SML Group has launched GB24U, a dual tag technology combining item-level tracking abilities of RFID with the loss prevention capabilities of an Electronic Article Surveillance (EAS) tag. Incorporating UCODE8 capabilities from NXP, the GB24U8 enables retailers to use EAS technologies to combine traditional EAS functionality with the benefits of item-level RFID, including cycle counts, inventory management, auto-replenishment, and omnichannel and BOPIS fulfillment. Measuring 37.8x70.5mm, the tag has a marked EAS tag area staying within a marked rectangle, delivering loss prevention and brand protection capabilities. As a result, apparel retailers can utilize the GB24U8 to provide an enhanced customer experience focused on convenience and efficiency.
