At Checkpoint Systems, we offer a wide range of RFID solutions designed to help businesses optimize operations, improve inventory accuracy, and enhance the customer experience.

We provide comprehensive 360° solutions, from labels and hardware to software, ensuring a complete and integrated approach.

Additionally, we offer remote maintenance services, providing ongoing support and ensuring that your RFID systems run smoothly and efficiently.

An RFID tag is a small electronic device used to store and transmit data via radio waves. It’s the core component of RFID technology.

RFID tags provide a fast, efficient, and contactless way to gather and store information, making them essential in a variety of industries. Learn more about RFID tags and their applications here.

Many people think that RFID and NFC are different technologies. However, the reality is that they are not.

RFID is the umbrella name for some technologies that use radio waves to identify and track items.

On the other hand, we have NFC (Near Field Communication) which is a high-frequency RFID technology that allows for wireless communication across short distances, usually a few centimeters.

RF Products

RF (Radio Frequency) technology uses electromagnetic waves to transmit and receive data or signals wirelessly over a range of frequencies. Main benefits are:

  • Wireless communication
  • Wide applications
  • Scalability
  • Cost efficiency when installation.

This technology is present in many areas, such as loss prevention.

RF (Radio Frequency) EAS (Electronic Article Surveillance) systems are anti-theft solutions commonly used in retail stores.

Thanks to this technology retailers can detect and prevent unauthorized removal of items.

How do they work:

  • Tags and labels: items fitted with RF tags or labels that emit a specific frequency.
  • Detection gates: RF antennas, usually placed at store exits, create a detection zone.
  • Signal detection: when an item with an active RF tag passes through the detection zone, the system identifies the tag’s signal.
  • Alarm trigger: if the tag hasn’t been deactivated at checkout, an alarm sounds alerting staff to potential theft.

Yes, RF solutions can be combined with RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) technology to enhance functionality and efficiency. This transition can be easily accomplished in 2 different ways: with a dual antenna (RF / RFID) or by adding an RFID overhead at the point of exit.

While both rely on radio frequencies, RFID adds advanced features like data storage and real-time tracking.

Some examples where this combination can be applicated:

  • Retail: enhance inventory tracking and theft prevention by pairing RFID’s detailed data with RF-based EAS system
  • Logistics: use RFID tags for tracking shipments while RF technology enables seamless communication across supply chains.
