After knowing that 70% of the anti-theft effect of the EAS System comes from deterrence, choosing the correct system design scheme according to the layout and format of the mall can achieve the best anti-theft effect and price ratio. Generally speaking, convenience stores, specialty stores, specialty stores, including clothing stores, audio-visual stores and other stores with a business area of several hundred square meters, adopt a total export inspection protection method. However, large-scale comprehensive supermarkets, shopping centers, warehouse-style shopping malls, etc., are suitable for the use of cashier channel detection and protection methods, similar to the installation methods of Carrefour stores. Both methods can control the theft prevention investment per unit of business area, including equipment investment and loss prevention personnel investment, within a certain range, and the deterrent effect of theft prevention can be significantly increased.
The physical technologies used by EAS are divided into the three most commonly used types: radio frequency technology, acousto-magnetic technology, and electromagnetic technology. But not every physical technology is perfect, they have their inherent advantages and disadvantages. The detection rate and false alarm rate of the system are the two most important indicators to measure the performance of the technology and equipment.
To improve the absolute index of the EAS detector: that is, the detection rate is high, and the false alarm rate is low. Only the EAS with the smart digital technology can meet the requirements. This technology uses the analog signal received by the EAS antenna to perform high-speed A/D conversion, and the digital signal is processed by a computer, using artificial intelligence to identify the characteristics of the electronic tag. Only EAS with this intelligent digital technology can be used in various electromagnetic environments, which can improve the detection rate of the system and reduce false alarms.
The price of EAS equipment is a very important factor. More and more self-selected shopping malls have considered EAS as a necessary facility. At the same time, they are also very concerned about the investment in EAS equipment and the return on the actual anti-theft effect.
EAS Soft Label
When we choose EAS equipment, don't forget its compatibility. There are two aspects to pay attention to here: First, if we are a commercial chain company, we must pay attention to the use of EAS devices with the same physical characteristics in each store. This will bring convenience and benefits to future label purchases, system maintenance and upgrades. Second, when shopping malls use EAS equipment, one of the most important expenses is the long-term purchase of consumable materials. We must remind all merchants to pay attention to the choice of EAS technology compatibility to avoid the market monopoly of anti-theft tags and the increased cost of anti-theft tags.
When choosing an EAS System Supplier, you must consider its comprehensive system capabilities. Because the entire EAS system, in addition to the detector, also includes a soft label decoder and various types of soft and hard labels. If the performance of the soft tag decoder is not good, the soft tag may not be killed accurately, and the customer will cause an alarm when the antenna is detected by the EAS, which will bring embarrassment and disadvantage to the customer and the merchant. The decoding speed of the EAS Soft Label decoder is also a comprehensive consideration. A good soft label decoder should have scanning frequency bandwidth, high decoding height and fast decoding speed.
The EAS industry is a small but emerging industry. Some manufacturers, especially some domestic manufacturers, often ignore their product standards and quality systems. The products they produce have neither product standards nor quality assurance. Who dares to use such products? When we choose EAS, we can no longer blindly listen to the self-introduction of suppliers. We must examine their product standards and quality systems. Including the quality system of engineering installation.
Those who have used EAS know that EAS is a project with relatively high service requirements. The equipment cannot work normally, which immediately brings about an increase in the loss of goods. Misreports of equipment can cause embarrassment to customers, and serious consequences such as customer complaints, media exposure, and legal proceedings to merchants.
