Optimizing Book Stocktaking Process: Integration of Mobile Robot QRCode Commands with SLiMS
Abstract
This study presents a novel approach to enhance efficiency and precision in library management through the utilization of QR code technology. Integration of a mobile robot equipped with a QR code reader into the stocktake process, interfaced with the SliMS framework via an accessible API, lays the groundwork for an automated book inventory management system. This groundbreaking system enables the generation of dynamic QR code commands, facilitating seamless adjustments to bookshelf layouts. The autonomous and accurate movement of the mobile robot significantly reduces the time required for recording, allowing library staff to allocate more time to value-added tasks. The implementation of this method entailed configuring the mobile robot to navigate library aisles, scan QR codes on book spines, and transmit inventory data to the SliMS system in real time. Research findings indicate a notable decrease in inventory processing time, accompanied by an improvement in accuracy resulting from the eradication of manual data entry errors. Specifically, the calculated efficiency gain of approximately 66.81% highlights the substantial benefits of integrating the mobile robot scan QR code process compared to manual methods. In conclusion, the deployment of this automated book inventory management system, driven by QR code technology, marks a positive shift in library management practices, enhancing the efficiency of the book inventory process and overall operational effectiveness.
