What Kind Of Loss Prevention System Is Right For Your Store?
Magen can help design a Loss Prevention system based on the nature of your
products, the layout and architecture of your premises and on the other loss
prevention facilities installed.
How The System Works
|
Electronic Article Surveillance (EAS) Systems employ a number of different
technologies for theft prevention, but all systems apply a similar approach:
any attempt to remove an article from the premises or to remove a tag from the
article while on the premises, will trigger an alarm to alert the staff. Some
systems will also render a stolen article useless to the thief, thus adding
deterrence: even if the thief succeeds in removing the article from the premises,
he or she will have gained nothing.

Since shoplifting in these circumstances
is both risky and unrewarding, it is reasoned that the rational thief will refrain
from stealing. When a legal purchase is made, the tag or label is removed or
deactivated by the staff, permitting honest customers to carry their purchases
out of the store without setting off an alarm.
Theft prevention devices are tags or labels with sensors, which may be attached
to articles in a variety of ways depending on the size, shape, material and
value of an article. Tags or labels may be disposable or reusable. In addition
to the tag itself, the Loss Prevention system requires hardware: Detectors and
Deactivators or Detachers.
False Alarms
 |
While you want to prevent theft, you also want to avoid false alarms that occur
when a legitimate purchase sets off an alarm for whatever reason. An honest
customer who has been embarrassed may refrain from visiting your store in the
future. You want your system and the equipment to be reliable. Let Magen help
you choose the most dependable and suitable system and install it for you. Magen
has a long record of reliable service. If you are renovating your facility,
now is the ideal time to install the hardware for your EAS system.
