🔐 The Role of the EAS System
Electronic Article Surveillance (EAS) alarm systems are designed to prevent the theft of products from stores or public buildings. They are activated when an item with an activated tag attempts to leave the premises without removal or deactivation.
📍 EAS technology is a key tool in reducing retail theft losses.
📦 Where do EAS systems apply?
- Clothing, cosmetics, and electronics stores
- Libraries and public institutions
- Pharmacies and supermarkets
- Places with restricted access or increased risk of theft
- Warehouses and logistics points
🧠 Types of EAS Systems
Depending on the type of products, the space and the desired technology, there are different types:
🔸 1. Acousto-magnetic (AM) Systems
– Very high detection
– Resistance to metallic surfaces
– Ideal for pharmacies & cosmetics
🔸 2. Radio Frequency (RF) Systems
– Economical and widely used
– Suitable for clothing, books, general trade
🔸 3. RFID & EAS Hybrid
– Tags combining EAS and RFID identification

– Ideal for large stores & warehouses
🔸 4. RFID-only systems
