Electronic article surveillance (EAS) systems have been the retail industry's main defense against shoplifters for decades, protecting shop inventories against criminals.
However, as EAS systems developed over time, so has the technology used by criminals to circumvent those systems.
The use of "booster bags" led to widespread deployment of metal detectors as a countermeasure, the availability of cheap tag detacher magnets led to the use of magnet detectors at shop entrances and changing rooms, and finally, the appearance of increasingly sophisticated signal jammers in the last 30 years led to the development and widespread integration of jammer detection features into EAS systems.
Research and development departments of the world's leading EAS producers are in an endless arms race against increasingly well-equipped and organized criminal groups. As new countermeasures are developed, so are the weapons in professional shoplifters' arsenals.
While metal detectors and magnet detectors have proven themselves to be very effective, leading to a dramatic decrease of the use of "booster bags" and tag detacher magnets in shoplifting, the development of jammer detection technology has been slow, making signal jammers EAS systems' most potent threat.
Using the knowledge gained from extensive research of both EAS systems and signal jammers, and vast experience in the EAS industry, our experts have created our device to help alleviate the issue.
Our device is a unique tool retailers can use to discover vunerabilities in their EAS systems (AM, EM, RF, RFID), so that those vunerabilities can be properly addressed and retail crime prevented.
It complies with all EAS technical standards and can be used worldwide.
Our newest devices are complex units with integrated Li-ion batteries and can be charged using any commercial cellphone charger.
