EAS is an abbreviation of Electronic Article Surveillance, an economical method of regulating security within shopping malls, allowing staff to focus on improving customer services without worrying about theft. It is one of the best modern anti-shopping technology that is being adopted in the world. According to BASS LLC, a company that deals with supplying, installing, maintaining, and managing such security systems, adopting this technology has led to the booming of business within Dubai and UAE, as many investors have no worries about the security of their shops.
EAS systems adopt a technology of attaching a serialized tag on every item displayed in the shop where, before exiting the shop, the shopper has to pass by the payment counter for the item to be cleared to pass through the exit. If the shopper tries to exit the shop without clearance, then trying to exit the shop, the antennae installed at the exit door sends signals to the alarm system, which buzzes to alert the shop staff that an unpaid item is being taken out of the shop.
EAS systems are classified into Radio Frequency, Acousto-Magnetic, and Electro-Magnetic. In this article, we will focus on the Acoustic Magnetic systems.
Acoustic Magnetic (AM) Systems
The AM System is an RFID EAS system that operates from 58kHz to 132 kHz. This is one of the commonly used EAS systems for anti-theft protection. A tag or label is placed on the displayed goods, and detectors are placed on the exit to scan the tag. The AM system emits an electromagnetic field that mechanically excites a magnetic strip on the tag, making it vibrate. The vibration goes on until the detection feds away. This results in an anti-theft alarm.
