Checkpoint Systems, Inc announced its CLASSIC N10 electronic article surveillance (EAS) solution, designed mainly for convenience stores, the US firm says.
The N10 features a smaller, flexible antenna that places a premium on floor space, while reducing shrink, improving on-shelf availability and enabling the open display of merchandise, according to the makers. The product protects a range of merchandise, and serves as an introduction for retailers with smaller store entrances and exits as well as other areas within the store where theft occurrence can be high, such as toilet areas and employee break rooms.
Uwe Sydon, Senior Vice President of Innovation, Checkpoint Systems, says: “We’ve researched and worked with convenience stores that have many of the same requirements for loss prevention solutions as larger outlets, but often have neither the floor space nor the budget for standard traditional floor mounted, free-standing EAS antennas. With the introduction of the N10 – featuring one of the smallest EAS antennas on the market — those limitations are gone.”
The N10 uses Checkpoint’s latest detection platforms, which includes jammer detection for organised retail crime attempts to defeat the system, and noise filtering and reduction software. Its bright LED lit acrylic design acts as a visual deterrent for potential theft. The N10 can be wall or door-frame mounted or sited on an optional free-standing floor mount. Retailers can swivel the antenna in any direction, as well as spin and tuck it out of the way when needed.
Retailers using the N10 can choose from a range of product tagging solutions from Checkpoint, including Alpha High Theft Solutions, as well as hard tags and soft labels.
