As part of their longstanding relationship with Queen’s University Belfast, AdvaNova installed a Live Scanning Wand to aid library stock takes.
Queen’s University Belfast (QUB) is a Russell Group University founded in 1845. Known for its world-class research across life sciences and economics, it is home to four academic libraries. The university has worked with AdvaNova since the 2010s, using access control products.
As a long-term customer of AdvaNova, QUB faced a new challenge in May 2025. The team had not completed a full library stock take since before the COVID-19 pandemic. This left them liable to slow, manual processes with no accounting for lost or misplaced items.
Prior to contacting AdvaNova, QUB’s digital teams relied on time-consuming methods. These included manually uploading stock data to an SD card, requiring significant human resource. They needed a tool that could count items in real time and relay live data.
