PLANT THEFT: 2 24 CPA Bulletin > August 2018 www.cpa.uk.net Prevent Cargo Theft with Portable DNA Intruder Spray As cargo thieves continue to adopt increasingly professional and sophisticated tactics, SelectaDNA has developed a new portable battery-powered intruder spray system, which is quick to deploy, easy to arm and disarm, and links criminals to where the crime took place through state-of-the-art synthetic DNA technology. The portable spray system can be used in covert or overt operations and is fully operational within minutes. It is the ideal theft deterrent for cargo, high value goods in transit and tools and equipment in static containers on building sites as it does not need a mains power supply. If the truck or container is broken into then the driver, or a designated mobile number will get an instant SMS notification that the system has been activated. This is ideal for containers or plant that is left unattended. For more information on this product please contact Selectamark Security Systems Plc on 01689 860757 or email sales@selectamark.co.uk Plant Tracking and Asset Management AMI Group has enhanced the company’s range of plant tracking and asset management solutions. AMI’s VT tracking devices now feature integrated Bluetooth technology incorporating wireless and watertight sensors, meaning that customers can now retrieve vital information from the plant or vehicle using Bluetooth sensors without the need of a wired connection. The VT systems are designed to be used as an asset management tool to allow organisations to have complete visibility and control over the plant or vehicle fleets - whether it be to monitor its actual whereabouts in real-time, or to generate servicing, maintenance and other reminders such as MOT deadlines. Users can access GPS positional information, monitor speed violations and set up virtual geo-fence boundaries with the ability to remotely immobilise plant or vehicles, alongside timed and driver ID immobilisation. The AMI Nexis app has also been enhanced which is accessible from the App or Google Store and can be used with all iOS and Android devices. This allows owners to use their phones to track any plant or vehicles fitted with an AMI equipment tracking device. AMI Group’s state-of-the-art tracking devices are covertly installed and provide anti- theft protection. Developed using advanced GPS (Global Positioning System), GSM (Global System for Mobile Communications), RF (Radio Frequency) and battery powered technology, customers can logon to the AMI Nexis web-based portal or access the app to establish the destination of plant equipment in the event of it being stolen.
