Telepen won three major tenders for self-service at the University of Liverpool, the University of Sheffield and the Senate House Library at the University of London over the last year and a half.

We are delighted to announce that we have also this summer been appointed to the APUC framework for Library Security and Self-Service Equipment and Maintenance.

APUC, Advanced Procurement for Universities and Colleges, released the Tender in May and selected just three companies to be part of the framework. Having only been supplying self-service equipment for around 18 months we were delighted to be selected and look forward to being part of the APUC framework.

We feel we have great products and solutions which will positively impact on both the student and library team’s user experience and would be delighted to discuss these further.

Please get in touch with any queries or questions you might have.

Milton Keynes College completed a review of security across its campus and set up a working group to review options. The review considered historical evidence of incidents and the current measures of access control security and resulted in the decision to install barrier systems at the entry points to the three main campus buildings where the main high traffic points are found.

The College put out a Tender and Telepen were delighted to have won. Telepen installed new IDL Fastlane Glassgate 150’s at the entrance to the Bletchley main building, the Chaffron Way main building and the ITC building.

Fastlane Glassgates are the very latest in high tech entrance control systems ensuring only one person gains access for each authorised card presented. Multi-beam infrared matrices detect user passage through the lanes and activate the glass panels accordingly. Operative at speed, they are easy to use, astatically pleasing and can process up to 60 people per minute.

Arriva contacted Telepen as they needed a solution for recording students, from the University of Nottingham, using their bus routes around the City. They wanted students to be able to present their existing student cards on an Arriva bus and then be able to feed this information back to the university.

At Telepen we pride ourselves on being able to offer bespoke solutions to our customers and were delighted to broaden our client base to include Arriva. Our Sales Account Manager, Kevin Sontag, met with the tech team from Arriva on a number of occasions and developed a bespoke solution repurposing existing hardware and utilising our in house software development team to create new software.

This summer, in time for the start of the new term, 10 Telepen RB2 boxes were installed onto Arriva buses in Nottingham.

This summer Telepen completed the installation of new Self Service equipment at the Senate House library after winning their tender.

As a long term customer of our access control gates and Sentry software we were delighted to have won the tender and have supplied them with self-service stations and librarian assisting equipment.

The Telepen installation included 3 self-service stations, a pair of book security gates, a number of mobile scanning wands and circulation assistants.

We are pleased to announce the successful installation of a Lyngsoe book sorting system at the University of Sheffield’s Information Commons building.

The Information Commons is a joint venture between Corporate Information and Computing Services (CiCS) and the University Library. Delivering high quality IT-enabled study spaces and 24 hour access to student materials, the Information Commons provides a platform for developing innovative learning and teaching techniques.

The Information Commons’ old sorting system had come to the end of its life and after a competitive Tender, the University chose Telepen to supply a seven way Lyngsoe book sorting system to include Lyngsoe Sort Mate ^TM Module and Lyngsoe Library Mate ^TM 1200 Self Sorter.
