Nedap Retail has signed an agreement with Desigual, an innovative Spanish fashion retailer, to install RFID upgradeable anti-theft systems in all its stores worldwide. With these systems Nedap builds on the knowledge that RFID will continue to gain importance in retailing, without losing sight of the practical challenges of integrating the technology in day-to-day operations.
Nedap’s mission is to be a practical, dedicated and forward-looking partner in retailing. True to its corporate philosophy, to provide ‘technology that matters’, Nedap is planning to introduce more innovations that make RFID an integral part of retailing. One example is the recent release of ID Hand, a handheld device that makes in-store stocktaking faster, easier and more reliable.
The agreement covers equipping all future Desigual stores as well as removing all currently installed electronic article surveillance (EAS) systems. These will be replaced by Nedap security antennas, which support both RF and RFID functionality.
By introducing RFID-ready technology in all its stores Desigual has invested in a future-ready solution so it can continue to stand out in its market.
The agreement between the two companies was signed at Desigual´s headquarters in Barcelona.
