Anti theft AM in Supermarkets – Effective Theft Protection with Acousto-Magnetic Technology

Effective anti theft in supermarkets is more important today than ever – especially in high-traffic retail areas. The AM anti theft (acousto-magnetic) offers a reliable solution to reduce shoplifting while ensuring a pleasant shopping experience for customers.

What is AM anti theft?

The acousto-magnetic anti theft (AM) uses a high-frequency magnetic field to detect security tags or clips. As soon as an unpaid item with an active tag passes through the exit system, the antenna triggers an alarm. The technology is particularly resistant to interference and offers high detection accuracy, even with small or metal-containing products.

Advantages of AM anti theft in supermarkets

  • High detection rate even at wide entrances and exits

  • Resistant to electromagnetic interference

  • Ideal for metallic packaging or cosmetic products

  • Aesthetic and flexible system designs

  • Easy deactivation of tags at the checkout

Where is AM anti theft used?

In supermarkets, AM technology is especially used for high-value products such as:

  • Spirits

  • Cosmetics

  • Razor blades

  • Baby food

  • Coffee

– that is, items frequently targeted by theft.
