Detach / Deactivate

Electronic Article Surveillance (EAS) deactivation is a crucial process in retail security systems. At the point of sale, cashiers use specialized devices to disable EAS tags and labels on purchased items, preventing false alarms when customers exit the store. This process involves deactivation pads for labels, and tag detachers like magnetic detachers or for hard tags.

EAS deactivation technology has evolved to seamlessly integrate with checkout processes. Modern RF deactivators can disable labels as quickly as items are scanned, ensuring no delays in customer transactions. These devices are often incorporated into barcode scanners, allowing staff to efficiently deactivate RF labels while maintaining fast checkout speeds.
