RFID in anti-theft technologies

Just the first two factors multiply by 0 the chances of a full replacement of all other anti-theft systems.

What we can do for you?
— Under the conditions of the necessary and correct noise in the reading range, it is almost impossible to obtain digital information from the tag chip. Therefore, in our near-term plans we’ll create a special-purpose RFID jammer. It will most likely be combined with other jammers and be an additional option.

5. Prospects.

Now I do not see any chances for a full-fledged implementation in other even very large chain stores of the “non-clothing” segment. The cost of tags is high as well as the cost of hardware and software.
Grocery chains are very greedy for such expenses, and what concerns electronic stores or perfumery, even without the use of RFID, they have sufficiently high-quality methods of warehouse solutions.

What have we missed?
— RFID is not only tags and readers … it is very expensive software, it is additional computing power and its administration, these are readers and inventory control with the entire complex of RFID use from the factory to the hands of the buyer. Otherwise, all this does not make sense and repayment. You can study the details of commercial proposals and motives for implementation on a fairly high-quality page:

Which networks are most likely to start using RFID in the future?
— I bet on the H&M network, as they install only NEDAP gates with the built-in RFID module at all new points. The closest to the introduction are ADIDAS and NIKE, since they have been marking most of the goods from the factory for a long time and have warehouse RFID accounting methods. Small local-scale networks have not been noticed for such a development, they are not involved in implementation at all, even without a kind of attempt.

6. The way it works through the eyes of a shoplifter and a security guard.

An item for sale with a tag has a code in the chip for this particular item (in fact, the serial number is assigned at the factory).

When you approach the reading area with this thing and a tag, a notification is sent to the guard’s special smartphone that:
such-and-such thing was in the zone of such-and-such reader, then the guard will come up to you if he was at that moment nearby and ask you “got caught?)”…
No, first, he will ask you where this particular thing is. Then he will check you with a handheld reader that has a narrower search area and will find the tag. But such handheld readers are also very expensive, so it is not a fact that you will see them in reality.
But if the item was at the checkout, the RFID of this item was read and the item went through the check, the notification will not come, but everything will be displayed in the smartphone program and on its screen. Consequently, even the purchased item will go to the store base with the mark “left the store”.

What can you do with this information?
— A question to your imagination, I won’t give you clues or teach shadowy schemes..
