During the vacation season, unguarded construction sites are an easy target for thieves. For example, there were as many as 2,136 thefts at construction sites in 2017. With All-Connects' track and trace solutions, you'll secure your construction equipment in the best possible way.
Theft at construction sites
A construction site acts like a magnet to grabby thieves. Excavators, site machinery and even bulky tower cranes are of great value to criminal gangs and are often stolen from construction sites. Small equipment - such as cables, insulation materials or grinding wheels - also regularly disappears.
Research by Het Laatste Nieuws shows that during the first 9 months of last year some 2,136 thefts took place on construction sites. And, of course, mainly at unguarded times, such as weekends and vacation periods. During the 2017 construction holidays, as many thefts were reported per day.
Camera surveillance: inadequate
More and more private individuals are therefore taking extra measures. For example, they place surveillance cameras at strategic locations on the construction site. Unfortunately, these only record how and when a theft is committed. The images rarely provide useful information about the perpetrators.
The cameras then show oven only what took place in the frame. Once the equipment and thieves have disappeared from view, you have a guess as to the location of your equipment. Gone is gone.
Track and trace: find out the location of your stolen equipment
And that's where All-Connects offers added value. Have machines or objects disappeared from your construction site? Then thanks to our track and trace solutions, you immediately find out the location of the stolen equipment.
How. We provide all your valuable (and rolling) equipment with a tracker, which transmits the equipment's location information at all times. You can then easily track the location of your stolen machinery or items via your smartphone or tablet. Thanks to our system, you have the ability to follow the route the criminals took.
Thus, you have the option of reporting the exact location of your construction equipment to the police. Above all, do not take matters into your own hands by trying to recover your equipment yourself. After all, you are unnecessarily placing yourself in a risky situation.
Geo Fence: delineating your construction site
Want to be notified immediately of theft? With geofencing, you set up a virtual fence around your construction site. As soon as your equipment is outside the demarcated zone, you receive an automatic alert in the form of a text message or e-mail. So you can quickly take the necessary action.
Sensors: detect suspicious activity
Of course, preventing a theft is still first on everyone's agenda. That's why we place sensitive sensors with sophisticated recording software on your construction equipment.
If these sensors detect suspicious activity, you will receive an automatic alarm notification from the system. That way, you can notify the police immediately. And hopefully catch the thieves in time before it is too late and they have disappeared with their loot.
