ABSTRACT:
A system for identifying and managing information stored in a plurality of physical volumes (e.g., tape cartridges) in an information storage system includes a plurality of labels. Each label is configured for physical attachment to a physical volume and includes an electromagnetic transponder for storing data associated with the physical volume and/or the information contained therein. The electromagnetic transponder is non-volatile, re-writable, and readable without requiring physical contact with the label. The system includes a robotic hand assembly for manipulating the physical volumes. Fine positioning of the robotic hand assembly with respect to the physical volume is done based on a signal returned from the electromagnetic transponder.
