“With ADT’s Sensormatic iREAD RFID platform, initial deployment was easier than it otherwise might have been and ongoing operating costs are lower. When we add in all the other benefits, we expect it will help tip the balance toward a positive ROI much faster.”
There is no single migration path from EAS to RFID. Rather, we foresee different needs-based scenarios where some retailers can benefits from combined EAS-RFID functionality whereas others may require a sequential approach.
Our shared network infrastructure design, layered technology approach and low cost item-level platform can significantly reduce the cost of RFID deployments. For example, our Sensormatic item-level iREAD platform delivers the lowest cost per read point in the industry.
Depending on the existing infrastructure, a migration path would consider the following factors:
- Breadth of the RFID implementation
- Price and velocity of items to be tagged
- Cost of EAS versus RFID tags
- Frequency of out-of-stock events
- Ability of retailer’s information infrastructure to manage the increasing flow of RFID data.
Sensormatic is ready to work closely with retailers to deliver EAS and RFID solutions that meet their business objectives and return on investment requirements.
