Ronkonkoma, New York, November 7, 2007 --
Sentry Technology Corporation (OTC Bulletin Board: SKVY) announced today that
the Calgary Public Library placed an order for an additional eight QuickCheck™
self-service kiosks. This is the fourth
order for QuickCheck™ systems by Calgary following a public tender
process. When the installation of the
latest order is complete the library will have twenty-two self-service systems
in service.
QuickCheck™ operates in a similar
fashion to a bank ATM. Patrons gain
access to the library’s circulation software via a user card and touch screen
video monitor. A barcode or RFID chip on
the book is read, security functions performed and a receipt is printed to tell
the patron what books have been borrowed and when they are due to be
returned. Once the process is complete,
the patron exits the library through the security system without any
intervention by library staff. The
entire process is fast, user friendly and frees library staff from the
circulation desk to perform higher-level tasks. The system includes statistical usage report software as well as
remote diagnostic tools for management of the QuickCheck™ over a local network
and via the internet.
“We are pleased with the continuing
success of our self-service library program,” said Peter L. Murdoch, President
and CEO of Sentry Technology Corporation.
“We have 38 QuickCheck™ units on back order to be delivered during the
balance of 2007 valued at approximately $700,000. Both our library and video businesses remain strong with the
expectation for continued growth in 2008.”
Sentry designs, manufactures, sells and installs a complete line of Closed Circuit Television (CCTV) solutions, Electro-Magnetic (EM) and RFID based Library Management systems including QuickCheck™ patron self-service kiosks. The Company’s products are used by libraries to secure inventory and improve operating efficiency, by retailers to deter shoplifting and internal theft and by industrial and institutional customers to protect assets and people. The CCTV product line features SentryVisionâ, SmartTrack™, a proprietary, patented traveling camera system.
