Checkpoint intros hardware for RFID transition

April 30, 2013

Checkpoint Systems, a supplier of shrink management, merchandise visibility and apparel labeling solutions for the retail industry, today announced the launch of EVOLVE Exclusive E10, a range of RF- and RFID-based antennas designed to match a retailer's aesthetics.

The EVOLVE Exclusive E10 range, part of Checkpoint's EVOLVE Exclusive family, provides retailers with a transition to RFID from existing RF technologies, while preserving current EAS label investment, the announcement said. Available in electronic article surveillance (EAS) RFID-ready mode, RFID only and dual-mode RF/RFID, the solution is ideal for retailers wanting a smooth, affordable transition to RFID that simultaneously supports loss prevention and merchandise visibility with a single smart tag.

"Having the right product available in the right place at the right time is essential for retailers seeking to enhance their shoppers' in-store experience, ultimately leading to higher sales," said Farrokh Abadi, president and COO of shrink management and merchandise visibility solutions for Checkpoint Systems. "We developed the new EVOLVE Exclusive E10 range with input from fashion retailers and brand manufacturers looking to adopt RFID to gain greater visibility into inventory, reduce out of stocks and improve sales, both in-store and omnichannel."
