Nowadays, most commercial units feature some sort of article protection solution, such as an electronic, video or even mechanical instruments. EAS (Electronic Article Surveillance) is one of the safest solutions. The essence of the technology is that the goods to be protected are provided with a special signal emitting source (electronic or magnetic), and these signals are sensed by the receivers placed at the exit, the so-called “gates”.
If the buyer intends to leave without payment, which means that the signal emitting device has not been deactivated by the cashier, the “gates” will indicate it with an alarm.
Pentolt Ltd. is the exclusive representative of the Dutch company NEDAP amongst other manufacturers of various technologies. The company installs and distributes the radio frequency-based products (RFID) of NEDAP. Signal transmitters to be placed on goods can fall into two groups: paper labels stuck on the product (RF label), and plastic tags. Paper labels, which are basically embedded spiral aerials in the paper, can be disabled at the cashier using a deactivation device. This process is nothing more than eliminating the signal transmitting feature of the label. Disabling plastic tags is a mechanical process, and the cashier uses a powerful magnet to simply remove the tag from the product (typically clothing items and shoes). Paper labels and plastic tags accommodate the size and colour of the goods.
Special devices, called ….. are used for the protection of expensive drinks. A separate deactivator with a special feature is provided for these products allowing the cashier to remove the protection with a single-handed move. Decorative cosmetics are protected with ….
NEDAP products include receivers in a wide range of power and shapes to fit for the devices of the relevant shop. They can even be used as advertising media, but transparent aerials are also available in our product range.
