After a period of more than 40 years of vacancy, the Predikherenklooster has finally been given a new use.
The Mechelen Library has moved into the beautiful classical building. This immediately prompted the library to replace its self-service equipment.
Ekz benelux implemented a bespoke solution. On the outside, customers can drop off their materials in a 24-hour bookdrop. This is connected to a 5-way sorting system. In addition, there are two intelligent shelves and two selfcheck stations at the entrance.
Finally, we provided a visitor counter so that insight can be gained into how many visitors were in the building during opening hours.
"Engaging in thoughtful automation leaves room for more meaningful communication with our library members."
