--- Comment #8 from Viktor Sarge <[email protected]> --- > We are looking to go with RFID at Washoe County. To have to check in and out > one item at a time is not going to go over well. What can we do to get this > moving? I´d say that even without the feature for RFID discussed in this thread there are two quite good options: * The new batch checkout feature. This one lets you send all the barcodes at once. It´s pushed to master and I hope that means it will show up in 3.22 that´s released in november. * Plack. It's not fully tested for staff use yet but we use it in production with quite good results (only have to restart every night and stay off the parts with known bugs - which we don't use anyway). Let med explain: The library I work tightly together with uses RFID in the existing circulation without adaptations. The RFID scanners just send the barcodes one at a time and rely on the fact that the barcode box has focus. The RFID scanner can then just pretend to be a keyboard. The problem has been page load times. Before with a load time of generally in the 1,5 - 2,5 span with some transactions taking perhaps 3,5-4 seconds we had to set the RFID scanners to wait up to 5 seconds between every barcode. Now with Plack they have been able to set the delay to 1 second. Hence: - 10 books before = 5*10 seconds = 50 seconds. - 10 books now = 1 * 10 seconds = 10 seconds. Much better. We will anyhow have a look at batch checkout which seems even better. In short a proper RFID feature would be welcome but we don't really feel any need to work towards this development now. It's not perfect but it works well enough. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
