RFID iTheft Smart Exit Alarms

With retail theft now amounting to multi $ billion-dollar losses, 1960s EAS technology is no longer viewed as a valuable theft deterrent, and with tags costing as much as 2 cents each, the return on investment for EAS alarms is coming into question. In the past, the consensus was that RFID is not robust enough to trigger alarms across a busy store exit. BSN’s iTheft now meets that challenge.

By using unique chip features, linked to BSN’s Trysor® cloud-based software, the iTheft solution can trigger alarms at a similar rate to EAS. In addition to triggering the alarm, iTheft takes advantage of RFID technology and can provide reports on the identity of the items being stolen. These stolen items can then be automatically deducted from a stock inventory list, ensuring that the store’s stock in hand is accurate and that the missing items can be re-plenished.

iTheft uses a UHF RFID tag and is tested to alarm – even at a busy store exit/entrance.

Most existing EAS gates can be upgraded to work in a Hybrid mode -EAS/RFID. Or new installations can be configured as ‘Only RFID’.
