Five Benefits of EAS Anti-Theft Tags

EAS System features state-of-the-art technology—yet, the way it works is quite simple. An EAS system utilizes three primary components: an electronic antenna, a deactivator/detacher, and an electronic tag. The antenna usually is placed at store entrances and exits. This essentially creates an invisible gate, since the antenna picks up on an active tag passing by it and subsequently triggers an alarm.

Meanwhile, electronic tags (in Hard Tag or sticker form) are attached to merchandise, which can occur either in a store or during the manufacture or packaging process. Upon checkout, tags are quickly and easily deactivated by store employees, using either a deactivation pad or a detacher, which releases the hard tag pin.

The following are the advantages of EAS anti-theft tags:

1.Deters theft: Studies have shown that EAS anti-theft tags, by their very presence, deter theft. Physical deterrence alone won’t completely eliminate shoplifting; but it plays a vital role in the effort to minimize it.

2.Easy to install and operate for store employees – hard to remove or deactivate for shoplifters: EAS systems are designed for quick and intuitive installation, while attaching, removing and deactivating tags is a very straightforward process that takes store employees only seconds. Conversely, EAS anti-theft tags also are designed to make it extremely difficult for a shoplifter to remove or deactivate one.

3.Enables an open display of goods: Retail goods on open display give customers better access to those that are locked in displays or located behind counters. This helps them examine the goods and get a tactile feel for them—particularly when store personnel aren’t on hand to assist. Ultimately, open displays can help to boost sales—and with the use of EAS anti-theft systems, do so without incurring inventory shrink from shoplifting.

4.Boosts safety for staff and optimizes customer service: EAS anti-theft solutions help shift the focus of store employees from security watchdogs to providing excellent service. Confrontational incidents between employees and shoppers are reduced, which creates a better environment for employees and customers alike.
