The great libraries of the world, such as that of the time-honoured Trinity College in Dublin or the modern National Library of China in Beijing, are distinctive places for disseminating crucial knowledge. With an ambitious design, the MidRanger aims to accelerate sharing this knowledge. The reader offers a user-friendly alternative for library staff and visitors that would otherwise spend a lot of time manually checking in and out every book. The reader is at the core of an innovative RFID (Radio-Frequency Identification) system for libraries, enabling librarians and visitors to quickly and effortlessly scan books and other media remotely. It is made of high-quality materials that make it reliable and robust to process and withstand millions of transactions. The MidRanger can be laid on top of a desk or mounted below one. Featuring a flowing stainless steel design, the scanner allows users to easily slide books over the robust reader. Its solid weight and rubber feet ensure that the product does not move when used for scanning. The combination of beautiful materials and the thin feel of the product make it a well thought-out solution that easily blends into any library environment. With an up-to-date design concept, the MidRanger RFID reader supports libraries in continuing to play their role in the information age.
