Lyngsoe BISR™: Precision Handling of Bulk Library Materials
Discover a groundbreaking automated sorting system that transforms the way your library handles bulk returns. The Lyngsoe BISR™ system ensures materials returned in bulk are separated and sorted for streamlined library operations.
Automatic, Reliable Singulation of Materials Returned in Bulk
The Lyngsoe BISR™ system redefines the returns process for bulk items, providing unparalleled reliability in singulating materials returned by patrons. The system effortlessly sorts through jumbled stacks and efficiently separates the items, preparing them for seamless integration into the Lyngsoe Sort Mate™ automated material handling system.
Our innovative technology enables the BISR system to identify items that have become stuck together, minimizing the need for manual intervention and sorting into exemption bins, saving valuable resources and optimizing efficiency.
Experience the automated, dependable separation of items that the BISR system offers, whilst at the same time benefiting patrons with a swift and easy returns process. Your patrons can deposit items into the BISR system through traditional book drops, chutes or letterboxes. For libraries with Automated Material Handling (AMH) systems, the lock can be synchronized to suit your unique processes.
