Retail Security Systems - Electronic Article Surveillance (EAS)

Stock shrinkage – losses caused by customer theft and staff fraud – is a fact of life for all retailers. Electronic Article Surveillance (EAS) retail security systems can deter and detect theft while allowing customers to browse through openly displayed goods.

As a retailer you know the threat to your business posed by theft. At ADT, we provide a wide range of EAS and retail security solutions, based on Ultra-Max® Acousto-Magnetic technology, the preferred solution for many of the world’s largest retailers.

Electronic article surveillance (EAS) can be designed to blend with any kind of retail environment, making minimal demand on floor space – and ensuring that the impact on the shopping experience on your honest customers is minimised.

Virtually any item in your store can be protected with a Sensormatic security tag, label, or other RF solution. High value items, such as clothing, can be protected with a prominent RF tag, while even small pocketable items can be protected with an adhesive label. With source tagging – the provision of anti-theft labels to products at point of manufacture – there is no need to use expensive staff time to apply labels to high risk lines.

The benefits of EAS:

• Protects any exit width
• Reducing shrinkage
• RF Solutions to suit every retailer
• Pedestals and accessories deter theft
• High reliability reduces maintenance
• Increases profits with exceptional performance
• Low false alarms increasing employee confidence
• Works in conjunction with Ultra-Max ® AM labels and tags to protect any product
• Reduced disruption to store trading during installation

Whether you need consultation and advice on retail security systems at the design stage, or effective RF solutions to an existing security problem, we will put our expertise at your disposal.

Typical electronic article surveillance (EAS) retail security systems

A typical system consists of:

• A set of pedestals located at your exit and a security tag, RF tag, or label affixed to each item in store.
• A detacher to remove the security tag or a deactivator to disable the label at the point of sale provides a smooth and efficient checkout process.
• Any attempt to remove a secured product from the store will activate an alarm as the shoplifter passes between the pedestals.
