Page 2 of 36 June 16, 2022 Project B26030-000 185.683.001 Redwood City Public Library Downtown Branch “Use or disclosure of proposal data is subject to the restriction(s) on the confidentiality page of this proposal.” SYSTEM DESCRIPTION This proposal for Lyngsoe Systems’ Automated Material Handling Equipment is designed to automate the sorting of library items and eliminate manual tasks in the circulation room, providing library patrons a higher level of service. Patrons will approach the Library Mate™ and insert items. Items are received one at a time from the Library Mate™ then transported to the Lyngsoe Sort Mate™. These items are automatically inducted onto the sorter. Once inducted, the items will then be sorted and discharged directly to one of the following destinations: 1. Sort Trolley Chutes (all configurable by library staff) a. Return to shelf i. Sort by SIP2 fields (location code, item types, call number, etc.). b. Holds c. Transfer items to branches 2. Overflow destination The Sort Mate™ is configurable and easily expandable. If you would decide to add additional sort points in the future, a new Sort Mate™ module could be added and running within a few hours—easily completed during off-hours with no impact to patrons and minimal to staff. Capacity The throughput for each system is 2,500 items per hour. However, this is regulated by the capacity of the Library Mates™ and Ergo Staff™ Inductions configured on the system. For example, one Library Mate™ has an average throughput of 900 items per hour and the Ergo Staff™ has an average throughput of 1,100 items per hour thus resulting in an average throughput of 2,000 items per hour. This can be increased with the addition of induction points. Lyngsoe Systems has optimized the system controls so that items never stop on the sorter while other items are diverting. This allows for continuous flow from the Library Mates™, higher throughputs, and longer life expectancy from your sorter drive components. Chutes Included in this proposal is the pricing for one Sort Trolley per sort point plus one Sort Trolley for the exceptions bin. Unit pricing for the Sort Trolley is also included for future consideration. These trolleys are extremely durable and wheel easily over most surfaces. One auto-level trolley holds 12.4 ft³ with a capacity of 250 mixed library items (or 500 CD’s or DVD’s). They are a great addition to your work room. The Ergo Trolley™ features an auto-leveling floor, with a cushioned base; it assures gentle handling of library items. The auto-leveling feature is spring activated, so there is NO expensive and time- consuming maintenance required for batteries, chargers, lifting mechanisms, etc.
