Recently, I travelled to Taipei for business trip, I managed to spared some free time to shop at one of the largest bookstore in Taiwan, located near the tallest building, Taipei 101. I brought a book and a music CD. Both artciles were affixed with the RFID tag label, the front label printed
the CD's title, category, price, barcode and the shop name (shown above). For the book, it just have a plain label with a blue postmark in Mandarin, stating the bookshop name (top photo).
Top photo also show the backside of the tag label.
This is the 13.56Mhz frequency tag and beside it used for inventory count, it also served the purposes of article check out at the cashier and provide security to prevent unpaid article being taken out from the bookstore.
RFID High Frequency tags are much more affordable now and it is getting acceptance and widely used in bookstores and CD shops, instead of just using EAS for security/unpaid article detection at the entrance/exit points.
