For more than 30 years ADT Sensormatic has been developing, producing, installing and maintaining electronic surveillance systems for a wide range of users. Security solutions like the brand-name system Sensormatic® provide retailers with protection against loss of goods.

For some time, ADT Sensormatic has been working to encourage widespread adoption of Radio Frequency Identification. In the Dutch city of Echt, ADT established the RFID Performance Test Center which has accreditation from the international standardization organization EPCglobal. The center provides ADT Sensormatic customers with the opportunity to test how the radio technology can be integrated into their processes. ADT Sensormatic is also a partner in the Apparel RFID Solution Centre in the Finnish city of Lahti. The facility is used for modeling processes in the fashion retail sector, from production and the supply chain to the front store.

ADT Sensormatic is a Silver Partner of the METRO Group Future Store Initiative and cooperates with other participating companies to develop innovative and future-oriented solutions. ADT Sensormatic is also present at the METRO Group RFID Innovation Center in Neuss, Germany, where it provides RFID readers and antennas for the ultrahigh-frequency range (UHF) along with Electronic Article Surveillance (EAS) systems featuring RFID.

Sensormatic® iREAD™ technology simplifies the introduction of RFID at the consumer-goods level and substantially reduces investment costs by consolidating the required infrastructure in a single network. This provides retailers with a flexible basis for exploiting the business advantages of RFID. They need fewer readers, cables and antennas than with conventional RFID systems. iREAD™ is suitable for a wide variety of applications – such as shelves, racks, tables and other display types. This technology supports the EPC Gen. 2 standard.
