Video Monitoring of Agricultural Equipment

GPS MONITORING SYSTEMS

Introduction

Stealing in agribusiness is a fairly common problem. But there are some methods to combat a theft. We will try to figure them out in this article.

Theft in the fields

Thieves work very fast: they can fit a truck to load and disappear in an unknown direction in a matter of minutes. They steal everything: seeds, herbicides and pesticides, fertilizers, fuel, and crops.

The scheme of stealing the crop is quite simple: it is just unloaded into other trucks in forest plantations or in a distant part of the field.Thieves water the grain in order a shortage not to be found at the weight check.

Inventive frauds use a loophole that the enterprise owner cannot physically control the equipment 24/7, and they steal in large volumes.

There is even a specially equipped transport that empties the equipment tanks in a few minutes. And the result of all these frauds is huge fuel costs and crop losses.

It is also easy to guess that drivers use the equipment for their own purposes, at their own site, or providing extraneous services. This also leads to additional fuel costs.

We recommend installing video recording systems to stop thefts at the enterprise.

These systems make it possible to monitor objects both outside and inside 24/7.
The main advantage is remote monitoring using a mobile application or a desktop computer.

Thus, if you put the right number of video cameras, then all the blind viewing zones will be blocked and any theft attempts will be prevented.

Since the theft of crops or fuel is typical in the agricultural sector, we will describe some cases.

Theft in the field: every single thing can be stolen – protection from pests, seeds, fuel, fertilizers.

Theft of harvest and fuel during transportation.

The use of technology for their own purposes – spending of engine resources, fuel.

If you calculate all the losses during the sowing and harvesting campaigns, the amount will be huge.

Conclusion

Modern technologies will allow companies to reduce or even make these shameful cases impossible. Our experience has proven that video monitoring systems stop theft and make it impossible.

Now you don’t have to worry about the safety of the crop or fuel because a potential thief is always under your supervision.
