ADT took part in the study based on its long experience of providing the world's leading retailers with apparel source tagging and EAS solutions from its Sensormatic portfolio. In the most recent study, ADT worked with the University's researchers to set up systems, to confirm protocols and to support testing in diverse retail theft scenarios.
ADT has deployed RFID in a variety of applications including supply chain management, item-level apparel, and asset tracking. In fact, ADT's Sensormatic business unit operates two of the world's eight EPC global-certified RFID labs. ADT's other retail offerings include fire and security protection as well as Sensormatic traffic-sensing and business analytics applications.
The University's research was sponsored by the Voluntary Interindustry Commerce Solutions (VICS) Association, a group of retailers and consumer-focused firms driving innovation and efficiencies in the retail supply chain.
