AdvanGate
Introduction
AdvanGate is a lost prevention system based on RFID UHF. It comprises a pedestal with two antennas, an embedded reader, controller and alarm combining EAS and RFID functions in one system.
AdvanGate detects the tagged items that pass between the pedestals, verifies if those items have been paid,and triggers an acoustic and/or visual alarm if any item has not been paid:
Checks the EAS bit of NXP chips
Checks if the EPC code includes a pre-defined pattern that signals that the product has or not has been paid
Check against the POS database if the product has been paid
Check bulk theft: trigger an alarm if a certain number of tags belonging to the same category are read in a certain time period (e.g. a few seconds).
AdvanGate comprises a Primary unit and a Secondary unit:
The Primary unit has an integrated reader, a controller, an alarm, a visual alarm indicator and two directive antennas.
The Secondary unit comprises two directive antennas.
AdvanSafe works with any hard and soft Gen2 RFID UHF tags.
AdvanSafe includes configurable parameters for minimizing false alarms.
Business benefits:
Shrinkage reduction
Combination of loss-prevention and product identification in one system
The pedestals can be separated up to 3.5 meters. Distances larger than 3 m should be implemented with high sensitivity tags.
Provides data to detect which product suffer more theft attempts
Very quick detection
Continuous detection field
Plug and play installation
Configurations
AdvanGate Primary and Secondary can be single-sided or dual-sided:
Installation with 2 AdvanGate units
There are two options:
Using one AdvanGate Primary (single-sided) and one Secondary (single-sided), connecting them with 2 RF cables and 2 cables to control the Secondary LEDs from the Primary to the Secondary
Using two AdvanGate Primary units, removing the need for RF cables
Installation with 3 AdvanGate units
There are two options:
Two AdvanGate Primary (single-sided) and one Secondary (dual-sided). Two antennas of the Secondary will be connected to one Primary and the other two antennas of the Secondary will be connected to the other Primary. Also 4 cables for the Primary to control the LEDs of the Secondary:
Use three AdvanGate Primary, two of them single-sided and the one dual-sided in the middle:
