RFID labels or RFID hard tags are completely different than EAS tags, primarily due to an RFID chip which is an essential component of any RFID label (except chipless RFID label). EAS tags on the other hand do not have a chip. RFID labels ensure that each tagged asset has a unique ID and can be tracked, from inventory to shelves but EAS tags can only help with theft prevention, raising an alarm when an unbilled item is taken out of a retail store.
