RFID-based EAS without the complex software integration.

Retailers can benefit significantly from RFID technology even though complex software integration can be a barrier to its adoption. This edition of #thelineofdefence intends to explain software's role in RFID-based Electronic Article Surveillance, especially for theft prevention.

Stand Alone Security: Unlike the holistic inventory management systems, standalone RFID-based EAS systems work on their own meaning no need of integrating it with existing POS or inventory software.

The only focus is activations that prevent possible cases of theft through the doors thus giving an elementary and efficient security layer. RFID tags and labels are encoded with an indentical EPC series alllowing the system to read for just these RFID tags.

Advantages to retailers who want simple (yet, future proof) security:

• Rapid rollout: Reduce disruption with a system designed for quick set up and configuration.
• Less training needed: Less staff training is required due to its simplicity in design.
• Investment for the future: When dealing with preventing shoplifting you will be using RFID tags or labels as a starting point for future enhancements in inventory control. Utilize software later to gain more functionality.

Key takeaways for retailers and security integrators:

• Immediate benefit: Retailers can obtain immediate security benefits without making extensive changes to their IT systems.
• Market differentiation: Offer retailers a unique solution that addresses their immediate theft prevention needs while positioning yourself as a forward-thinking security integrator prepared for future technologies like comprehensive RFID inventory management.
• Future-Proof client value: Scalability helps the system adapt as a retailer’s needs grow, an option that is future proof.
