... Checkpoint Systems, Inc. (NYSE:CKP), the industry leader in library solutions, unveiled a range of new, ground-breaking capabilities for its RFID-driven Intelligent Library System (ILS) Patron Self-Checkout Station. Previewed for the first time at the American Library Association's 2005 Midwinter meeting at Boston's Hynes Convention Center, the additional solutions complement current self-checkout station features. They were engineered to improve efficiency for library patrons and reduce time-consuming administrative duties for staff members. DiscMate(TM) Solution: Checkpoint's new DiscMate Solution enables secure self-checkout of CDs and DVDs, which has not been possible until today. DiscMate includes Intelligent Unlocking Units for ILS self-checkout stations, a Standard Unlocking Unit for use at the circulation desk that is compatible with all library systems (including non-RFID systems), and the DiscMate case, a one-piece case for material security and display. ...

The Intelligent Library System (ILS) from Checkpoint Systems is a revolutionary technology designed to enhance the library experience for both patrons and staff. Driven by advanced RFID technology, the ILS boasts individual self-checkout, allowing patrons to check out materials on their own using self service kiosks located throughout the library. The system dramatically speeds up the library checkout and return process, protects items from unauthorized removal from the library and reduces materials handling time by as much as 75%.
