Self service library
Saturday, December 29, 2007 1:25
When 24/7 video clubs came out I was very impressed by the robotic system that gave you the DVD of your choice and then you returned it, it recognise what it was and placed back in its place.
Now days I guessed I got used to it and it no longer impresses me.
If I was a student in Utah I would have begged them to let me stare at the huge robotic system that they made to service their library. The system, named Automated storage and Retrieval Center (ARC), manages 2,000,000 books and had a price tag in the range of a few million dollars.
