New Book Binding Process Is Patented

NASHVILLE, TN—Book manufacturer BindTech Inc. has developed a patented process called Smart Guard. This process allows BindTech to completely conceal an EM, RFI or RFID device in the board of a hard-cover book during the manufacturing process.

This will help automate checkouts, track inventory and control theft. Inserting the device during manufacturing eliminates the after-market cost of applying the tags by hand to the outside or end-leaves of the book.
