ADT

ADT, Boca Raton, Fla., is pioneering a source-tagging system based on the Visual Source (VS) Tag concept. By combining the benefits of hard tags for textiles with in-factory fitting, the system ensures that items are protected by the SuperTag VS hard tag from the point of production through the point of sale. The hard, visible tags are small and lightweight, and are made with acousto-magnetic detection technology that offer the highest levels of detection on the market. They also provide dual protection for the retailer. First, they deter potential shoplifters since they are visible to the public. Second, merchandise now arrives at the retailer’s distribution center correctly tagged. Thus, there is no need for in-store tagging which can lead to damaged merchandise and less time to devote to store-level operations.www.adt.com
