Daily counts that take too long to do properly
A manual showroom count of several thousand pieces is slow enough that it gets shortcut, which defeats the point of doing it.
Industries
Jewellery & Library Management
Item-level accuracy for collections that are counted often and misplaced easily — jewellery showrooms and library circulation alike.
The problem
Items present but unfindable
A mis-shelved book or a misplaced tray is functionally lost.
Queues at the issue desk
Single-item barcode issue creates a bottleneck at exactly the busiest times of the academic day.
Unattributed loss
Without item-level records, a discrepancy is a number rather than a specific piece with a timestamp.
How we solve it
Item-level jewellery tagging
Small loop and label tags designed for jewellery, with tray-level bulk reading so a full showroom counts in minutes.
Library self-issue and return
Self-service kiosks that issue a stack of books in one pass, integrated with Koha, Alma or your existing library system.
Shelf-reading and inventory
Handheld sweeps that flag mis-shelved and missing items automatically, turning an annual ordeal into a routine task.
Security gates
Exit gates that identify the specific item, timestamp it and link to camera footage.
Two very different collections, one problem
A jewellery showroom and a university library look nothing alike, but both hold thousands of individually identifiable items that must be counted often, are easy to misplace, and are painful to count by hand.
Typical use cases
- End-of-day showroom stock count
- Tray and safe reconciliation
- Sales-floor to vault movement tracking
- Library self-issue and self-return
- Automated shelf-reading and misfile detection
- Exit gate security with item identification

Frequently asked questions
Can tags be attached to jewellery without damaging it?
Yes — jewellery RFID tags are small loop or label tags designed to attach to the price tag or a fine loop rather than to the piece itself. They are removed at point of sale like any conventional tag.
Does RFID work on metal jewellery?
It does, with tags designed for it. Precious metal detunes a standard tag, so jewellery-specific inlays are used and read geometry is tested against your actual pieces — gold behaves differently from silver, and a chain differently from a solid ring.
Will this integrate with our library management system?
Yes. We integrate with Koha, Alma and other library platforms over SIP2 or their API, so circulation records stay in the system your staff already use.
Let us look at your jewellery & library management operation.
Site surveys and first consultations cost nothing. If RFID or surveillance is not the right answer for you, we will say so.
