RF (Radio Frequency) Soft Labels are integral to retail security, utilizing advanced technology to deter theft. The EAS RF label adheres to merchandise and function through the following process:

Application:

RF soft tag is discreetly applied to items, often on flat surfaces, ensuring inconspicuous yet effective security.

Radio Frequency Technology:

Infused with an RF antenna and a resonator, the EAS RF label harnesses radio frequency technology, responding to a specific frequency range.

Deactivation at Checkout:

During purchase, the magnetic RF EAS soft label is deactivated using a specific device at the checkout counter. This prevents triggering alarms upon exiting the store.

Alarm Trigger Mechanism:

If not properly deactivated, the RF Soft Label activates an alarm when passing through the store's RF detection system at the exit.

Enhanced Security:

RF Soft Labels significantly enhance security measures, acting as a visible deterrent and playing a pivotal role in comprehensive loss prevention strategies within retail environments.

Versatile and Effective:

With versatility in application and proven effectiveness, RF Soft Labels contribute to safeguarding merchandise, minimizing theft risks, and optimizing the overall security posture of retail establishments.

EAS RF (Electronic Article Surveillance Radio Frequency) tag and RFID (Radio-Frequency Identification) tag are both technologies used for tracking and security, but they have key differences:

• Purpose:

EAS RF Tag: Primarily used for security in retail environments, EAS RF tags are designed to prevent theft by triggering alarms if not properly deactivated at the point of sale.

RFID Tag: RFID tags are more versatile, serving a broader range of applications beyond security, such as inventory management, supply chain tracking, and contactless payments.

• Technology:

EAS RF Tag: RF soft tag operates on a specific frequency for security purposes, usually around 8.2 MHz.

RFID Tag: Utilizes radio-frequency identification technology, which includes a broader range of frequencies and can operate at low (LF), high (HF), or ultra-high (UHF) frequencies.

• Data Capability:

EAS RF Tag: AM RF security tags are primarily designed for security activation/deactivation; limited in terms of data storage and retrieval.

RFID Tag: Capable of storing and transmitting data, enabling more extensive information retrieval and tracking capabilities.

• Read Range:

EAS RF Tag: The RF soft label typically has a shorter read range, suitable for detecting tags within proximity to a detection system at a store exit.

RFID Tag: Can have variable read ranges, depending on the frequency and type, ranging from a few centimeters to several meters.

• Application:

EAS RF Tag: The EAS RF label is mainly applied in retail settings for anti-shoplifting purposes.

RFID Tag: Widely used in logistics, manufacturing, healthcare, and other industries for tracking and identification purposes.

In summary, while both technologies involve radio frequency, EAS RF tag is specialized for retail security, triggering alarms if not deactivated, whereas RFID tags have broader applications, offering data storage and retrieval functionalities beyond security.
