SIP2
HAOHAN supports SIP2 integration for compatible library self-service and circulation environments.
Software Integration
Connect Library Hardware
With Your Existing Software
HAOHAN supports software integration for RFID and self-service library projects using SIP2, NCIP, Koha, API and Open SDK options. Keep your existing library software while adding compatible hardware and automated workflows.
Existing System
Already Have an ILS or Library Management System?
Many libraries and system integrators already have a stable software platform. In these projects, replacing the existing ILS/LMS may be unnecessary.
The key requirement is to connect new self-service and RFID hardware with the existing software environment through the appropriate protocol or development interface.
HAOHAN supports both assisted integration and customer-led development so project partners can choose the approach that matches their technical resources.
Integration Capabilities
Supported Integration Options
The appropriate integration method depends on the customer's software environment, required workflows and selected equipment.
NCIP
NCIP is supported for applicable interoperability and library system integration requirements.
Koha
HAOHAN supports integration projects with Koha-based library environments.
API
API documentation can be provided for supported third-party development and system integration.
Open SDK
Open SDK documentation can be provided for customers and software integrators developing their own connections.
Cooperation Model
Two Ways to Complete the Integration
Option A
HAOHAN-Assisted Integration
Customers that need engineering support can use paid HAOHAN technical integration services. The final scope is evaluated according to the existing software environment, selected hardware and required workflows.
Option B
Customer-Led Integration
Software providers and system integrators can use available interfaces, API documentation and Open SDK documentation to complete their own integration and development.
Koha Integration
Already Using Koha?
HAOHAN supports integration projects for libraries and system integrators using Koha. Self-service and RFID hardware can be evaluated according to the customer's existing Koha environment and required workflows.
The connection method and supported functions should be confirmed during project evaluation and testing before final deployment.

Integration Process
From Existing Software to Working Hardware
A clear integration process helps reduce technical risk before equipment is deployed in a live library environment.
01
Confirm the Existing System
Identify the current ILS/LMS, software environment, required circulation functions and existing RFID or barcode workflows.
02
Select the Integration Method
Determine whether the project should use SIP2, NCIP, Koha integration, API, Open SDK or another supported interface approach.
03
Match the Hardware
Select the appropriate self-service, RFID, staff or security equipment according to the required workflows.
04
Test the Workflow
Use applicable testing resources or test programs to verify communication and workflow compatibility before deployment.
05
Deploy & Support
Complete project deployment with the agreed technical scope, documentation and support arrangement.
