RISHON LEZION, Israel, Jan. 09, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- B.O.S. Better Online Solutions Ltd. ("BOS" or the "Company") (NASDAQ: BOSC ), a leading Israeli provider of RFID and Mobile solutions and a global provider of Supply Chain solutions to enterprises, announced today that its RFID and Mobile Division won a bid for the integration and installation of an RFID system in one of the biggest public libraries in Israel. The order amounts to approximately $250,000 and the system will be installed in 2017.
Eran Harel, CTO of BOS’ Inventory Counting Activity, stated: "The system is comprised of automatic self-service stations, staff stations, security gates, and RFID tags that are affixed to the books. The system was developed by Bibliotheca. BOS will be responsible for the integration and installation of the system and the conversion of the existing barcode tags into RFID tags.”
Yuval Viner, BOS' CEO, added: "I am pleased that one of the biggest public libraries in Israel, which holds more than 550,000 books, chose the BOS' solution. With the RFID based system, the library staff can easily process multiple items of varying size, weight and thickness without the need to locate the barcode. This accelerates processing, and frees up time for the library staff to better assist the public in finding information and conducting educational programs. Following the completion of installation we anticipate that additional libraries will adopt the RFID based solution, as a standard," Yuval Viner concluded.
