CESAR
Plant Registration
The CESAR scheme
The new Construction Equipment Security and Registration (CESAR) scheme went live at the beginning of April. The CEA is acting as lead organisation for the initiative at the invitation of the Plant Theft Action Group
(PTAG) – and Datatag is the service provider. At present only around five per cent of stolen plant is ever recovered - and it is hoped that registration, combined with Datatag's technology, will both deter theft and make recovery more certain.

What
is in the CESAR kit?
The CESAR kit, which can only be fitted by an authorised installer,
comprises:
- Two
tamper proof triangular identification plates (the size may vary
depending on the type of equipment being marked) – with an
option for additional plates. For example, a plate on the top of
a cab roof will make it easier for police helicopters to spot!
- A
unique state-of-the-art RFID chip or tag will be embedded in the
ID plate allowing instant verification by Datatag scanners.
Police, ports authorities and major construction sites will be
equipped with the scanners.
- Mini
RFID tags to be permanently concealed throughout the machine in
various nooks and crannies. Even if the ID plate is removed each
of the concealed tags will contain the key information about the
machine.
- Datatag
data dots and a unique "DNA-coded" chemical solution
which is painted on to the machine. Yet more technology that
links the equipment and its component parts with the authorised
keeper.
- A
registration certificate confirming that the vital information
about your equipment is logged in the CESAR database - plus a
"change of keeper" form for any new owner. Certain
equipment will also get automatic registration with the DVLA off
road register.

CESAR – be prepared
CESAR is a voluntary scheme - although indications are that some site managers and specifiers will stipulate that machines used on their projects will require registration and marking. For example, the Olympic Delivery Authority (ODA) and Highways Agency have expressed keen interest. Manufacturers can elect to fit the CESAR kit as standard or as an option for their customers. Alternatively they may nominate their approved distributors to undertake the fitting on new equipment and that already in operation, ie a retro-fitting service. Datatag and the CEA are offering briefings, training and advice.
