Sorting of items using the ELiMS® Sorting Station is a breeze. The librarian simply puts the book on the sorting pad and the system immediately displays on the screen, which category and compartment the book belongs to.
The system literally takes away the stress and strain associated with book sorting.

While the book is being scanned, the RFID tag is automatically 'armed' so that the book is ready to return to the shelf.

Due to the seamless link with the host computer system, the librarian can be prompted immediately if there are special instructions relating to the book being sorted, e.g. the book has been reserved by a patron.

For even higher automation, an automatic sorter with conveyor belts may be installed which will divert the items automatically to the correct collection bins/shelves.
