Retailers Fight Theft with RFID and Body-Worn Cameras at PROTECT Conference
Retailers are turning to innovative solutions to combat theft and ensure safety. Over 225 cutting-edge technologies were showcased at the recent our website PROTECT conference, with RFID and body cameras emerging as key tools.
RFID technology offers real-time merchandise tracking, benefiting inventory management and asset protection. It can deter and detect theft, and assist in investigating organized retail crime. Retailers can adopt RFID in a phased approach, starting with a pilot program or specific product category. The three main steps recommended are: start small, analyze peak times, and gradually expand implementation, for example by creating interactive customer experiences like virtual mirrors.
Body cameras are gaining traction due to increasing industry violence. They provide transparent and objective records of incidents. However, implementing them requires careful consideration of privacy, comfort, and scrutiny challenges. Retailers should establish clear written policies and educate employees on their benefits and proper usage.
Retailers face challenges in safeguarding merchandise and people while maintaining a welcoming environment. A structured, balanced approach to implementing modern technologies like RFID and body cameras can lead to great success in maintaining safe and secure retail environments.
