Apparel Retailers Test RFID-Enhanced EAS Hard Tags

By Claire Swedberg, RFID Journal

Over the next two months, three apparel retailers will begin testing an RFID-enhanced electronic article surveillance (EAS) hard tag provided by Toronto-based EAS technology firm Retailers Advantage. The system employs EPC Gen 2 RFID inlays and readers to reduce shrinkage, by tracking when EAS hard tags are removed from products being sold in a store.
