Checkpoint Systems Introduces Combined EAS/RFID Label

  • May 11, 2007

Checkpoint Systems Inc., a manufacturer and marketer of identification, tracking, security and merchandising solutions for the retail industry and its supply chain, recently announced the introduction of the Evolve™ family of labels, the company's new dual-function EAS-EPC labels for security and inventory management applications. Representing an integrated electronic article surveillance (EAS) and radio frequency identification (RFID) labeling product, the new dual-function labels are designed to help retailers improve inventory visibility at case and item level, while at the same time maximize the benefits of their EAS security systems.

"As products move through the supply chain, on-shelf availability is negatively impacted by theft, damage and paperwork errors," said George Off, Checkpoint CEO. "The combined functionality of the Evolve labels provide the benefits of EAS theft deterrence and EPC inventory visibility. We believe this new labeling solution represents a very practical way forward for retailers, providing them with a flexible and incremental approach to change, at a pace with which they are comfortable."

The patent-pending Evolve labels operate in the UHF band of 860 to 960 MHz for the additional advantage of traceability, and at 8.2 MHz for RF-EAS systems. Checkpoint's technical expertise and innovative manufacturing processes enable the company to combine a Gen 2-compliant product and EAS circuit. As an added benefit, the EAS performance is significantly enhanced. The UHF antenna incorporates the use of Impinj Monza silicon and allows the ability to track information at a greater read distance at the receiving dock doors and onto the sales floor. The Evolve labels can be used in conjunction with existing Checkpoint RF EAS systems and are Gen 2 compliant to work with Checkpoint's UHF Portals or any certified Gen 2 reader and antenna hardware.
