Printed surfaces convert to scannable data.

URCODE is an invisible, image-embedded coding technology that turns book covers, spines, and labels into scannable data carriers without adding a separate tag.

With UR MultiScan,
a single camera capture identifies
multiple items simultaneously

How Multi-Scan collection inventory works

A URCODE pattern embedded into a book spine

Embed

URCODE patterns are embedded directly into existing cover or spine artwork.

A camera capturing an entire library shelf

Capture

A smartphone or fixed camera captures an entire shelf section in one frame.

Multiple books identified simultaneously

Identify

Every visible book is identified simultaneously rather than one at a time.

UR MultiScan changes the unit of work.

Application Physical tag per item Embedded in existing print surface
Maintenance Wear, detachment, replacement No separate physical tag to maintain
Scanning Short-range RF reading Multiple books per camera frame
Environment RF interference may occur Independent of RF signal limitations
Shelf order Limited natively Identity, position, and order together
A book being scanned individually with an RFID reader A full shelf being captured with UR MultiScan

Printed surfaces
convert to scannable data.

URCODE captures each book’s physical position from left to right and top to bottom, then compares the sequence with the catalog’s expected call-number order.

Any point where the physical sequence diverges from the expected sequence is flagged instantly.

One scan supports two core library workflows.

A librarian scanning multiple books on a shelf with a smartphone

Collection inventory

• Identify multiple books at once • Verify presence across a shelf section • Reduce repetitive item-by-item scanning

URCODE highlighting a misplaced book on a library shelf

Misshelving detection

• Capture identity and physical position • Validate expected shelf sequence • Pinpoint the exact misplaced location
