How Lyngsoe Software Works Together to Enhance Library Operations
At Lyngsoe Systems Library Solutions, we aim to provide seamless experiences for library staff and visitors alike. Our innovative solutions are designed to work in harmony, offering efficiency, automation, and ease of use. Here is a closer look at our key products and how they interact to enhance your library operations.
LibRid
LibRid software runs on all Lyngsoe self-check kiosks, providing a seamless experience for patrons with its intuitive, user-friendly interface. It streamlines checkouts, returns, renewals and account management, guiding customers through the processes with clear animations. LibRid also runs add-on products such as Digital Poster™ and QR Remote Control. These integrations enhance system control and open new possibilities for creative communication and improved patron engagement.
Digital Poster™
Our Digital Poster™ software transforms your library’s communication system. It allows you to display important messages, promotions, and updates on digital screens throughout the library. When integrated with other Lyngsoe software, it ensures that messaging can be dynamically updated based on real-time events, such as upcoming library programmes or changes in available resources.
Lyngsoe Tote Check-in Server™
Lyngsoe Tote Check-in Server™ automates bulk check-ins from your central sorting system or another library branch by scanning all RFID-tagged materials within totes. It seamlessly integrates with Lyngsoe Sort Mate™, ensuring efficient sorting, processing and routing of materials. It has an easy-to-use interface which provides detailed reports of the status of your sorting operation. The solution speeds up and streamlines workflows, heavily reduces manual labor, and saves time and money.
Lyngsoe Sorter Controller™
Lyngsoe Sorter Controller™ is a web-based software solution that enables you to independently adjust sorting strategies for Lyngsoe Sort Mate™, optimizing your capacity utilization. It provides insights through statistics and early warnings, ensuring optimal usage of inductions and destinations. Flexible strategy adjustments, like "waterfall" sorting, maximize efficiency during high-return periods.
Lyngsoe Central Management (LCM)™
Lyngsoe Central Management (LCM)™ is the brain behind the operational system, providing a central interface to monitor and control all your devices and software from one location. It ensures that all solutions are connected and functioning optimally. With LCM, library staff can easily troubleshoot, update settings, and manage configurations across the entire system.
Library Mate™
Library Mate™ software provides a user-friendly interface for patrons to return materials. The software features easy-to-read fonts, multiple language options, and voice guidance, ensuring a smooth and accessible transaction.
The Lyngsoe Library Mate™ 1200, 2100, and 5000 AMH models are check-in kiosks, running on Library Mate™ software, providing customers with the convenience of self-returning materials.
When a patron returns materials, the Library Mate™ software registers the checked-in items and communicates their status to the library’s ILS/LMS system in real time, keeping the library's inventory up to date.
How These Products Work Together
When integrated, these solutions create a seamless ecosystem that optimizes the efficiency of your library operations. LibRid software provides easy check in, check out, and renewals, with the ability for patrons to view their account information at the touch of a button. The Tote Check-in Server™ and Lyngsoe Sorter Controller™ ensure materials are efficiently sorted and returned to their right places.
Central to this is Lyngsoe Central Management™ (LCM), which allows staff to oversee and manage all equipment from one dashboard, while the Digital Poster™ software keeps visitors informed with dynamic, real-time messaging and promotions.
The Library Mate™ solution completes the patron experience by allowing self-service returns via a stylish kiosk. The range of Library Mate™ kiosks include internal and external solutions – the latter, Lyngsoe Library Mate™ 2100, provides patrons with the convenience and flexibility of returning items outside of library opening hours. The robust kiosk is built to withstand adverse weather conditions while maintaining a stylish, modern appearance.
Together, these tools create a powerful, integrated system that streamlines library operations, minimizes errors, and provides an enhanced experience for both staff and patrons.
