What is the UHF RFID EAS Security Label NXP® UCODE® 8?

It is a high-performance label that merges ultra-high frequency RFID identification with electronic article surveillance technology. Developed for retail and asset-intensive environments, this label combines the convenience of contactless tracking with the reliability of theft-prevention systems, creating a unified approach to inventory visibility and loss reduction.

Key Features

• Strong read performance in dynamic retail environments
• Durable coated paper construction for consistent quality
• Compact size for versatile tagging without compromising performance
• Compatible with standard UHF RFID systems and EAS detectors

How Does It Work?

The label contains an embedded NXP® UCODE® 8 chip connected to a precision-designed antenna. The RFID component stores and transmits unique item data when scanned by compatible UHF readers, while the EAS circuit triggers security gates if an item leaves the premises without deactivation. This dual-function structure ensures that both inventory data and security status are captured in real time.

Applications and Benefits

• Inventory accuracy – Maintain real-time stock visibility for improved replenishment and sales planning.
• Loss prevention – Prevent unauthorized removal of goods while reducing shrinkage costs.
• Operational efficiency – Reduce manual counting and speed up checkout processes.

By combining two essential retail technologies into one label, the UHF RFID EAS Security Label NXP® UCODE® 8 empowers businesses to protect assets, improve efficiency, and maintain accurate inventory control—delivering a smarter, more secure retail experience.
