In 2002, FLASHSCANŽ Self-Checkout was born: a unique,
wireless, open system operated by the library patron.
LAT chose an open system strategy in order to operate
with the current security and circulation database
components of any library. The following year, LAT
expanded their open system architecture with an
upgrade option to RFID technology.
In late 2004, with FLASHSCAN patron automated checkout systems installed in public and university libraries across the country, LAT announced the INTELLIGENT MEDIA MANAGER®: an innovative open system security vault operated by the library patron to process checkouts, returns, and holds for CD and DVD media.
Libraries faced with increased patron usage, larger
collections, and no increase in personnel, see the
LAT open system products as their ideal solution.
The on-going R&D activities at LAT on new automated
circulation services are rapidly identifying LAT
as the library's best friend.
Library Automation Technology is headquartered
in Somerdale, New Jersey, which is located twenty
minutes east of Philadelphia.
