Sentry Technology Corporation (PINKSHEETS: SKVY) announced today
the signing of a $240,000 contract with Hussey-Mayfield Memorial
Library to install QuickCheck™ patron self service kiosks and
electromagnetic (EM) theft detection systems. The Hussey-Mayfield
Memorial Library is located in Zionsville, Indiana.
QuickCheck™ gives patron access to the library's EVERGREEN™ open
source circulation software via a user card and touch screen video
monitor. A barcode or RFID chip on a book, CD or DVD is read,
security functions performed and a receipt is printed to tell the
patron what items have been borrowed and when they are due to be
returned. Once the process is complete, the patron exits the
library through the security system without any intervention from
library staff. The entire process is fast, user friendly and frees
library staff from the circulation desk to perform higher level
tasks. The systems include statistical usage report software as
well as remote diagnostic control and management of QuickCheck™
over a local network and via the internet.
The Hussey-Mayfield collection will be secured using Sentry
electromagnetic security labels detected by the company's WAM (wide
aisle management) security gate systems. Using a design proposed by
Hussey-Mayfield's technical staff, the Sentry QuickCheck™ systems
will simultaneously process both EM strips and encrypted RFID
labels to secure the collection and ensure that the identity of
specific materials being borrowed remains confidential for every
patron.
"Our Library processes 85% of the circulation of our collection
through self check stations. Sentry was able to configure a system
that will seamlessly integrate all of our open source software with
our need to maintain an easy to use self service environment for
our customers," said Richard Deuschle, Director of Information
Technology and Facilities, Hussey-Mayfield Memorial Library.
"Sentry worked with us every step of the way and went out of their
way to ensure that our special needs were met and our Board and
staff thank them!"
"We are very pleased to be working the Hussey-Mayfield Memorial
Library," said Peter L. Murdoch, President and CEO of Sentry
Technology Corporation. "The library has identified the need for
our QuickCheck™ systems to both encrypt the RFID data resident on
each label as well as the way in which groups of tags in box sets
of CD and DVD tags are processed by the system. Our skilled
technical department has implemented the requested changes that
will be incorporated into QuickCheck™ to benefit both
Hussey-Mayfield and many other libraries facing similar security
and data processing challenges."
