FKI Logistex to automate Danish library
April 15, 2007
ODENSE, Denmark — FKI Logistex, announced the award of a contract from the Odense Central Library in Denmark for a fully automated item-handling and sorting system. The Odense Library selected FKI Logistex for its solutions, which will allow the library to reduce waiting lines and manual-item handling by streamlining and extending its self-service and automated sortation capabilities.
One of Denmark's largest public libraries, the Odense Central Library operates nine city-based branches and one mobile unit. The cost-effective FKI Logistex solution addresses the library's efficiency goals, which include replacing its existing security gates and automating at least 90 percent of all lending and returning activities. The Odense contract covers installation of FKI Logistex Library Mate automated check-in and checkout self-service kiosks and an FKI Logistex Compact Sorter. It also includes FKI Logistex Ergo Cart ergonomic book carts and volume containers. The integrated system will handle and sort a wide range of library materials, from books to CDs, DVDs and magazines. "When compared to other solutions in the market, the FKI Logistex Compact Sorter and the company's other library technologies are very convincing," says Lene Nielsen, administration manager, Odense Central Library. "In particular, we were impressed by the high capacity and tremendous flexibility offered by the company's solutions and its excellent service agreement." FKI Logistex library equipment and systems interface with existing library communications protocols and are compatible with RFID or barcode labeling technologies.
