1 In-store stock management RFID smart integrated reader portfolio

2 Manage your stock with item-level RFID With RFID, you can take full control over your stock from the moment your merchandise arrives at the store until the moment it leaves your store. And not just sometimes with some items, but continuously with your complete stock. With RFID readers at the key locations in your store in the stock room, on the sales floor, at the POS and at the store entrance, you know exactly which items have actually been delivered, which items have already been moved to the sales floor, which items need to be replenished and even identify which items were about to leave the store without being paid for. This insight enables you to prevent out-of-stock situations without having to overstock and thus boost sales as you always have the right products available for your customers. To help you achieve this, Nedap offers the complete portfolio of high-performance fixed and mobile RFID readers, ensuring a RFID-based stock management solution that is scalable and easy to integrate with 3rd party software systems.

3 Features & benefits: High-performance, fashionable devices that perfectly fit in a retail store environment Best in-store RFID performance: featuring on-board stray tag filtering & direction detection Global standards: compatible with the GS1 EPC Gen 2 standard, compliant with local regulations Online device management as a standard for remote support & firmware updates Free, open API s for easy integration with 3rd party and legacy systems

4 Dynamic Beam Steering The multiple beams of the antennas are steered electronically in rapidly changing directions allowing for state-of-art tag direction detection and stray tag filtering. Automatic Tag Filtering (ATF) Tags close the system that might negatively influence the system performance, are automatically temporarily ignored. All focus of the RFID readers is then on the tags you actually want to read.

5 Designed for retail All Nedap RFID devices are designed with retail stores and in-store applications in mind. The RFID readers blend in with the store design, are easy to operate and can easily be rolled-out to hundreds of stores in a short timeframe, and also managed afterwards. All Nedap RFID devices have an open Application Programming Interface (API) that can be used by the retailer or a third party software company to integrate the devices in a total RFID solution. Optimum read performance The RFID performance of Nedap s latest generation RFID readers is optimally balanced for the store environment. With the state-of-the-art reader and (patented) antenna design, optimal read performance is ensured, even in the reality of store by store differences and challenging situations. For this, Nedap uses pre-defined roles for selected use cases with optimum parameter settings. The loss prevention (EAS), stock room to sales floor and goods receiving roles each have their own optimized settings that enhance the read performance in that specific role. In a loss prevention role for example, the Nedap antennas are geared to filter out nearby tagged merchandise and detect the direction of a single tag to make sure an alarm is only triggered when an unpaid item leaves the store. In a stock room role however, the detection is optimized towards reliably reading a high volume of tags (e.g. items in boxes, a cage or on a rolling rail) and accurately register the direction on the merchandise (e.g. moving towards the sales floor).

The!D Gate can be assigned different roles: Loss prevention (EAS) Stock room to sales floor movements Goods receiving When used for loss prevention purposes, the!d Gate can be used with RF and/or RFID detection. Transitions from one technology to the other are fast, hassle free and executed at the lowest costs as the existing antennas and electronics stay in place. Optionally, the!d Gate can be equipped with integrated poster holders and customer counting sensors.

7 !D Top Wall- or ceiling-mounted The!D Top is a powerful integrated RFID reader that can easily be mounted on the wall or to the ceiling - almost invisibly. Its compact, clean design blends into every store, keeping the entrance of the store wide open. The!D Top can be assigned different roles: Loss prevention (EAS) Stock room to sales floor movements Fitting room detection Compared to other concealed systems, the detection performance of the!d Top is significantly better in combination with easier and more cost-effective installation: no need to cut floors. The!D Top can be installed above false ceilings, with VESA-mount or hanging on steel cables, which makes it easy to move it to another location whenever the store design changes. remote management & remote service RFID reader buzzer lamp antenna

The!D Hand offers industry standard RFID reading performance and is the perfect companion to the dedicated Fast Stock Taking app on existing in-store mobile devices with Bluetooth connectivity. The!D Hand is ideally used for: Goods receiving and shipping Stock takes (stock room / sales floor) Programming RFID labels

9 USB / ethernet interface rugged casing power over ethernet antenna RFID reader!d POS (De-) Activator The!D POS is an integrated RFID reader to be used for reading items at the point-of-sale station. It has a small, rugged casing that can be mounted under the cash desk. The antenna only reads items on top of the reader, while ignoring items below or next to the antenna, due to the built-in shielding. It can be connected via USB or Ethernet, while the power can be supplied by a local power supply or PoE. The!D POS can be used for: Read items at the POS In stand-alone mode it has the unique capabilities to: Deactivating RFID labels of sold items at the POS Activating RFID labels of returned items at the POS Activating (source tagged) labels in the stock room

10 Remote management Because RFID is a critical part in the process of the retailer, it is important that all systems are always working with optimum performance. All fixed readers automatically report their status to the Nedap Device Management system. This system reports exceptions within minutes and notifies the right people to take action, within your organisation or a designated service partner. New features and bug-fixes can be deployed overnight in automatic firmware updates. Remote service Nedap s online remote is paying off for retailers each and every day. Connected systems can be monitored and serviced remotely - from anywhere in the world -ensuring the highest system uptime. As much as 80% of all service calls are resolved remotely. This results in fewer service call outs which saves precious time and money, not only in the cost of a technician visiting the store, but also in the response time. Worldwide network Nedap has an extensive network of business partners to serve the global retail market. We combine the power of being local with global support. As all partners are certified and engineering staff continuously trained, our high quality standards are assured across the globe. Nedap s retail solution are sold and services through our offices in the Netherlands, France, Germany, UK, Spain, US, China and Hong Kong and our dedicated business partners in more than 100 countries.
