Yes. TAGIT 3D EM systems are designed to reliably detect products concealed in aluminum foil or booster bags, which are commonly used to bypass traditional EAS technologies like RF or AM.This superior performance is possible because TAGIT systems operate at a low electromagnetic frequency, allowing the detection signal to penetrate conductive materials such as foil. This makes TAGIT one of the most effective anti-theft solutions for environments facing foil-based shoplifting tactics.
Yes, with one exception. TAGIT EM labels are fully compatible with all standard electromagnetic (EM) EAS systems except for Meto systems. For customers using both Meto and non-Meto systems, TAGIT offers special dual-technology labels. These are ideal for centralized tagging at distribution centers (DCs) or directly at the manufacturer, ensuring seamless detection across all systems.
Yes. TAGIT 3D EM systems can reliably detect labels placed on metal objects, making them suitable for a wide range of retail and industrial applications. The only exception is magnetized metals, which can interfere with detection. In all other cases, TAGIT’s patented 3D detection technology ensures accurate performance even on challenging surfaces like cans, foil packaging, or metal tools.
To maximize detection performance, label size matters:
Larger products → Use longer labels for a stronger detection signal.
Smaller products → Use shorter labels, or upgrade to high-performance options like:
- Twin Labels
- Power Labels
These specialty EM tags are designed for small or irregular surfaces and offer enhanced detection in high-theft or high-noise environments.
TAGIT 3D EM systems offer exceptional ROI by enabling near-complete protection of your merchandise—including items that are often missed by other EAS systems.
With TAGIT’s advanced EM technology and versatile label and tag options, you can effectively protect:
- All product types – from boxed goods and foil-wrapped items to small or irregularly shaped merchandise
- High-shrink categories – electronics, cosmetics, alcohol, tools, books, and more
This broad coverage leads to:
- Significant shrink reduction
- Higher inventory accuracy
- Faster return on system investment
Almost all products can be protected using TAGIT 3D EM EAS labels and tags. The only exception involves items made from or containing magnetized materials, which can interfere with electromagnetic detection. Thanks to TAGIT’s low-frequency operation and 3D detection field, the system supports:
- Retail items with rounded surfaces, small, in metal, foil, or plastic packaging
- Books and media in metal
- High-theft products across grocery, electronics, cosmetics, and more
This unmatched versatility makes TAGIT 3D EM one of the most flexible and comprehensive anti-theft systems on the market.
Certain electronic or electromagnetic devices located near your TAGIT 3D EM system can introduce environmental noise, which may affect detection performance.
Common sources of interference include:
- Air conditioning units
- Desktop computers or monitors
- LED and fluorescent lighting
- Other EM systems, such as Meto
This type of interference is not unique to TAGIT—it affects most electromagnetic EAS systems. However, TAGIT’s low-frequency operation and 3D detection design help mitigate many of these effects, especially when paired with proper system tuning.
While reducing environmental noise is ideal, TAGIT 3D EM systems are designed with advanced features that maintain strong performance even in challenging conditions.
To optimize detection in high-noise environments:
- Use a Master-Master configuration to boost signal processing
- Enable Turbo Mode for enhanced detection power
- Apply sensor-based tuning to fine-tune sensitivity and stability
These advanced configurations allow the system to adapt to interference from nearby devices like air conditioners, computers, or other EM systems.
TAGIT 3D EM systems can detect security labels across aisle widths of up to 1.3 meters, depending on the type of labels used and the system configuration.
To achieve optimal performance at wider aisle widths:
- Use longer or high-performance labels
- Consider a Master-Master or Turbo configuration
- Ensure the system is properly tuned for environmental conditions
Tip: Proper label placement and system setup play a critical role in maintaining reliable detection at wider entrances or exits.
To achieve the best detection accuracy and widest possible aisle coverage, you should optimize both the system configuration and the label selection. Here’s how:
System Configuration:
- Use a Master-Master setup for stronger and more balanced signal coverage.
- Activate Turbo Mode to boost detection power in wider or high-traffic aisles.
- Incorporate sensor-based tuning to adapt to environmental conditions and reduce interference.
Label Optimization:
- Apply longer EM labels on larger products to increase detection range.
- For small or difficult items, use high-performance labels such as:
Twin Labels
Power Labels
Special surface-specific tags
Combining advanced configuration with the right tag type ensures maximum protection and wider aisle spacing
