RFID stations

Smart security

Meescan self-checkout is compatible with RFID security tags. Our RFID station is part of the Meescan cloud, which is integrated with your ILS. That means the RFID station is smart enough to know when an item is approved for desensitization or not.

Station operation

Patrons begin their checkout using the Meescan app on their device or on a kiosk. To finish, they’ll place their items on the RFID station to desensitize them. The station provides immediate feedback with an automated noise and LED indicator. Since the station is part of the Meescan cloud and integrated with your ILS, the station is smart enough to know whether an item is approved for desensitization or not.

RFID tag reading

Meescan station are compatible with virtually any RFID tag format. The station can process up to 32 items simultaneously, so it can easily desensitize a stack of items. When applicable, the station also verifies item collections in your ILS to ensure only complete sets are checked out.

Installation

Meescan stations are delivered as “plug and play,” ready for you to set up with no need for on-site technicians. The station is plugged into a power outlet and connected to the library’s ethernet or WiFi network. Because of the convenient cloud connection, stations do not require a direct connection to your ILS, kiosks, or patrons’ mobile devices.

Support

Meescan customers enjoy access to 24/7 technical support through our online support portal. Everyone on our technical team works with the equipment and has the knowledge to answer any of your questions.

Placement

Meescan stations have a small footprint and require very little desk or counter space. Since the stations can be connected to WiFi, you can place them anywhere in your library - like right beside your Meescan kiosks or close to the building exit to remind patrons to deactivate their items as they leave. You also have the option to mount the RFID station right onto a wall. There is no limit on the number of stations you can use in your library.

Warranty

Warranty for your RFID station is included with your annual Meescan licence, which means there are no extra maintenance fees. We troubleshoot issues remotely so you never have to worry about on-site visits from a technician. If we can’t solve a station issue remotely, we’ll simply send you a new station and have you send the defective station back to us.
