrong way to do as in future if
library management software upgrade; these middleware application is not
able support the RFID and upgraded library management software.
Following are the library management software which support RFID.
Koha - only need to be activated
Virtua - charges extra for the SIP2 protocol and Middleware application
Autolib - charges extra for the SIP2 protocol
LibSys - charges extra for the SIP2 protocol
Alice for Windows
And many more...
We have done implementation of Koha on cloud as well as onsite installation
and provide support on the RFID solutions.
Feel free to contact for any clarifications on RFID and Koha.
Thanks and Regards

Dear Friends,
Please share information about RFID supporting Lib Mgt softwares with
estimate and experiences of those who use the particular system.
