”Height-adjustable staff inductions are also a clear advantage for our employees. They can easily adjust the induction to a suitable height so that there is no discomfort if you have to stand there for a little longer.”
John Stausholm, Head of Library Operations.

Is leading the way
“Ergonomics is the doctrine of human labour. We wanted to improve the working conditions for our staff and create a healthier working environment. Together with Lyngsoe Systems we have developed the Ergo Box that enables library staff to remove the media from the sorting system while standing upright as much as possible. As the box floor moves up and down automatically, materials can always be handled at a back-friendly height, which reduces the risk of back pain.”
Carolin Rohrssen, Bücherhallen Hamburg.

EXTEND YOUR LIBRARY TO NEW LOCATIONS
With the Lyngsoe LibCabinet™, you can offer an independent mini library at an indoor location of your choice; the patrons can have access to your books 24/7. With a combined check-in, check-out and holds function, all you need is a network cable and power outlet. The LibCabinet allows you to maintain or even significantly extend the library’s reach.
The stylish, transparent doors are equipped with an electronic lock that can easily be opened by presenting a patron card to a card reader. The patron takes the books he or she wants and just closes the door again. After closing the door, the LibCabinet prints out a receipt, which tells the patron exactly which books he or she has taken and when they need to be returned. Returning a book is equally simple: present the card – open the door – return the book.

Lyngsoe Phoenix™ Tabletop - modern open frame construction
The super sleek desktop Lyngsoe Phoenix Tabletop™ is designed for barcode and RFID sites. It is powered by intuitive Librid3 self-service software with customizable screen elements. The software is easy to use. A typical lending process takes only a few steps and the materials are simply placed on the tabletop as advised on the screen – potentially in a stack, if RFID is implemented.

Smart RFID return shelf
The shelves that include RFID antennas are specially designed for checking in books and are meant to be placed near the library’s entrance. Every time a patron returns an item to the shelf, it sends the information directly to the library system and registers the material as returned.
Returning materials does not take more than just placing the item on the shelf. Anywhere. That’s it. No more queues, no more waiting in line. Five seconds and all contents are read.
Smart and easy holds management
Intelligent hold pick up shelves use proven RFID technology that allows easy holds management. The Intelligent holds pickup solution will eliminate the need for hold slips. This will increase privacy for patrons, streamline holds management and reduce workload for library staff.
Use of RFID smart shelves allows staff to place items freely in holds pickup shelves. Items are no longer needed to be placed on shelves in alphabetical order or based on dates when the item is available for pickup. RFID smart shelves will always know the position for each item. The position of the item will be informed to the patron to pick up the correct item without using hold slips.
Ergonomic and modern design with RFID

The large tabletop is used to create a sense of lightness and to make the device discreet in the library space, while still being a fully functional table area for patrons to use for placing their materials on either side of the RFID reading field. The table is electrically adjustable, making it ergonomic to use for children and adults alike.

WORKING FOR
SMARTER LIBRARIES
We work for smarter libraries. Not to help them survive. But to make them thrive. By automating complexity, libraries are freed to focus on becoming once again the centre of words, thoughts, ideas and culture. Join us, and help lead the way.
Security
PG45 and PG50 RFID
Your library’s collection is a valued community investment. To protect these library resources you can use the detection gates. The gates help you protect your print materials and digital media from unintended removal or theft. When someone walks between the gates with a library item that is not checked out properly an alarm will sound.
It is hard to believe we have managed to fit this much performance into something as thin as this. Our gates are especially designed to blend into your library whilst maintaining the open character of your building. With its sleek design (only 20mm width) and high performance, the fully transparent gates are an absolute must-have for every library.
Slim, transparent, available in multiple corridors
Electromagnetic technology utilizes EM-labels hidden between the pages of books and is, therefore, an ideal choice for libraries where the security of the collection is of the highest priority. The EM700 with its clear Plexiglas® transparent material creates a sense of space, invaluable for congested entrances and is a very desirable design among architects.
The alarm is indicated by sound and light, which is built into the antennae. The duration of the alarm sound and light is adjustable. Modern technology helps prevent false alarms from, for example, mobile phones and the alarm is adjustable to suit the surroundings to achieve high levels of detection. Gates can also be connected to video surveillance and other external systems.
Library staff tools
Wireless inventory and item search
Lyngsoe Library Clerk™ is one of the most powerful RFID handheld readers available for libraries. It combines excellent reading performance with a compact, convenient size while still managing to be one of the lightest devices of its kind.
The device is extremely ergonomic to use, allowing extended periods of comfortable use with one hand. The adjustable and flexible antenna further increases ergonomy by allowing items at different heights to be scanned with ease.
RFID reader and all-in-one staff software
Choose from three staff workstation options. All handle RFID tagged material and make fast work of transmitting identification between item and the library management system. Issue, return, renew and program RFID tags seamlessly with either configuration.
V2 antenna and reader
This is a fixed, discrete and cost-efficient system. The reader is positioned beneath the staff desk, reducing clutter and the shielded antenna provides accurate reading area, minimizing false readings and other interference.
V1 TABLETOP – MOVABLE, FLEXIBLE
The simple table-top reader can handle multiple items simultaneously and can be transferred to other sites easily if needed. Either solution manages circulation or tagging and the user-friendly design enables fast and safe processing in either mode.
The midranger
All the features of a shielded RFID staff workstation in a Red Dot award-winning sleek, modern and robust design.
Lyngsoe AMHS - Automated Material Handling System
standard, modular sorting system
The Lyngsoe AMHS™ (Automated Material Handling System) is a fully modular system, suitable for all kinds and sizes of libraries.
The AMHS is of modular construction, each
module being responsible for a specific function in the AMHS. Because of this, the AMHS can be customized to fit the needs of any library. The modularity makes installing the system in a library easy, even in existing facilities. The modular structure also enables the devices to be extended and reconfigured later, for example by adding sorting positions or inlets.
Space-saving and efficient sorter that fits everywhere in a library
The Lyngsoe Libretto Compact™ has been specifically designed to meet the demanding needs of a modern library and to help the library staff free their resources for other tasks than sorting returned material. In addition to being extremely efficient, it is also cost-efficient, allowing even smaller libraries to gain the benefit of an automated sorter.
The design of the sorter is stylish and amazingly small, allowing installation in just about any library, regardless of available space.
