Method and system for RFID label replacement of conventional labels on media in a media storage system

摘要

A cart includes a scanning device, a control device, and an RFID label printer for replacement of non-RFID labels with RFID labels without the risk of misplacing media items or mislabeling the same. The scanning device scans, information from a non-RFID label, e.g., a bar code label, attached to one of the media items and delivers scanned data to the control device. The control device then creates, with the RFID label printer, a unique encoded RFID label corresponding to the non-RFID label scanned by the scanning device. The unique encoded RFID label can include a data field having a cart identifier to which the scanning device and the RFID label printer are attached and a serial number.
