We are pleased to announce that Enigma are the first "security" company to gain level 3 certification for the supply and installation of Datatag equipment used in the "Construction Equipment Security and Registration" CESAR scheme.
Datatag and CESAR combine identification technology linked to a 24/7 secure accredited database to act as a theft deterrent and to help the police identify stolen plant and agricultural machinery and machine parts.
In the past the lack of a dedicated national plant register has meant identification of plant equipment and agricultural machinery has proven difficult, DC Ian Elliott of the SVU (Stolen Vehicle Unit) Metropolitan police recommended the introduction of a national equipment registration and marking system with 24h call centre to PTAG (Plant Theft Action Group). The proposal was accepted by PTAG, the criteria was laid down and tenders invited. On the 14th November 06 Datatag was selected by unanimous vote as the datahandler to provide the security marking system.
In order to gain level 3 certification for the supply and install of the Datatag equipment our team of engineers recently took part in a one day training session at Manitou in Dorset and Bob Cat in the West Midlands achieving certification as CESAR Datatag installers.

Installation of CESAR achieves one of the five stars recommended by Thatcham's 5 Star Initiative for construction plant and agricultural equipment. Further stars can be achieved with the addition of a P2 immobiliser, CAT5 tracking system, unique Key Security and cab guard peripheral security. A number of major insurers are offering discounts of between 15-45% for customers with 3 stars. Enigma has now gained accreditation for a range of products by Thatcham including a P2 immobiliser & CAT5, CAT5Plus tracking devices.
The CESAR data tagging service is now available to all Enigma customers and will be used to enhance Enigma’s security offering in line with Thatcham recommendations.
