Sensormatic Tags: What They Are and How They Work
If you are looking for a reliable and effective way to protect your merchandise from theft, you might want to consider sensormatic tags. Sensormatic tags are anti-theft devices that use electronic article surveillance (EAS) technology to deter shoplifters and reduce shrinkage. In this blog post, we will explain what sensormatic tags are, how they work, what different models are available, and why you should contact Axle Systems for the best distributor of sensormatic tags in Qatar.
Sensormatic tag are small devices that attach to the products you want to protect. They contain a metal strip or a microchip that emits a signal when activated by an electromagnetic field. The signal is detected by an antenna at the store exit, which triggers an alarm if the tag is not deactivated or removed at the point of sale (POS).
Sensormatic tag are designed to be discreet, tamper-resistant, and easy to apply and remove. They come in various shapes, sizes, and colors to suit different product categories and aesthetics. They can also be integrated with radio frequency identification (RFID) technology, which enables inventory visibility and management.
Sensormatic tags work by using one of two main EAS technologies: acousto-magnetic (AM) or radio frequency (RF). AM tags consist of a metal strip that vibrates when exposed to a low-frequency magnetic field. The vibration creates a harmonic frequency that is picked up by the antenna at the store exit. RF tags contain a microchip and a coil that form a circuit when activated by a high-frequency radio wave. The circuit resonates at a specific frequency that is detected by the antenna at the store exit.
Both AM and RF tags can be deactivated by applying a strong magnetic or electric field at the POS. This either demagnetizes the metal strip or detunes the circuit, rendering the tag inactive. Some tags can also be reactivated for reuse.
Sensormatic offers a wide range of hard tags and labels for various product categories and budgets. Some of the most popular models are:
- InFuzion: This is a one-piece tag that features an integrated pin design that reduces the application and removal time. It has a patented dual-locking mechanism that prevents in-store defeat and comes in AM, RF, or AM/RFID versions.
- SuperTag: This is a two-piece tag that has a strong visual deterrent and a high detection rate. It has a patented dual-locking mechanism that prevents in-store defeat and comes in AM, RF, or AM/RFID versions.
- UltraStrip: This is a thin and flexible label that can be applied to flat or curved surfaces. It has a high detection rate and can be deactivated quickly and consistently. It comes in AM or RF versions.
