Dear Professionals, If you would like to introduce the RFID technology as of now, I am suggesting that, you can go for EM technology instead of 3M RFID technology, EM technology has good features from security point of view and other functional aspects as well whereas 3M RFID technology has many loopholes with its functionality. You can choose any Integrated Lib Mgt software based on its requirement that will not be a big problem in the current technology world.

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.

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 LIS Forum Members, This email is in reply to the RFID query being raised by Mr. DATTATRAY SANKPAL We wish to highlight here that question raised by Mr. Mishra( from NIT Rourkela) is very right and we wish to answer that and the same would also give more clarity to Mr. Sunil's (from Informatics) comment on the topic. Middleware is an item in RFID project which can really provide you with full benefit of NCIPV2.0 /SIP2 protocols. It is not important to debate whether middleware is require or not but whether middleware provided by the vendor would be able to integrate with third party hardware or not. In today's business world vendors are running to lock clients by providing them non standard solutions and hence freedom of choice is lost. Middleware is actually the platform where SIP2/NCIP are installed which in turn provides number of features as listed by Mr. Mishra. To set high standards of solution delivery focusing on client satisfaction and freedom of choice, RapidRadio have integrated RFID hardware from three OEM (RapidRadio, Tagsys & Feig) for British Council Library and show similar openness to any of our current clients where third party hardware is required to be integrated. We strongly feel clients can be retained by providing them satisfactory support and not by forcing them to stick to a current vendor & solution using non standard delivery or direct integration methods. Below is the list of software and the RFID hardware they support. (The list is based on our knowledge of RFID projects in India with various OEM companies) KOHA - Nedap, 2CQR, RapidRadio (Supports both SIP2/NCIPV2.0) Liberty & Alice - 3M, RapidRadio (Supports both SIP2/NCIPV2.0) VTLS Virtua - 3M, Feig, RapidRadio (Supports SIP2) LibSys - Tagsys (Supports Direct Integration) SLIM21 - 3M, RapidRadio (Support both SIP2/NCIPV2.0) SOUL 2.0 - RapidRadio (Support both SIP2/NCIPV2.0) Egranthalaya - Feig, RapidRadio (Support both SIP2/NCIPV2.0) Autolib - RapidRadio (Support both SIP2/NCIPV2.0) and many more........

Dear RFID experts, Please explain if i did not use middle ware but enabled NCIP/SIP2 then what minimum works i can get from the RFID devices? without using middle ware? Thanking You. On Wed, May 7, 2014 at 12:06 AM, Tushar Popat <tushar.popat@rapidradio.co.in

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.
