The acquisition of Vue builds on Sensormatic’s strategy to offer integrated technology solutions for its retail customers. Vue’s item-level RFID technology includes a full software platform, RFID readpoints and RF networking devices to track inventory on a real-time basis.
Vue’s software platform enables effective inventory cycle counts to ensure accuracy. The integration of Vue’s RFID infrastructure into Sensormatic’s portfolio of loss prevention hardware and other sensor technologies will enable retailers to deploy RFID at the store level to gain better control, security and visibility into their inventories and increase operational efficiencies, said Tyco International.
Robert Locke, CEO of Vue Technology, said: For the past six years, Vue Technology has focused on delivering to retailers ROI-driven RFID solutions on the market. We believe this acquisition will help to accelerate the adoption of item-level RFID technology to offer retailers greater visibility throughout the retail environment. Vue gains access to Sensormatic’s product development resources and Tyco’s global delivery capabilities. Additionally, it will benefit from the growing Sensormatic portfolio of sensor technologies.
