3. Orizin Proposed Solution – RFID TECHNOLOGY  RFID is a wireless technology that is being used for tracking, security and inventory taking process of books.  With this technology every book whether stationary or moving can be networked and identified without the need of line of sight.  All communication happens through two type of sensors called reader and tag/label  Tags are tiny sensors that are pasted on books. They have a unique identification number making the book on which it is placed ‘unique’ and also some limited memory to store necessary data like book id, UID no etc.  Reader is a device that can sense tags around its field, communicate with them and transmit the tag’s data to the LAN/internet
