iD Top
RFID-Based Overhead EAS Solution

iD Top
Nedap iD Top RFID-based overhead anti-theft solution: no floor-standing gates, no impact on store layout, easy to install and expandable with inventory management functions.
Ceiling-mounted RFID antennas take up no sales space and showcase products in a bright, open environment with a completely open entrance.
Hidden RFID antennas offer significant advantages, such as determining whether a product is leaving the store, entering it or simply stationary, greatly reducing false alarms.
Whether RFID-based EAS is the first or the last step of your RFID rollout, iD Top gives you a scalable, future-proof solution that permanently reduces store loss.
To meet the needs and standards of today's store design, we developed a hidden, ceiling-mounted EAS solution that reduces shrink, improves product availability and covers wide entrances. This makes it the ideal Electronic Article Surveillance solution for retail stores.
The RFID-based overhead EAS iD Top ensures simpler, more cost-effective installation, as no major construction work is needed. The overhead RFID unit can be installed above a false ceiling, with a VESA mount, suspended from steel cables or attached directly to the ceiling, making it easy to move to another location whenever the store design changes.
