iDTop Easy
An RFID library solution that is easy to start, beautiful and fast
RFID — radio-frequency identification — does what barcodes or magnetic strips do, but without contact: items are identified simply by passing a reader. Libraries worldwide already rely on it.
Mounted on the ceiling, iDTop sounds and flashes when an unborrowed book passes, and the library EAS software shows the title and accession number on the staff workstation in real time.

FAQ
How does iDTop differ from floor gates?
iDTop hangs from the ceiling, leaving the entrance clear, looking better and resisting damage, and it detects whether a book is actually leaving.
What happens when an unborrowed book is detected?
The unit sounds and flashes, and the staff workstation shows the title and accession number for immediate follow-up.
Can we start with security and expand later?
Yes. Start with tags and security, then add self-service, smart shelving or inventory later — no need to replace tags or equipment.
