EAS SOlutions
efficient devices to thwart on site theft
EAS (electronic article surveillance) is a set of technologies such as RF, AM, RFID and various products like detection antennas, cameras and sensors used to prevent theft in your store.
For over 30 years, Fors is recognized as an industry leader in antitheft solutions, with our knowledge and experience, our team is here to help you with your projects.
setup
RF demonstration at a supermarket checkout
Regardless of the technology used, our EAS solutions are simple and typically require you to place :
– Detection antennas or gates at your store’s entry and exit points,
– Adapted anthitheft products (tags, labels, safers, etc.) on the products to secure,
– Deactivators and unlockers at checkout.
These products need to be setup accordingly for them to work effectively.

Technologies
Fors combines different EAS technologies to bring you the ideal protection.
Antenna detection
MONO antennas :
Can be installed alone or in serial. They detect on both sides.
DUO antennas :
They work in pairs and their detection area is limited to one side.
Radio-frequency (RF)
A discrete and efficient solution for your store
The RF technology is the most common on the market. It relies on an 8,2 MHz high frequency radio signal. The internals of the antitheft tags and labels amplify this signal when in range of an antenna, allowing it’s detection.
This technology is very popular, especially in mass retail, and benefits from a large range of antennas and accessories. It has the best performance to price ratio with a detection rate up to 90%, all of it is embeded in a discrete package and a sleek design.
It’s worth noting that metallic objects can disrupt the RF fields, hence the configuration should be handled by a professional.
Applications
◌ Mass retail
◌ Supermarkets
◌ Textile
◌ Footwear
◌ Libraries
Benefits
◌ Detecion rate up to 90%
◌ Aesthetic
◌ Works through liquids
◌ Excellent performance to price ratio
◌ Large range of accessories
◌ Numerous options
Drawbacks
◌ Sensitive to metal
◌ Initial configuration
Acousto-magnetic (AM)
The most adapted solution for large passages
AM systems are the most performant antitheft systems, they rely on a 58 khz magnetic field. AM tags and labels have ferromagnetic slats that vibrate as they enter an AM magnetic field. The vibration is detected by the antenna, allowing the detection.
The main advantage of this technology is that it combines the best detection rate (up to 95%) and a very high range (up to 250cm).
It also allows you to easily protect small products with discrete labels, making this tech ideal for drugstores, perfume and cosmetic items.
The initial configuration, regardless of the model, requires an expert that is able to make an environmental assessment.
Applications
◌ Drugstores
◌ Cosmetics
◌ High-tech
◌ Optics
◌ Museums
◌ DIY, Decoration
Benefits
◌ Detection rate up to 95%
◌ Very discrete labels
◌ False alerts are close to non-existent
◌ Covers a larger area
Drawbacks
◌ More expensive
◌ Expertise required for the inital configuration
◌ Sensitive to metal
electro-magnetic (EM)
A technology suited for metallic products
The EM thechnology was the first to appear on the market. It’s similar to AM with the difference being that it detects a magnetized antitheft in it’s field.
This technology is decreasing in popularity with the arrival of RF and AM systems that offer better performance. However it allows labels to be reactivated, making it a perfect solution for libraries amongst others. This technology also allows metallic products to be protected, making ideal for various hardware stores.
Applications
◌ Libraries
◌ Media stores
◌ Various hardware
Benefits
◌ Protects metallic products
◌ Discrete accessories
◌ Cost of accessories
◌ Reusable labels
Drawbacks
◌ Cost of antennas
◌ 80% detection rate
◌ Range limited to 90cm
Fighting experienced thieves : available options
Protect the protection
In their attempts at countering currently deployed antitheft systems, thieves are developing countermeasure technics, such as powerful magnets to disable some antitheft products, or by using a “booster-tag”.
With these technics being public knowledge, solutions can be deployed in order to protect antitheft products.
Metal detection
The booster-bag is at first glance a standard bag, however it is discretely coated with aluminium inside in order to block detection signals. A discrete and effective way to steal, usually for clothing.
It’s impact is most often underestimated, as it represents the biggest loss in revenue for stores. It is recommended to combine your traditional antennas with a metal detection solution.
magnet detection
Magnet detection antennas are usually installed in fitting rooms for them to be able to detect prohibited magnets that can be used to disable some antitheft devices.
