HOW VIN CHIP's AGRICULTURAL MACHINERY SECURITY SYSTEM WORKS

Our agricultural machinery security system is based on RFID theft detection technology which has been used by police for over 25 years because:

• It uses the most advanced long range RFID chips available, which can be read from unrivalled distances of up to 30 metres when combined with our unique software on handheld scanners.
  
  
• VIN CHIP makes it quicker and safer to identify assets, as it removes the need to gain access to the farm machinery or equipment with no risk of revealing the location of the chip.
  
  
• Your VIN or unique alphanumeric code will be registered on our in house Secure Registration Database, which is ISO27001 certified. It has been expertly handling security asset details for over 25 years, enabling the Police to instantly identify the lawful ownership.
  
  
• Our ISO 9001 Quality Management certified contact centre is available 24hrs a day, 365 days a year, supporting you and protecting your agricultural machinery and equipment.  The experienced team are specialists in assisting the police in the recovery of high value assets.
  
  
• VIN CHIP’s Forensic security provides secure QR codes, tamper proof security labels and hidden micro dots to deter theft and prevent re-identification or cloning of your heavy machinery and farm equipment for resale by organised criminals.

AGRICULTURAL VEHICLES AND MACHINERY SECURITY AND ANTI THEFT DEVICES

The need for agricultural vehicles and machinery security and anti-theft devices is rapidly growing across the UK as the sector is being hit hard by rural crime incidents, which is having a major impact on farming communities.

AGRICULTURAL VEHICLE AND MACHINERY THEFT PREVENTION

Agricultural vehicle and machinery theft is an escalating threat to farmers and our rural communities. Latest figures from the National Farmers Union Mutual show that the cost of rural crime increased by 22.1% in 2022, with agricultural quad theft up 34% and trailer theft up a staggering 66% in 2021.

The effects of these crimes don’t stop at the financial implications for farmers but cause immeasurable disruption to essential day to day farmwork, often at critical times, and delays whilst sourcing replacements for the stolen agricultural vehicles, machinery or equipment.

Farming families and rural communities are often left feeling vulnerable, intimidated and anxious. It is crucial to ensure your assets have the very best protection.

AGRICULTURAL VEHICLE AND MACHINERY SECURITY SYSTEM

VIN CHIP’s agricultural vehicle and machinery security system uses innovative technology and alongside our work with the Police, it has successfully disrupted criminal activity in the leisure vehicle industry particularly the caravan sector.  It can be equally effective in driving down vehicle, machinery and equipment theft in the agricultural industry.

Fitting VIN CHIP’s agricultural machinery anti-theft devices will provide the best RFID theft detection and forensic security available to protect your business critical machinery, whilst also supporting the UK’s fight against rural crime.  It complies with the Equipment Theft Prevention Act 2023 and is an easy, cost-effective way to build in the best for your business and your customers.    

AGRICULTURAL MACHINERY AND HEAVY EQUIPMENT THEFT

The shocking truth is that stolen agricultural machinery and heavy equipment is often handed back to the criminals who stole it, as our identification expert in agricultural vehicles, machinery and equipment theft explains below:

AGRICULTURAL MACHINERY OR EQUIPMENT THEFT CAN CAUSE £000S IN LOST REVENUE AND DISRUPTION

What’s at stake when agricultural machinery or equipment theft occurs?

Farming businesses suffer from the financial implications of sourcing replacement farm machinery and increased insurance premiums but also major disruption as a result of equipment theft.

Farmers have told us of the devastation they felt when they suffered a machine theft – the major impact on the day to day working of the farm, the delays affecting their harvest and cultivation work, not to mention the expense and losing critical days, at key times of the year, when turnaround times are already tight.

WHY CRIMINALS TARGET AGRICULTURAL HEAVY MACHINERY AND FARM EQUIPMENT

Organised criminals are targeting agricultural heavy machinery and farm equipment for their high resale values in the UK and in Europe.  In fact, not only are the larger, heavy machinery such as tractors and agricultural telehandlers at high risk of theft but other vehicles such as quads, ATVs and GPS Systems which are easily portable, have seen a significant increase in thefts reported.

Most passenger vehicles today have many traceable components making them relatively easy to identify.  Unfortunately, with agricultural vehicles and farm machinery, it is far more complex.

Criminals change the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) making it difficult to establish the original VIN and preventing easy identification of the stolen item. As a result, the police often have no choice but to return the machine to the person from whom it was seized. So, it’s easy to understand why many victims of crime believe their machine was never recovered.
