TECHNOLOGY'S EDGE

Merchandise, including bicycles, apparel, safety gear, and food, is tagged with UPM Raflatac Web and ShortDipole UHF RFID tags. Item-level RFID streamlines the checkout process, enabling customers to use the self-service kiosk to check out independently or have a clerk scan all goods for payment simultaneously. The tag data from purchased items is flagged in the system during the payment process, eliminating false alarms associated with non-intelligent EAS systems. As a consequence, employees are able to instantly identify and prevent real instances of pending theft.
