System Failure- Checkpoint Systems

Nothing is more frustrating than listening to anti-shoplifting pedestals continually going off throughout the day. I take that back, one thing even more frustrating is when the alarms are false alarms. Not only are false alarms an irritant for both your customers and your store’s employees, but also it proves to be an ineffective way to stop shoplifting.

I have had many experiences with Checkpoint systems failures that are a direct result of damage done to the EAS pedestals. Sometimes the damages were deliberate as someone tried to disengage our retail theft prevention. Other times it was much more benign, a direct result of countless shopping carts banging into the pedestals on their way out the door during a busy weekend.

Sometimes it was the water from the floor cleaner that would seep into the base and disrupt the electronic components. Regardless of method, the retail theft prevention we had would be rendered null and void due to these damages interfering with the system.

Technology has improved over time. Now the Checkpoint systems are much more durable. The bases are more resistant to water or to intentional tampering. The pedestals are also now constructed from impact resistant thermoplastics. All of which helps keep the systems running when they should and eliminating more of the false alarms that were a result from system failures and damages.
