Shoplifting poses an ever increasing threat to retailers. Up to 20% of your total profit could be being lost through shoplifting, so the control of shoplifting and deterrence has a direct effect on your bottom line and can even make the difference between success and failure.
One of the most effective means of controlling shoplifting has been the use of security tagging systems, also known as electronic article surveillance (EAS). The best of these systems can dramatically reduce shoplifting levels, acting as a powerful deterrent to casual theft whilst also frustrating the professional shoplifter.

Audio frequency induction loop systems (AFILS) allow hearing impaired people to hear more clearly.
Most hearing aids have a “T” or “MT” switch which allows them to pick up the electromagnetic field generated by an induction loop system. The hearing aid converts this signal into a sound suited to its user’s specific hearing requirements.
Any person with a hearing aid positioned within or near the loop can hear the loop signal by switching their hearing aid to the correct position, allowing them to participate more effectively in general conversation, ordering goods or services or listening to public performances.
