The Brooklyn Public Library sought to boost productivity by streamlining label replacement on books. Levata simplified the process with a barcode scanner, hip-mounted printer, and custom Scan and Print firmware.
Brooklyn Public Library
The library had been looking for an efficient approach to keep their stacks up-to-date and in good order. Due to wear and tear, the barcode labels on books wear over time; making it difficult to track the books in real-time without having to reproduce stickers. The Brooklyn Public Library turned to a cart-style solution that included a desktop printer, connected to a battery placed on a wheeled computer cart. The librarians would then maneuver the loaded cart down the aisle, scan a barcode and replace the sticker via the desktop printer.
The Brooklyn Public Library soon learned that their cart solution resulted in a physically heavier load for the staff to carry and a loss of productivity from the amount of time it took to replace all barcode labels. They decided to invest in a lighter and quicker solution using the newest wireless technology.

Taking into consideration the current systems the library had in place, Levata provided an all-in-one package that would supplant the current bulky setup. The older technology simply could not be applied to newer hardware in an effective way. Levata recommended a new line of mobile printers, which incorporates mobile ruggedness and functionality, and rugged synthetic thermal transfer labels which can withstand the periodic handling of the staff or the daily abuse of the borrower. Levata combined that printer with a Bluetooth barcode scanner, which offers advanced programming features onboard that would make pre-configuration easy. Levata uploaded the scan and print firmware necessary to pair the devices in order to work together in a wireless environment.
Levata designed a solution to merge the capabilities of the barcode scanners and mobile printers to create a lightweight, simplistic, and time-efficient way of replacing barcode stickers on library books.
After customizing and pre-configuring the hardware to the library's standards, Levata deployed the solution to their location.
The new solution allows the Brooklyn Public Library staff to pick up a pre-configured printer and scanner, walk down aisles with a lighter load, and reprint damaged labels while significantly cutting down on time and hassle over previous solutions.
The Levata solution was exactly what the Brooklyn Public Library had hoped for. It was so well-received that multiple scan and print kits have already been deployed to over twenty public libraries.
