The iD Top is an overhead or wall‑mounted RFID Electronic Article Surveillance reader designed for environments where an open and unobstructed entrance is important. It provides accurate item‑level detection using a modern antenna and reader design, ensuring reliable performance even in challenging surroundings. Dynamic Beam Steering helps filter out unwanted tag reads on the shop floor and enables detection of movement direction for each RFID tag. Automatic suppression of interfering tags supports stable performance, even in stores with many security labels. The device is simple to install, offers remote configuration, health monitoring, and firmware updates, and includes standard audio and light signals. It can integrate with existing AM/RF systems or overhead counting solutions, and multiple units can be linked to cover larger entrances.
