frequency identification (RFID) transponders, forensic liquid DNA, microscopic Datadots®, and, UV stealth etching technology the new Datatag ‘total site protection’ system can protect just about anything that thieves are likely to steal. This includes mini-excavators, site dumpers, dipper and loader end attachments, compressors, generators, hand operated power tools, computers, surveying equipment, 4×4 vehicles, and trailers.
The Datatag security marking system gives each piece of equipment a unique ‘fingerprint’ that thieves simply cannot remove. The ‘total site protection’ system acts as a powerful deterrent against theft and an invaluable aid in recovery. Datatag and CESAR are well known to criminals who regard marked equipment as ‘too hot to handle’.
The Datatag ‘total site protection’ system can protect any number of pieces of equipment and dozens of smaller items as the system incorporates a number of packages structured to protect specific types of equipment.
Visit the Datatag on stand C188 at the Executive Hire Show (8th and 9th February at the Ricoh Arena Coventry) to find out more about the packages available. You can visit the company’s website at www.datatag.co/totalsite/ or www.cesarscheme.com for more details.
