- Sensormatic
Sensormatic, currently known as Tyco Fire & Security, is in the business of the manufacture and sale of
electronic article surveillance equipment. Sensormatic Electronics Corporation was purchased byTyco International Ltd. in 2001. The acquisition was executed by a merger of Sensormatic with a subsidiary of Tyco. Sensormatic is frequently called by the name of its parent company ADT, formerly ADT/Tyco. They manufacture acusto-magnetic (AM) electronic article surveillance systems.The Sensormatic Supertag is a widely used hard
loss prevention tag. The Supertag took over for the Sensormatic Ultragator tag. Ultragator is the tan Ultra Max tag that can be found in many retail stores. Ultragator tags were improved upon during the design of the Supertag.Sensormatic specializes in the area of sourcetagging. A sourcetag is a security tag or label applied during the manufacturing process. Many international retail chains are embracing sourcetagging. Recently Sensormatic introduced disposable hard source tags at a few of the larger retail chains.
Their main competitor, Checkpoint Systems, also lobbies manufacturers to use their sourcetags that work for radio-frequency systems. Therefore most manufacturers use both when source tagging.
