The robotic system identifies and moves the cartridges between the
storage slots, tape drives, and the I/E station. The robotic arm (picker)
has picker fingers that enable it to grab tape cartridges and move them
into and out of slots and tape drives.
A barcode scanner is attached to the library's robotic hand. This barcode
scanner automatically identifies the slots and cartridges in the library, if
the cartridges are fitted with acceptable barcode labels.
Each tape cartridge must contain a unique, matching-readable barcode
that the barcode scanner reads during the inventory process. During the
inventory process, the barcode scanner reads the barcode labels on the
