Pharmacies (including Drugstores, Pharmacies, Chemists Shops) mainly deploy video surveillance system, electromagnetic anti-theft devices (such as EAS systems/EM SYSTEM) and RFID anti-theft devices to address the risks of drug theft and prescription drug abuse, and build a multi-layer protection system:
Video surveillance system:
Integrated intelligent analysis module (such as facial recognition), real-time monitoring of the pharmacy interior, automatic warning of abnormal behavior or crowd gathering risks.
EAS electronic commodity anti-theft system:
Composed of detectors, electronic tags (soft/hard tags), and decoders, a warning electric field is formed at the outlet through radio frequency or electromagnetic waves to detect unauthorized tags and trigger alarms
The acoustic magnetic system is suitable for prescription drug shelf areas due to its low false alarm rate and support for continuous signal resonance verification
Hard tags (such as milk powder anti-theft tags) need to be removed with a dedicated locksmith, while soft tags become invalid at the checkout counter through a decoder, achieving drug anti-theft deterrence and precise interception
RFID anti-theft and tracking equipment:
RFID tags embedded in drug packaging, combined with readers deployed at pharmacy entrances or shelves, monitor drug flow in real-time and prevent counterfeit drug circulation
The FDA recommends this technology for full process anti-counterfeiting of drugs, supporting GPRS wireless data transmission and encrypted communication
The system can be linked to inventory management, automatically alert unsettled drugs, and enhance data tamper resistance through biometric or blockchain technology
Technological integration advantages:
Intelligent linkage: EAS detection door and RFID reader collaborate to build a "physical detection electronic tracking" dual prevention mechanism, reducing false alarms and improving response efficiency
No impact design: The channel based detection system supports linkage with the checkout counter to avoid customer queue congestion
