ColorMarq System Overview 

ColorMarq ID logic is applied to the book's catalog index code, yielding an ensemble of horizontal color bars, a "color bar code", on each label. The color bars are aligned on the label according to the catalog index code of each particular book, forming horizontal color bands when books are on the shelf. It's easy to recognize, when a continuous color band is interrupted, that a book is out of place. Whether a book is misplaced only a slight distance from its correct order location or has been inadvertently moved across the library, it is quickly recognized during a visual scan of the shelf, like seeing an apple in a bowl of oranges.

ColorMarq interacts with the library's classification logic via automated collection data record access, creating identifying labels that are a visual representation of catalog order when books are on the library shelves.

Stack management is simplified and more efficient in terms of monetary and human resources.
