Solutions to prevent employee theft and sabotage
R&S®QPS Walk2000 - maximum throughput
Loss prevention is a major concern for many companies. On average, a company loses 5% of its annual revenue to employee theft, and up to 75% of employees steal from their employer at least once. Aside from preventing simple theft, protecting data and intellectual property are also of great importance. The natural solution would be extensive staff screening, but that comes with many challenges such as:
- Long queues during peak times
- Annoying screening procedures
- Staffing problems
- Increased costs
Meet the R&S®QPS Walk2000. This security scanner is ideal for applications that do not need ultimate detection performance but focus on extremely high throughput and minimal disruption to screened persons. People can walk through the scanner at their normal pace, just like walking through a doorway. There is no need to pause-and-pose and no need to remove shoes or outwear. The R&S®QPS Walk2000 can scan up to 750 persons per hour, minimizing queuing to help business manage peak time shift changes.
A key challenge for loss prevention is the variability of items of interest. A loss prevention security solution must be able to detect all kinds of objects - from small electronics to packaged food and anything in between. The R&S®QPS series makes this simple with machine learning algorithms: the scanners can be trained to focus on specific objects or object classes. They can also be continuously updated to detect new items of interest.
The R&S®QPS series also protects employee privacy. The scanners do not generate images but rather display alarms on a generic, gender-neutral avatar. All collected data are protected according to the latest cybersecurity standards by the R&S®QPS Server solution
There are already proven cases of the R&S®QPS Walk2000 being used in loss prevention, for example in food production, cosmetics distribution and film and video game distribution.
R&S®QPS201 - airport-grade security
