Electronic Article Surveillance
EAS systems are designed to help retailers increase their sales and profits by reducing shoplifting and increasing open merchandising opportunities. Comprised of detection systems at the checkout or exit of a store, the systems work with small electronic tags or labels that are affixed to merchandise.
These tags or labels are either "turned-off" or removed at the point of purchase. If merchandise is removed from the store with an active label or tag still applied, an alarm will sound alerting the sales associates. Today, Sensormatic has more than 450,000 systems installed around the world.
