What’s at stake? £000’s in lost business, major disruption, and project delays impacting completion dates
"Whilst some plant theft remains opportunistic, there are reports of more organised professional criminals making a good living out of stealing plant items."
“Sites provide a lucrative target for thieves and the impact of plant and tool theft on construction projects is vast, with a ripple effect. The repercussions of project delays and late completion results in disappointed clients, reduced profit margins and increased insurance premiums. Optimising security measures on sites is crucial”

Criminals target construction sites for many reasons:
Most passenger vehicles have many traceable components making them relatively easy to identify, however, with construction plant and equipment, it is far more complex.
High Value assets
Low risk of being caught
Global market due to World-Wide Web
Increased global demand for new and used construction machinery
Shortage of new equipment due to long lead times for delivery
Law enforcement generally have limited knowledge about the identification of construction equipment
Most machinery is left in the open and on unsecured sites
Equipment is easily moved in full view without attracting suspicion
The VINCHIP solution &
how it works
how it works
Our RFID Technology has been used by police for over 25 years because:
- It uses proven technology with superior long-range RFID which can be read by Police scanners – with no risk of revealing the position of the chip.
- We provide overt and covert markings to deter theft and prevent re-identification or cloning for resale by organised criminals.
- Your VIN or unique alphanumeric code will be registered on our Secure Asset Register enabling the Police to instantly identify the rightful keeper.
- VIN CHIP provides a 24/7 dedicated contact centre
LONG RANGE RFID
The most advanced radio frequency identification chips in the marketplace, capable of being read by our leading-edge scanners to speed up identification by the police. They remove the need to gain access to the asset to confirm its identity using RFID reading from a distance.
SECURE ASSET REGISTER
Our own in-house Secure Asset Register is ISO 27001 certified providing a reliable, efficient and secure verification facility.
ISO ACCREDITED IN-HOUSE CONTACT CENTRE
24/7 access to our own in-house contact centre, which is IS0 9001 Quality Management certified.
SECURE QR CODES
Allow an initial validation check to quickly confirm the asset identity, using a simple QR reader easily scanned on a mobile phone.
SECURITY LABELS
Using the very latest in tamper evident material, maximising technology used in the aviation industry to add additional overt identification.
MICRO DOTS
We use 4000 micro-dots to add heavily populated covert markings. Each dot displays either the full Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) or a unique alphanumeric code that is registered to each asset.
