First simple look at Source Tagging
Comparing to traditional tagging and recirculation of reusable hard tags, today we are more attracted by source tagging solution in Electronic Article Surveillance (EAS), which emerged like 20 years ago. Source tagging solution is the process of embedding security label into any packaging or into the merchant itself at the source of manufacturing to protect the item from shoplifting at retail places. Source tagging now is widely used in apparel & fashion accessories, electronics, food & beverage, health & beauty for the most part, and some other categories. And it will continue to expand and increase focus in the near future for loss prevention. Now you still have no idea about how source tagging works in loss prevention? No worry, let us explain more. Source Tagging is the process of dispatching the EAS security tags or labels from tags manufacturer to the point of merchandise manufacturer, for example, garments, cosmetics, electronics, food, beverages and so on. The source tag will be embedded into the item itself during manufacturing at the sourcing place. Completed merchandise with source tag is shipped and dispatched at the stores and being placed on sales floor. Throughout all this process, retailers can reduce in-store labor costs incurred from applying security labels or hard tags inside the store and get complete reliability of the merchandise tagging. To catch up with the development, TrustTag has devoted itself to source tagging solution for retail loss prenvetion to help retailers increase sales, solve shrink issues, and optimize store labor.

How Powerful Big Data Can Be to Retailers
Starting from the 18th centuries, the way that how people use energy resources to drastically improve the efficiency has marked each industrial revolution. Coal along with the development of the steam engine, played central roles in the First Industrial Revolution. And it was oil and electricity to creat mass production in the Second Industrial Revolution. When it comes to the Third Industrial Revolution, we can think of nuclear energy, but it was also known as the Digital Revolution, in which internet just debuted in digital world and made the world connected. We are now under the influence of the Fourth Industrial Revolution, which builds on the Digital Revolution by emerging technology breakthroughs in numerous fields like robotics, artificial intelligence, quantum computing and the Internet of Things. And for most of these, they rely a lot on one thing-big data, which is also regarded as the new form of “energy resource” in the new industrial revolution. Jack Ma, founder of Alibaba Group, which has established the biggest e-commerce platform in China, used to tell a joke in his speech, “Do you know women living in which provinces in China have the biggest bra sizes and which provinces have the smallest in average? I know them all!” Beyond questions, other than this, Ma knows much more private things because Alibaba has the biggest database in China that has recorded the shopping habits of 500million users for over 10years. Despite of the joke, Alibaba actually dig this deeper according to their database and found a curious trend: Women who bought […]
A Brief Introduction to RFID
RFID, which is the abbreviation of Radio Frequency Identification, is an automatic identification technology widely used in logistics, retail, library, traffic, asset management, animal identification, etc. RFID consists of the tag, the reader and the antenna. Tag is made up of the coupling element and the chip. The most important point is that every each tag has its own unique EPC(Electronic Product Code). The RFID reader can be hand-held or fixed device. The antenna plays a role of being a transmitter who transmits the signals between the tag and the reader. So how RFID works? Actually it’s not so complicated. When the tag enter into the magnetic field, it receives the radiation signals from the reader. Based on the energy the tag obtains from the induced current, and then it sends out the chip information which has been stored inside the chip. This is about the passive tag. Another way is that the tag can sends out the signals actively, which is for the active tag. After the tag sends out the signals to the reader, the reader decodes the chip information to the central information system for the data. As we introduce at the beginning, the RFID technology has been and will be used more and more popular in logistics, retail, library, traffic, asset management, animal identification and varieties of other fields. What’s the advantages make RFID so popular and practical in a great number of fields? Usually, people compare RFID with the traditional barcode since both of them are use for tracking the things […]

First of all, main problem of alarming tags in the market currently is that the battery dies quickly and you will have to abandon them afterwards as you can’t replace the battery.

The innovated combination of traditional EAS tag and RFID with laser printing
Traditional EAS tags are widely used in retail loss prevention/anti-theft for many years, with the unique function to act as protection guard for most of the hypermarket, supermarket, textile stores, outlet and so on. Due to the progress of the time and social requirements, RFID as a new technology is becoming more and more popular. RFID is well known in logistics, manamgement of inventory, retails, foods, parking and so on. Its application range is so big and it’s near us everywhere. And since RFID can be used in retails management, most of the stores are using EAS security tags and RFID tags together for anti-theft and product management. Under this situation, some of the stores put forward to an idea: how about combine these two tags together? Not only can simplify the non-commercial products, but also can save cost! Why not?!
