Apex RFID™ brings together the power of radio frequency transmission and information storage. Already renowned for its intuitive and straightforward user interface, the Apex RFID products incorporate the industry’s most advanced RFID technology. This groundbreaking technology is changing the face of the library industry by improving the efficiency of library operations and greatly enhancing the patron experience.

“When we opened our brand new building, we knew we’d be hit with skyrocketing circulation and we promised the town we wouldn't increase the size of our staff. The only solution was technology. ITG has been our partner in this venture and the Apex RFID XpressCheck Station has more than taken up the slack. Our patrons have easily adapted to it and love to check out their own materials.”

Apex RFID Features

• Straightforward self-service and an intuitive patron and staff-friendly design. A simple and consistent interface ensures smooth checkout and check-in of all circulating materials, including videos, audiocassettes, CDs and DVDs. And shorter and faster moving checkout lines enhance the patron experience.



• Security management. State of the art security pedestals, increasing detection of improperly checked out or non-circulation items, and significantly reducing false alarms. ITG’s security solution provides maximum loss prevention.



• Straightforward, yet powerful, software. Library staff can customize screen, audio, and receipt messages. Interface with patrons in two, three, even four languages. Plus seamless integration with almost any ILS ensures patron information is accurate and up-to-date.



• Advanced inventory management. Take inventory in days instead of months, hours instead of weeks. The unique, groundbreaking PowerReader™ enables fast, accurate inventory management and improved shelf organization. Wave this ergonomically designed wand across the base of shelves and the reader collects inventory data, searches for an item or group of items, and instantaneously identifies mis-shelved materials.



• Improved staff work environment. Our technology solutions enhance staff productivity by making better use of your resources, freeing your staff to focus on the needs of your patrons. And you’ll improve the work environment by controlling rising labor costs and preventing repetitive-motion stress injuries.



• Forward-thinking materials management. Automated return systems update the library’s database in real time as materials are deposited in the return drop. Returns system may also be combined with an Apex Vista™ sorting system to separate reserved materials and assign other items to bins based on their appropriate shelving locations.
