This article is brought to you by Retail Technology Review: Checkpoint Systems launches 'new generation' of AutoPeg.

Checkpoint Systems has launched its largest, most versatile AutoPeg solution to date that will allow a diverse range of merchandise to be securely displayed on peg hooks.

autopegUniversal AutoPeg allows retailers to expand their loss prevention strategy, working alongside the standard AutoPeg to provide store-wide protection on a range of products that are vulnerable to store sweeps.

The solution features the convenient one-pin attachment, with a bright yellow design and Checkpoint's trademarked black lock to deter potential thieves. However, the latest addition to the AutoPeg range features a wider mouth and enhanced internal mechanism, offering protection for merchandise of varying sizes.

The new design not only means it can clamp onto larger items, but it is more resilient due to the more robust design. Electric toothbrushes, ink cartridges and other high-risk items can all be protected by Universal AutoPeg. Its sturdy form is able to withstand dropping or forcible removal by hand, while offering easy attachment with a One-Click Locking Mechanism. Importantly, it works with all types of detacher, allowing store staff to easily remove it at the Point of Sale.

Irene Fernandez, AutoPeg EU Product Manager for Checkpoint Systems, commented: "Universal AutoPeg is an example of how we not only innovate but build on existing solutions to expand their capability. Designed to increase the options for retailers, the solution serves to boost their loss prevention strategy by offering protection for a wider product set."
