3M Releases CD8 RFID Tags

On top of its recent release of the V Series Self-Check system, 3M is marketing new RFID tags designed specifically for CD and DVD collections. Dubbed 3M CD8 RFID, when coupled with special software, the tags link the discs with the jewel cases as a set, assuring that discs and cases are the correct match when returned. According to 3M, the “sets feature improves checkin accuracy and reduces the handling of materials to save staff time.” The sets feature also prevents patrons from checking out empty cases or cases containing the wrong discs.
