The Challenge
POYA, Taiwan’s largest cosmetics and lifestyle retailer, operates over 250 stores offering a wide range of beauty and personal care products. These high-value, small, and often rounded items—like lipstick tubes, skincare jars, and perfume bottles—are difficult to protect with conventional EAS technology. For years, POYA used Checkpoint Meto EM systems. But when Checkpoint discontinued their EM product line in 2012, Taiwan EAS Tech Co. Ltd.—POYA’s trusted EAS provider—needed to find a reliable, high-performance alternative that could match or exceed existing detection levels and support future scalability.
The TAGIT Solution
After thorough market research and vendor evaluation, Taiwan EAS Tech Co. Ltd. selected TAGIT as the best-in-class replacement for the following reasons:
- Complete In-House Manufacturing: TAGIT provides both the EM EAS systems and labels, ensuring full compatibility and competitive pricing.
- Advanced 3D Detection: TAGIT’s patented 3D EM technology performs exceptionally well in high-interference environments and detects all label orientations—including vertical, which is crucial for cosmetics.
- Custom Labels for Cosmetics: TAGIT offers specialty EM labels designed for small, rounded packaging common in the beauty sector.
- World-Class Support: TAGIT delivered fast, responsive support—via email, Skype, and even technician visits from Europe to Taiwan when needed. By 2013, the first installations began—and to date, around 200 TAGIT EM systems have been deployed across POYA stores.ir technician from Europe to Taiwan.
Results
- Significant Shrinkage Reduction across all stores
- Reliable Protection for small and metallic-packaged beauty items
- No Downtime or Servicing Required over multiple years of operation
- Streamlined Installation and local partner training via Taiwan EAS Tech Co. Ltd.
Partner Testimonial
''We had used Checkpoint Meto EM systems for many years. When they announced they would stop production in 2012, we started looking for a new supplier.After serious comparison of many EM products, including Gateway and other providers, we selected TAGIT. Since 2013, we’ve installed about 100 TAGIT systems in POYA stores. Their labels are particularly convenient for cosmetics—especially high-value, small, and round items.TAGIT provides great support. They respond quickly—by email, Skype, and several times even sent technicians from Europe to Taiwan. They continue to improve their products and solve new challenges as they arise.”— Taiwan EAS Tech Co. Ltd.
Yes. TAGIT 3D EM systems operate at low frequencies, enabling them to detect products even when hidden in aluminium foil or booster bags—techniques used to bypass traditional RF and AM systems.TAGIT labels also perform reliably on metal surfaces, rounded packaging, and small objects. Watch how
Yes, with one exception. TAGIT EM labels are compatible with all standard EM systems except Meto. For customers using both Meto and non-Meto systems, dual-technology labels are available that work across platforms—including tagging at DC or during manufacturing.
Yes. TAGIT 3D EM technology detects labels applied to metal objects—unless the metal is magnetized, which interferes with detection.
Larger products → use longer labels for stronger signal detectionSmaller products → use short or high-performance labels (e.g. Twin or Power Labels)
Longer labels generally improve detection range, and high-performance options boost results for difficult surfaces or formats.
TAGIT systems allow you to protect more high-shrink items than other technologies, leading to significant shrinkage reduction and a better return on investment.

Only items with magnetic properties cannot be protected.This limitation aside, TAGIT 3D EM is one of the most versatile and widely compatible EAS systems available.
Nearby devices such as air conditioners, computer monitors, special lighting, and Meto EM systems can introduce environmental noise. This is a known issue with all EAS systems—not unique to TAGIT.
If environmental noise cannot be reduced physically, you can optimize system performance using:
- Master-Master or Turbo configurations
- Sensor-based tuning
These allow fine adjustment to ensure maximum detection reliability even in challenging conditions.
TAGIT 3D EM systems can detect across aisle widths up to 1.15 meters with standard setups.
- Use longer EM labels where possible
- Upgrade to Turbo Mode or Master-Master configuration with sensors
- Apply high-performance specialty labels for critical items
These adjustments allow greater aisle flexibility and stronger detection performance.
